Bueno...








Digamos que los años no han sido buenos con ella... Ahora en esta portada no se sabría quién es la Norman y quién la otra:

Reedición del sello Orfeo d'Or de la Luisa Miller vienesa (el estreno en Viena en 1974 de la obra) con Lilian Sukis como Luisa, Franco Bonisolli como Rodolfo, Christa Ludwig como Federica, Giuseppe Taddei como Miller y Bonaldo Giaotti como el malvado conde Walter. Dirige el agitapalos Alberto Erede.

Vestido almodovariano: es horroroso, horroroso.

¿Y la orquesta y el maestro que tal son?

¿Como puedes saber que es feo si casi ni se ve?
Por lo poco que si se ve a mi sí me gusta porque me encanta el color rojo fuego y los olanes y/ volantes, o sea exactamente lo que a mi figura no le queda, pero en fin.

Y en cuanto al disco, ¿podrías decirnos que contiene? aunque tratandose de Sondra y de Verdi supongo que no faltaran las leonoras, las elviras y las amelias, ¿no? cuenta, cuenta.

“On her new album, Dark Hope, opera star Renee Fleming takes a ‘visit to a new, parallel universe.’ … Dark Hope finds ‘The People’s Diva’ covering songs by Muse, Arcade Fire, The Mars Volta, Death Cab For Cutie, Leonard Cohen, Band Of Horses, and more.”

And! Singing backup vocals, Fleming daughters Sage and Vermouth!

Kraus suena todavía mejor?

Mascagni & Leoncavallo's Pagliacci and Cavalleria Rusticana

Pagliacci
José Cura, Fiorenza Cedolins & Carlo Guelfi


Cavalleria Rusticana
José Cura, Paoletta Marrocu & Liliana Nikiteanu


Zurich Opera House, Stefano Ranzani (conductor) & Grischa Asagaroff (director)

Set Design by Luigi Perego.

Two timeless stories of love, honour, justice and violence, captured on just one DVD – a highlight for every opera lover.

Pietro Mascagni‘s “Cavalleria rusticana” and Ruggero Leoncavallo‘s “Pagliacci” speak to one‘s heart and soul. They are regarded as the most absorbing tragedies of Italian music theater. Adultery, jealousy and betrayal are leading to passionate conflicts that jointly connect both operas. The impressively embellished stage waives exaggerated decoration to underline the unflattering realistic brutality. Both operas are supported by a musical variety of great arias, short duets and amazing choir passages that add to the unveiled expression of feelings. As a special guest the Argentinian Tenor José Cura stands out with his fascinating singing and acting performance. Besides him Soprano Paoletta Marrocu with her expressive interpretation of Santuzza, Carlo Guelfi as Tonio or Fiorenza Cedolins as Nedda can convince the audience with their great voices. These atmospheric performances directed by Grischa Asagaroff and conducted by Stefano Ranzani are capable to fascinate every opera lover.

Donizetti: L'elisir d'amore
Recorded live at Glyndebourne Opera House, East Sussex, United Kingdom, in August 2009.

Ekaterina Siurina, Peter Auty, Alfredo Daza, Luciano di Pasquale & Eliana Pretorian

London Philharmonic Orchestra & The Glyndebourne Chorus, Maurizio Benini (conductor) & Annabel Arden (director)

Acclaimed Italian conductor Maurizio Benini makes his Glyndebourne debut in Donizetti’s intoxicating and deeply touching opera, whose fast-moving comic story unfolds the romantic rivalry between penniless farmhand and bumptious soldier, both vying for the love of Adina. Will the bogus Dr Dulcamara’s potion – the elixir of love – help farmhand Nemorino win her heart? Peter Auty takes the role of Nemorino with Ekaterina Siurina as Adina. Recorded in High Definition and true surround sound.

“It is a beautifully achieved piece of work. … Peter Auty’s Nemorino is world-class in his vocal accomplishment and touching presentation of the character’s plight. Alfredo Daza sounds exactly the right notes of God’s gift to women bumptiousness and fundamental decency with his good-looking, healthy sounding Sergeant Belcore. Luciano Di Pasquale hits the spot as the fake potion seller Dulcamara, bringing colour and vivacity to his every appearance. The chorus are marvellous. Maurizio Benini maintains lively music-making in the pit.” The Stage
