The Eastman Philharmonia’s recent performance of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, under the guest baton of Brad Lubman, was just such an occasion. Prepared and conducted su- perbly by Brad, and exuberantly performed by students clearly amped up by the music and the occasion, the raw beauty of one of Stravinsky’s greatest works came to stunning life. The power of this experience had nothing to do with outcomes, technologi- cal expertise, assessment, metrics of excellence, or gainful employment upon graduation. This was pure energy funneled into an art form. It was exotically NOTES irrational. It was about the rigorous pursuit of beauty, Volume 30, number 1 pure and simple.

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.
