Rosa Ponselle Prima Voce.......2006-03-18

These are old recordings, but great from the standpoint that it is the only way we can hear an almost faithful representation of her great voice.

It is a very fine selection of opera arias.

Albert C. Ruocchio

Avatar or envoy of gods.......2006-02-14

Nasal ringing sound, like one of Caruso, Bechi but better. Frequent intrusions into men's repertoire ('Song of Indian merchant', 'In questa tomba oscura', 'Tre giorni son che Nina', 'Der Tod und das Madchen', etc).
Best singer, best voice.
Early retirement because of higher nasal impedance.

The most ravishing soprano voice. Ever........2005-08-23

Many would argue that this was the most beautiful soprano voice ever - or at least ever recorded. And it's a strong argument. Such richness, such depth, such warmth, such glorious freedom, such security - who else, before or since, can match them. Destinn? A bit blousy. Boninsegna? The voice changes through the passagio. Rethberg? Close, but no cigar. Tebaldi? A bit shrill by comparison. Callas? Dramatic, yes, but beautiful, I don't think so. Gheorgiu? Good by today's standards, but no contest.

No, this thick double-cream stream of tone is something to relish, to sit back and just enjoy. Try her 'Casta Diva' or 'Un bel di' to see how it feels when you approach every high note with joyous anticipation and not with the prospect of a wince (cf. Callas). The Nile aria from Aida is as near perfection as we have any right to expect this side of Opera Heaven - a wondrous piano high C. And on these discs you will also find one of my all-time favourite records - La Vergine degli Angeli from La Forza del Destino where you get, not only Ponselle's wondrous soprano at the top, but also her bass equivalent, Ezio Pinza, below. Two wonderful voices for the price of one.

The Nimbus sound, achieved by recording what actually emerges from the record into a room rather than directly off the shellac, is not to everyone's taste. But it is to mine. It allows the singer's voice to develop and bloom and sound, to my ears, very natural.

The richest, most beautiful voice in history!.......2004-02-10

More beautiful than Caballe and Sutherland combined! A voice like a gleaming red ruby, the greatest lirico spinto of the century. Her Verdi-recordings have found their equals only in Callas' insightful performances but she did not quite possess the creamy, gleaming luxury timbre that Ponselle had. Being reported as one of the biggest voice in history (On occasions she drowned out Titta Ruffo!!!!) she will dazzle you like only Callas could afterwards. She debuted as Leonora in Forza in her teens (I think she was 18) with Caruso as Don Alvaro and made operatic history. Her Gioconda was as legendary as her Giulia (Vestale), repertoire only to be sung by Callas to the same perfection. Her brilliant Aida puts most others to shame, as do both of her Leonoras. Two complete opera-recordings with her exist: La Traviata and Carmen. Get them both and be charmed by the most gorgeous voice in history!

Callas was correct..........2002-11-19

When I read that Maria Callas credited Rosa Ponselle as her vocal idol and only inspiration, the first thought I had was that if a soprano as great as Callas said this, is because it should be true. When I bought this CD I proved the affirmation was correct: you only have to hear Rosa Ponselle's voice and verify that she is one the best sopranos of the century, and why her voice was the inspiration of many Callas's roles, including Norma, La Gioconda and La vestale. The sound quality of this CD is incredible if we consider that the recordings dates from the 1920's

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful but not exceptional!.......2005-11-18

I love Pantoja and always will. The orquestra was, for the most part, drowning Pantoja's voice. It seems that Pantoja was either lacking the "Copla" strength she once possessed or she wasn't at her very best when she recorded "A Tu Vera." For those who are familiar with her early recordings, in particular, "La Cancion Espanola, 1990," can FAIRLY compare her voice and sound. Although I do like this album, I am not very impressed with the results. I know she could had done better.

EXCELENCE!!!!.......2002-12-14

POWERFUL INTERPRETATION OF STANDARD SPANISH CLASSICS.
WATCH HER IN CONCERT...THE BEST!

ISABEL PANOTJA THE QUEEN OF COPLA!.......2000-11-23

WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT LA PANTOJA? SHE IS HE ONLY TRUE COPLERA OF SPAIN AT THIS MOMENT. WITH HER GYPSY BACK GROUND SHE PUT FORCE IN HER VOICE FOR THE BEST BECAUSE SHE IS THE BEST. WHEN SHE PERFORMS, SINGING, DANCING, ETC. IT'S LIKE THE FIVE SENSES COMING TOGETHER ALL AT ONCE. LIKE ALL HER WORK THIS WAS ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FOR EVERYONES COLECTION. UN BESO MUY FUERTA PA' TI PANTOJA, OLE!!

