Daniel Auber's two-act opera Le Philtre ("The Potion") inspired Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore, which used an Italian version of the Eugène Scribe libretto set by Auber. Donizetti's opera remains one of the most frequently performed of all, while Auber's is forgotten; this recording, from the Rossini Festival in Bad Wildbad, Germany, apparently marks its recorded premiere. Yet an audience of the 1830s might have guessed that Auber's opera, which ran for 243 performances, would be the one that would last. From a modern perspective, it is easy to see why Donizetti won out; he added the aria "Una furtiva lagrima," on which the whole story comes to turn, and in so doing, he turned Auber's rustic comedy into a key document of Romanticism. Yet the obscurity of Auber's opera is undeserved. It is practically bulging with great tunes: sample the Act One finale, "C'est un order du capitaine," which is almost Mozartian in its facility at hanging great tunes on a large musical framework. The cast here is led by tenor Patrick Kabongo as the peasant Guillaume (Nemorino in Donizetti's opera), who seeks pharmaceutical intervention in his pursuit of the unattainable Térézine (Adina). Kabongo is a gifted comic tenor, and all of the singers keep the action moving along. Fans of L'elisir d'amore are sure to enjoy this opera, and most listeners will come away feeling that it deserves a full-scale revival; given the best-selling chart performance of this release in early 2023, that revival may already be underway.
