    [ill □§@ Pristine □ □ Pristine DIGITAL AUDIO PACO 158 Puccini XR XR Manon Lescaut PACO 158 Giacomo Puccini's third opera, Manon Lescaut, premiered at the Teatro Regio, Turin in 1893 and was the first of his operas to garner I I international acclaim. Musically the opera showed clear evidence of Puccini's growing mastery of tuneful lyricism and his ability to Rn~~t~u~ n evoke a sense of place. The story of a doomed heroine was one that Puccini would return to with even greater success in La Bohf?me (1896), Tosca (1900) and Madama Butterfly (1904). The New York premiere in 1907 featured Lina Cavalieri, Enrico Caruso and Antonio Scotti in the cast, and Puccini himself in the audience, but fell out of the repertoire in between 1929 and 1949. When a new Met production of Manon Lescaut was mounted in 1949 it featured Swedish t enor Jussi Bjbrllng as Des Grieux. Bjbrling learned only two new roles after branching out from his operatic home at the Royal Swedish Opera in the lat e 1930s. One was Don manon licia albanese Carlo, which opened Rudolf Bing's tenure as general manager of the Metropolitan Opera in November 1950, the other was Des Grieux in Manon Lescaut. Over ten years, between 1949 and 1959, Bjbrling sang the role just 25 times, but we have no less than four des grieux Jussi bjbrling complete recordings of him in this opera: the Met's first ever broadcast of the opera in 1949, a studio recording in 1954, this Met broadcast from 1956, and a bi-lingual broadcast from Stockholm in 1959.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto

    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.

  • Opera Recordings: a Very Personal Guide by Ralph Moore

    Opera Recordings: a Very Personal Guide by Ralph Moore

    “Untouchable” and ”Most Recommendable” Opera Recordings: a very personal guide by Ralph Moore My handful of regular readers might have noticed some glaring omissions in the list of thirty-seven major operas whose discographies I have surveyed over the last couple of years - operas whose quality and popularity are such that one might reasonably have expected me to have included them in my labours. There are, after all, probably around fifty truly first-rate operas which have been most often performed and recorded and I have by no means covered them all. I received requests to survey some of the following but on consideration, I realised that there were good reasons for my reluctance to do so. The most obvious omissions are these twelve operas: Verdi’s La traviata and Il trovatore; Wagner’s Lohengrin and Tannhäuser; Mozart’s Don Giovanni; Puccini’s La bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Turandot; Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia; Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and Beethoven’s Fidelio. My reason for not having reviewed them collectively is that either the opera in question has received one or two recordings of such definitive quality that consideration of the others is otiose or there are so many good recordings of it in the catalogue that making a helpful or meaningful recommendation becomes difficult. I have therefore decided to circumvent the problem by making some brief, annotated recommendations and guidance for those major operas hitherto neglected. Obviously, my selections are highly subjective and controversial, and other collectors will be dismayed that I have ostensibly rejected their own candidates for recordings of classic status or nominated one they loathe but at the same time I think I may fairly claim that these are, in general, recordings which have stood the test of time.

  • Decca Discography

    Decca Discography

    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.