Reina De La Copla.......2000-04-15

Hablar de ISABEL PANTOJA, es hablar de "Copla". Su nombre es propia "Copla". En esta grabacion nos demuestra una vez mas que lo suyo es esto, lo lleva en la sangre. Quien piense en Isabel Pantoja, piensa en copla, bata de cola,maton, penieta, en fin que es la unica y autentica, "REINA DE LA COPLA"//Who ever talks of ISABEL PANTOJA, talks of "La Copla. Her own name is pure spanish folk,it runs in her blood stream.In this recording she demonstrates once again that she's the one and only"Queen of Spanish Folk"(La Copla).

Passion on Platinum / Pasion en el Platino.......1999-12-25

Isabel Pantoja is one of the premier artists of the now revitalized "Copla" style of music from Andalucia, Spain. It is a Spanish "blues" and she is the Spanish equivalent of a Koko Taylor. Isabel puts on a performance equal to none, her fire and passion will leave you energized. It helps if you speak Spanish, the words are sheer poetry./// Isabel Pantoja es una de los premier artistas de la "copla" en el mundo. La Copla viene de Andalusia, Espana y es los "blues" de Espana, habla de los experencias fuertes de la vida. Ella canta con un pasion que va a contaminarte. No puedes escuchar este disco sin sentir este pasion, chispa y orgullo de los Espanoles.

Fine studio-made "L'elisir" with a Grand Old Man conducting.......2007-01-29

SOURCE: Studio production recorded in August 1958 at La Scala in Milan.

SOUND: Perfectly acceptable early analogue stereo. The digital remastering of 1993 is generally satisfactory, making this one of the more successful offerings from the EMI in that era.

CAST: Adina, a prosperous country landowner who is flirtatious, flighty and a bit pig-headed - Rosanna Carteri (soprano); Nemorino, a country bumpkin and prize chump who is hopelessly in love with Adina - Luigi Alva (tenor); Belcore, a sergeant in a regiment encamped near Adina's farm who is hopelessly in love with ... Belcore but also determined to marry Adina - Rolando Panerai (baritone); Doctor Dulcamara, a traveling quack, a purveyor of bogus nostrums and fake love potions who is in love with money ... and his next meal - Giuseppe Taddei (baritone); Gianetta, a country girl who is not entirely averse to snagging a wealthy husband - Angela Vercelli (mezzo-soprano). CONDUCTOR: Tullio Serafin with the Orchestra e Coro del Teatro alla Scala, Milano.

DOCUMENTATION: Libretto in Italian and English. Brief history of the opera and summary of the plot that ties into the CD tracks. Track list with timings.

TEXT: This recording offers the standard, stage-proven version of "L'elisir" that was in use when it was recorded. In the Nineteenth Century, before Verdi came close to eliminating the practice in Italy, operas were expanded, cut and reshaped at the whim of impresarios, based on what their ticket-buying audiences wanted or were accustomed to. This led to variant editions and alternative versions, sometimes arising from the egos of local singers and more often from their technical limitations. My test for a performance is not whether it is "complete" but whether it works. This performance works.

COMMENTARY: "L'elisir d'amore" is one of the many operas that can be traced back to that ubiquitous hack of all seasons, Eugene Scribe. Scribe's original libretto, "Le philtre," had been set to music by Auber in 1831, to no particular effect. In 1832, Donizetti needed a libretto on short notice. His librettist, Felice Romani, knew a good thing when he could steal it. He quickly paraphrased "Le philtre" into Italian doggerel as "L'elisir d'amore." Donizetti devoted a long time--a whole month!--to setting the words to music. "L'elisir d'amore" opened at La Scala in May 1832. It enjoyed a triumph. Unlike most bel canto operas, "L'elisir d'amore" never faded away. It has held its position in the standard operatic repertory from the night it opened.

Tullio Serafin (1878-1968) was one of the Grand Old Men among Italian conductors. Arturo Toscanini hired him to be an assistant conductor at La Scala in 1898. He became principal conductor there in 1909. In the 1920s and 30s he was an important conductor at the Metropolitan in New York. He was particularly skilled at developing the careers of great singers. Before World War II he guided Rosa Ponselle on her path to superstardom. After the war he oversaw the transformation of Maria Callas from Wagnerian to bel canto soprano and was her collaborator in her ascent to the status of "La Divina." (The date when Callas threw him aside in a dispute over a recording of "La Traviata" is as good as any to mark the beginning of her fall.) He was also important to the early career of Joan Sutherland. Serafin was one of the great expanders of the operatic repertory, both in premiering new works and in reviving faded ones. He is the central figure in the mid-Twentieth Century revival of bel canto and the successful re-entry of many bel canto operas into the standard repertory.

