Va a nacer la leyenda de los problemas de Puccini con sus libretistas: Riccordi le entrega un libreto de Ruggero Leoncavallo, que no le gusta nada; a continuación contratan a Marco Praga y Domenico Oliva, que discuten con Puccini y Praga abandona el proyecto; interviene en el libreto el propio Riccordi y también Puccini, y por fin lo acaba Luigi Illica, que con Giuseppe Giacosa serán los libretistas en sus tres óperas principales.

  • Bellini's Norma
    Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

  • Verdi's Simon Boccanegra: a Survey of the Discography
    Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra: A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore I think of Simon Boccanegra as something of a connoisseur’s opera, insofar as it surely contains some of Verdi’s most inspired music, yet has from its premiere rightly been criticised for its labyrinthine plot – a caricature of typically operatic complications – and its consequent lack of accessibility for audiences. For that reason, the first version soon fell out of favour after its 1857 premiere, but Verdi, no doubt with justification, thought highly enough of the music to undertake a revision twenty-three years later with the help of Arrigo Boito, and the result, the 1881 version, is the one almost invariably performed today. The most important addition was the Council Chamber Scene; the opera would be much the poorer without it, but Verdi also revised a good deal of the music to render it far more ductile and atmospheric. The opera presents an admixture of personal and political turmoil such as we encounter in other mature operas like Les vêpres siciliennes and Don Carlos, but also capitalises on two archetypal themes very prevalent in Verdi’s operas and to which he frequently returned, both of which prompted the best of his music: the depiction of a loving but tortured father-daughter relationship of the kind we also see in Luisa Miller, Rigoletto and Aida and his concern for statesmanship, as exhibited in the appeals for peace, patriotism and brotherhood, rallying calls stretching right back to his earliest operas, such as Nabucco, I Lombardi, Attila and La battaglia di Legnano.
