There was a lot of buzz surrounding this version of Alessandro’s Scarlatti’s Griselda when it was first released in 2002 and soon after, a barrage of articles were published across the world singing its praises. It was considered a momentous occasion in the world of opera. It is a dramatic and wonderful piece and René Jacobs’ lively rendition of Scarlatti’s score in January 2000 at the Berlin State Opera is a real success. Dorothea Röschmann is also the ideal performer for the lead role, conveying the emotion and meaning behind every word marvellously and giving her character a genuine and individual personality that was not often conveyed in operas at that time. The rest of the cast, including Bernarda Fink, Veronica Cangemi and Lawrence Zazzo, are equally of high calibre.
It’s also worth mentioning that the libretto (set to music by other composers, such as Vivaldi) is by Apostolo Zeno and (for once) acknowledges the defeat of men. “Griselda is not degraded but transformed by the humiliations inflicted upon her. A champion of selflessness, she doesn’t arouse pity so much as admiration. She is a moving but superhuman character, a heroine in the original sense of the word, in search of the absolute, a fabulous but also overwhelming role”. (Bernard Schreuders).
The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin orchestra in Berlin is magnificent here and takes on board even the most minute details of the composer’s theatrical intent with absolute mastery. Scarlatti’s score is full of instrumental richness and the innovative René Jacobs has developed this even further with his own alterations. We certainly have no complaints. © François Hudry/Qobuz