With regard to this recording, some have complained that the eighty year-old Serafin had slowed down, but no-one could possibly deny his deep feeling for and understanding of the opera. For my own part, while I have heard some parts of "L'elisir" go faster, I am not entirely convinced that I have heard them sound better for it.

The two best known names in this strong cast are the baritones, Rolando Panerai and Giuseppe Taddei. Panerai is excellent as that preening military man, Sergeant Belcore. Taddei is even better as that quick-witted quack, Doctor Dulcamara. Nine years later he would sing Belcore in a fabulous live performance with Scotto and Bergonzi at the Florence May Festival (available from Opera d'Oro), but here Taddei clearly demonstrates that he was born to be an unmitigated purveyor of phoney love potions.

Rosanna Carteri is very good, a little heftier in voice than other famous Adinas but still very sound, very earthy. Luigi Alva is lighter in voice than Pavarotti and Bergonzi, two famous recorded Nemorinos, although heavier than the typical ultra-light bel canto so-called "specialists" of today. If he is less exciting than Pavarotti and Bergonzi he is almost certainly closer to the kind of tenor that Donizetti had in mind when he wrote the piece. All things considered, Alva is very satisfying as that love-sick goof Nemorino. Angela Vercelli is competent in the small part of Gianetta.

This is not the best-known "L'elisir" but it is a well-considered and authentic, very Italianate performance from beginning to end.

I give five stars for the grand old geezer's final go at a great operatic comedy.

Italian opera as it used to be - thank goodness!.......2006-05-21

This is a wonderful Elixir of Love. Anyone buying it must be aware that the old traditional cuts are followed to the T. This means there is one whopping cut in act two and lots of other verses, measures, and phrases cut. But the performance is nearly definitive.
Luigi Alva may have done lots of coloratura tenor roles on recordings, but Nemorino fits his voice so beautifully, and his "Una furtiva" is enough to make you weep. Adina is Rosanna Carteri, a highly underrated soprano from the 50s. Rolando Panerai isn't subtle as Belcore (the character doesn't warrant it), but he sings it very well. Giuseppe Taddei IS Dulcamara. (He also recorded Belcore, but that's not his role.) He relishes every word of the Italian, and he has just the right weight in his voice to make you love the character. Serafin conducts with a total understanding of the score. Unlike the Alagna/Gheorghiu/ Pido recording, which is complete, this one takes no alternate versions of arias, and it takes enough time for the music to sing. Pido conducts as if this was Rossini and thus has no heart. This would be 5 stars plus if only it had no cuts.

A(lfano) to Z(andonai). Great Olivero--terrible sound.......2004-10-14

Source: This appears to be an RAI broadcast from Turin dating from October 22, 1971, coupled with hefty chunks of a "Francesca da Rimini" from Milan, June 4, 1959.

Sound: The sad news -- for a recording made in 1971, this is a disgrace. Even considering that it is taken from a live performance, it is still a disgrace. "Risurrezione" sounds as though it were recorded from a clapped-out AM radio for a second-rate eight-track machine. The live audience is well-disciplined and scatters only a few coughs. "Francesco da Rimini" is slightly better recorded--very slightly better. Whoever recorded F da R contrived the extraordinary feat of making Mario del Monaco's foghorn voice sound small and tentative.

Format: Disc 1, Acts I, II and III, 25 tracks, 67m:36s. Disc 2, Act III (conclusion) and Act IV, 18 tracks, plus "Francesca da Rimini," 7 tracks, 66m:38s.

Documentation: No libretto. Summary of the plot is confined to a single paragraph. Brief verbal sketches are provided for Alfano, the opera and Magda Olivero. The track lists identifies the characters who are singing and shows timings.

A single hearing of "Risurrezione" is sufficient to establish that Franco Alfano had the verismo style down cold. The opera is absolutely at home with "Cavalleria Rusticana," "Pagliacci," "Andrea Chenier" and "Tosca." But it is just a little late, just behind the crest of the verismo wave, so to speak. Alfano was a fine craftsman with every tool in the verismo kit, lacking only the ability to craft a hit tune.

"Risurrezione" is based on Tolstoy's 1900 novel, "Resurrection." Despite that blue-blooded literary ancestry, Alfano's version is chock-full of good, low-down, Italianate emotion. For once, Alfano managed to avoid the weak endings that plague "Turandot" and "Cyrano." The opera ends with full-throttle exchanges between the tenor and the soprano that surely would work up any audience.

The unquestioned star of this recording is that prima donna assoluta, Magda Olivero. Would that she were better recorded! Poor as the recording quality is, the youthful Olivero (she was only about sixty at the time) sounds wonderful.

The tenor, Giuseppe Gismondo was a real surprise to me. He sings with a big, powerful, dark voice. As far as I can gather, he sang extensively with the second-tier opera companies in the US during the 1960s. Why he is not better known puzzles me.

