  • 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.

Giuseppe Verdi Messa da Requiem per soli, coro e orchestra 16 marzo 1874: “...quella Diavola di Messa, la quale finalmente è finita”. Dopo trent’anni e passa di dedizione pressoché totale al melodramma, Verdi completava un approdo alla musica sacra che oggi ci appare tutt’altro che casuale o privo di significato. Un approdo, certo, non un ritorno: troppo lontane nel tempo, ma soprattutto nello spazio mentale, le composizioni giovanili scritte a Busseto, prima che il teatro diventasse definitivamente la sua professione. Ma, a ben vedere, fra quei giorni ormai sbia- diti nella memoria e questo poderoso presente un filo sottile sottile di continuità forse c’è. La prima pietra l’aveva posta nel 1868, alla morte di Gioachino Rossini, lanciando l’idea di un Requiem collettivo in sua memo- ria, musicato una parte per ciascuno dai principali composi- tori italiani.
