Verdi: La Traviata

Bayerisches Staatsorchester

Opera - Released January 29, 2008 | Farao Classics

Hi-Res
Farao Classic's recording of La Traviata is revelatory, largely because of the extraordinary quality of the principals who, until this release, were largely unknown to international audiences. Anja Harteros is a stunningly effective Violetta -- fresh and young sounding, with absolute vocal security and interpretive sensitivity. Her tone is natural and unforced, she sings with beautiful intonation, and the skill and psychological range and insight with which she shapes the vocal lines make this a performance of the highest order. Her of renunciation of Alfredo and her death scene are heartbreakingly poignant, great moments of theater. Her voice and her dramatic depth clearly mark Harteros as an artist to watch out for. The same could be said for Paolo Gavanelli; his burnished, vibrant tone in service to a nuanced, compassionate characterization makes his Germont genuinely compelling. Piotr Beczala makes an intense, passionate Alfredo, and he sings with an open-throated, clarion sound, but he sounds too consistently overwrought to be completely persuasive. Zubin Mehta is in top form, in complete control of the score's tragic dramatic arc; his reading is both shapely in its details and propulsive in its theatricality. The Bayerischen Staatsorchester and the Chorus of the Bayerischen Staatsoper are fully responsive to his direction and perform with finesse and urgency. The SACD's clarity, presence, and balance are unusually good for a live recording. This fine new version should be of strong interest to anyone who loves the opera. © TiVo

Marina Rebeka

Opera - Released November 1, 2019 | Prima Classic

Hi-Res Booklet
As if trying to prove that opera's centre of gravity has changed, this new Traviata is from Latvia. Recorded in Riga between 24 March and 3 April 2019, it's the first studio recording of a Verdi opera for... 26 years. This production shows off today's great voices, with a moving Violetta from Latvian soprano Marina Rebeka, who has been singing this role very successfully on the great stages of the world since 2007 and meeting with great acclaim (she has already featured in a Naxos DVD of a live performance of La Traviata in Hanover). At her side, Alfredo is played by Charles Castronovo, one of the world's most sought-after lyrical tenors. He sang this role (also for a DVD recording) alongside Natalie Dessay at Aix-en-Provence. As for the Verdian baritone George Petean, he is also seen at Vienna, and at Covent Garden, the Metropolitan, Dresden and Zurich. At the stand, the young German lyrical orchestra conductor Michael Balke is on the up and up. After having led the Magdeburg Opera, he is currently the musical director at St. Gallen, in German- speaking Switzerland. And today he is gradually becoming more and more in- demand on the Tokyo stage and on stages across Europe. For musicians, making a record often means running a gauntlet. Following her international success, Marina Rebeka, like a great many artists today, turned the tables by creating Prima Classic, her own independent label, keeping her intellectual property rights and artistic independence over her work: all in order to enjoy total freedom in her own artistic choices. This Traviata is very polished both vocally and instrumentally, and it's one of the first outings for the new label. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Verdi: La Traviata

Dame Joan Sutherland

Classical - Released January 1, 1980 | Decca Music Group Ltd.

Joan Sutherland was in her early fifties when she made this 1976 recording of La traviata, so her voice has a maturity that isn't ideal for Violetta. Her technique and her distinctive brightness are still fully evident, though, and her performance is sometimes vocally dazzling. Luciano Pavarotti was close to his prime at the time of the recording, and he sings with his characteristic breadth, vigor, and intensity. Matteo Manuguerra is a sturdy Germont. Richard Bonynge leads the National Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Opera Chorus in a spirited, traditional take on the score, one of the relatively few recordings of the opera that is absolutely complete. The sound is superb and clear, clean, and present.© TiVo

Handel: Parnasso in festa, HWV 73 (Live)

La Cetra Barockorchester Basel

Opera - Released August 1, 2017 | PentaTone

Hi-Res Booklet
Andrea Marcon and La Cetra Barockorchester & Vokalensemble Basel sparkle in this new release of Handel’s forgotten masterpiece Parnasso in festa, recorded shortly before their hugely successful Netherlands premiere of the opera in November 2016. Handel wrote this sumptuous work in 1734 to celebrate the marriage in London of Princess Anne and Prince William of Orange. Cast in the form of a serenata, Parnasso in festa recounts the joyful wedding feast of Thetis and Peleus at which the Muses are present. It’s packed with breathtaking arias, duets and choruses, all written with the verve, drama and sense of occasion to be expected from Handel. The soloists that he had on hand for the premiere were among the greatest Italian singers of the day – Giovanni Carestini, Margherita Durastanti, Anna Maria Strada del Po and Maria Caterina Negri. The care he lavished on the richly instrumented score is striking, from the masterly reworking of material from his oratorio Athalia to the ravishing original material, making this work unique among Handel’s output. Parnasso in festa proved to be very popular in its day it and was revived several times, yet after 1741 was largely forgotten. Now after years of neglect, this superbly crafted work has been recognised for the glorious entertainment that it is. © Pentatone