Disc 2 is filled out with about twenty minutes of duets from "Francesca da Rimini," featuring Olivero and del Monaco. Olivero, naturally, is terrific. Del Monaco was probably singing quite well, too, but the recording is singularly unflattering to his big voice.

This is a hard one to call. The opera is pretty good. Olivero is always a treat and Gismondo is a pleasing surprise. But the sound is truly wretched--three stars.

Too bad.

A Follow-up Note--September 2005.

This performance is available from Opera d'Oro in markedly better sound, although without the Zandonai excerpts.

Alfano's big hit..........2003-08-17

"Risurrezione" was a work of Alfano's youth. He was but 29 when the work premiered in 1904. It was a hit, and was soon being performed at opera houses around the world, becoming a staple of Mary Garden's repertoire in Paris and Chicago, and reaching it's 1000th Italian performance in 1951. "Risurrezione" contains only hints of the complex, impressionist style of Alfano's maturity. It is flooded with the style of Alfano's idol Puccini, though Tolstoy's story has a more spiritual angle to it than Puccini's operas tend to have.

The structure of the opera is splendidly balanced and concise, with offstage choruses, symphonic interludes, and beautiful arias aplenty. The arias deserve special recognition. The famous "Dio Pietoso", a favorite of Garden's, is beautiful and emotional, but it's the love music, along with the two arias sung by the male characters that impressed me the most. Dimitri's "Piangi, si, piangi", and Simonson's third act aria are both filled with not only beauty, but an earnest dignity, that can't help but move the heart.

The character of Katiusha was a great favorite of many verismo sopranos, because there's such a variety of characters in the one. In the first act, she's a naive girl, in the second a disallusioned outcast. By act III, she's become a degraded, souless prisoner, hard drinking and chain smoking. But in the final act she's had a rebirth...the "Resurrection" of the title, and is strong enough to choose service to humanity over marrying the prince of her dreams, heart breaking as it is for her, and for us.

This performance showcases an array of splendid singers--first and formost the legendary Magda Olivero, who was no spring chicken when this recording was made in 1971. But it was never sheer vocal beauty that set her apart, but rather her amazing dramatic instincts, which are always dead on. The Simonson is also really great. There's recently been a new recording of "Risurrezione" released on the Accord label, and available from Amazon's British sister site. It has the advantage of fat modern sound, which far better showcases Alfano's splendid orchestration. It also has a booklet with complete notes and libretto with translation, which this release lacks. But the singers suffer by comparison. Denia Mazzola has a more beautiful voice, but can't compare with Olivero in interpretation, and the new Simonson lacks the power and dignity of the one on the Gala set. My recommendation--buy both.

Now let's see recordings of other Alfano operas..."L'ombra di Don Giovanni", "Madonna Imperia", "Il Dottor Antonio", etc., etc. Even a modern recording of "Sakuntala" would be a blessing!

Fleta and the Spanish repertoire.......2000-10-06

Although the international career of the Spanish tenor Miguel Fleta (1893-1938) was relatively brief (ten years or so), he was quite a hit in his time. Not only did he phenomenally succesfully perform in many important opera houses, he was also the creator of the role of Calaf in Puccini's opera 'Turandot' and thus the first tenor to sing the now so famous 'Nessun dorma'.

The selections on this CD, most of them of arias and ensembles from 'zarzuelas' recorded between 1927 and 1931, used to be some of my great favorites during the LP era, and I'm so glad I've found them again now on disc. They show Fleta's almost hypnotic use of legato, masculinity of tone and expression, and quite considerable dash. He was always able to apply rubati with amazing swellings and diminuendos all over the place and make, as it were, time stand still and yet keep the music moving forward. It seems to me that in the Spanish repertoire as found on this disc he was even more persuasive in doing just that. Just listen to the numbers (six total) from Arrieta's very melodious zarzuela 'Marina' wherein he is joined by several Spanish colleagues, notably Emilio Sagi-Barba, in duets, trios, a quartet, etc., and you just wish (I do, that's for sure) they had recorded it complete.

I find the other selections equally engaging. I must say that even though I hardly understand any Spanish, I feel drawn in every time I hear him sing these arias and songs. The very last number on this CD is actually not Spanish at all, although sung in that language. It is the famous Marseillaise, sung with chorus and quite stirringly so!

At all times Fleta seemed to be capable of creating a different mood for anything he sang, whether it was martial, tender, exuberant, nostalgic, or what have you. The voice must have been immensely powerful, yet he could come round with the most incredible pianissimi you ever want to hear. His vocal enunciation and style may not be 'politically correct' in the more streamlined times we live in today, but, when used with so much conviction and artistry, I can relish it any day. I'm listening to it now.
