Il Ritorno D'Ulisse in Patria

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Claudio Monteverdi's Il Ritorno d'Ulisse ("The Return of Ulysses") is more difficult to bring off on record than the more famous L'Orfeo. Whereas the latter has a virtuoso centerpiece aria, memorable choruses, and a large, colorful orchestra, Ulisse survives with only the characters' vocal parts notated over basso continuo (a bass line over which chordal instruments improvise an accompaniment); the choruses and the instrumental interludes indicated in the libretto are missing. Most conductors reviving Ulisse today orchestrate the score--René Jacobs, for example, not only imported sinfonias from other works, but composed extensive parts for violins, cornets, etc., to accompany the singers. Gabriel Garrido has added instrumental pieces and adapted madrigals for the choruses to accommodate the full libretto, but he leaves the accompanying of the soloists to his 10 splendid continuo players. Those soloists are outstanding, with pleasing voices, excellent diction, and solid Monteverdian style. Most crucially, Garrido and his cast show a unerring sense of when to speed through recitative as if it were conversation, when to linger over the notes, and when to employ a solid rhythmic pulse. Jacobs's version may have more theatrical excitement, but Garrido makes more beautiful music--and, ultimately, more convincing drama. --Matthew Westphal --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Baroque ensemble Il Giardino Armonico take a step away from Bach, Biber, and Vivaldi to create this intriguing disc of lesser-heard 17th century compositions from Italy. These short instrumental pieces--Dario Castello's Sonata IV is the longest, at over seven minutes, while Monteverdi's Sinfonia de Il ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria clocks in at under a minute--were all composed during the era of Monteverdi's operatic output, and they each seem to mimic the drama and intonation of the human voice. But the young ensemble's creative programming doesn't stop in the selection of compositions. This disc seamlessly melds Tarquino Merula's multilayered Ciaccona to a harpsichord improvisation (there are also wonderful improvisations for solo lute and violin scattered about the disc). From the jazzy opening of Uccellini's weird Aria sopra "la Bergamasca" for flute, cello, harp, and citerone to the slow-paced melancholy of Giovanni Battista Riccio's Sonata a 4, there's a treasure trove of great Baroque music here. These left-field works sound completely fresh and vibrant, a testament both to the composers and the sprightly playing of Il Giardino Armonico. Highly recommended. --Jason Verlinde

Exceptional recording - full marks to all concerned.......2003-08-11

Do not listen to any unfavourable reviews of this album - it is simply one of the best of its kind.
The violin, recorder, cornett, mute cornett, dulcian,lute, harpsichord and cello playing is first rate, imaginative and daring. All of the music on this recording is wonderfully alive and vibrant. The violin playing is particularly good and the two mute cornetts and dulcians in the Riccio Sonata A 4 make soft and sensual sounds - unlike anything you'll ever hear from later Baroque music.

Every lover of Early Baroque instrumental music should investigate this fabulous disc.

Luminous, radiant and colourful !!!.......2003-07-20

I can't understand the one star critic made by "a music fan from Italy". He said and I quote : " Every piece of music can become banal in the hands of "Il giardino armonico".

I am surely dreaming.

All the recording by this little ensemble are far away from banality. Sometimes deranging and extravagant, they gave to the listener real pleasure because they are playing without any formal constraint. The contrast and the diversity that whe can heared in their recording is the main mark identification of their ORIGINALITY.

Enrico Onofri is brilliant as usual on the violin. All the musicians plays with vigour.

Of couse, this is quiet music. Don't wait for little tornado like it was the case in the "Seasons" or in "La Notte". This is almost charming music with some moments of great intensity.

I owned already most of the music recorded there with "La sonatori de la Gioisa Marca"( two albums on Divox Antiqua- with bad sound- sold at high prices with a lot of rewards from the press...)

Nevertheless, I prefer this recording. Sound is suberb and the music is played by very talentuous musicians. From my heart, 5 stars.

bad taste.......2003-02-10

Every piece of music can become banal in the hands of "Il giardino armonico". We already know all the cheap tricks that made this group famous: sudden dynamics changes, bizarre rhythmical choices & tempos, and ugly sounds in search of an improbable Italian early baroque authenticity. I would like to point out here the very poor conception of phrasing shown by the violin and recorder, very short phrases without any idea of the piece as a whole, with a particular attention given to frequents distasteful effects, as for example in the Cima sonata (recorder and BC), where every cadence resolution is preceded by a disturbing interruption (ups, I got there too early), and in the unnecessary display of aimless virtuosity in Rognoni's variation of "vestiva I colli", knowing well the piece I have to point out I'm deeply conviced that the tempo should be slower and the overal caracter very melancolic. The violin playing is particularly weak, from a sound production point of view, please notice the trembling pianissimos, and the lack of colors in the sound itself and constant interruption of the melodic line (ups the jumping bow its alive!) . A high peak of poor taste in cd is Ucellini's La Bergamasca, where once again we are just abused with this kind of annoying cartoon music. The only good things I can say about the cd are about the fine playing of the cornettos (Jean Tubèry,Gebhard David), dulcian (alberto Guerra), and viola da gamba (Vittorio Ghielmi), so bad that the main part of the group (recorder,violin, lute) didn't listen to them, may be they would had learn something.

Magnificent, the arrangement and interpretation! Italy and the 'Seicento' is arising. I recommend it for times with a glimpse of happiness.

Amazon.com essential recording

Monteverdi's late operas The Return of Ulysses and The Coronation of Poppea are surprisingly unlike the more familiar L'Orfeo. The last, written for the Mantuan court, is really more lavish pageant (with appropriately lavish orchestra) than serious drama; Ulysses and Poppea, written for commercial Venetian opera houses, have librettos of real literary and dramatic merit--and (according to surviving manuscripts) no instruments other than basso continuo. (The typical Venetian "pit orchestra" of the 1640s had only bass viol and a few harpsichords and lutes, with perhaps two violins playing semi-improvised parts.) Most modern conductors reviving Ulysses and Poppea have felt the need to add instrumental parts--to make the operas, in effect, more like L'Orfeo. René Jacobs is no exception: not only has he imported instrumental interludes from other Monteverdi works, he has composed extensive parts for cornetts, violins, and recorders to accompany the singers and assigned one tenor role (Telemachus) to a soprano. Jacobs's booklet notes are admirably frank about his having done all this basically because he likes it that way. This sort of thing would not be tolerated with, say, Otello or Parsifal, but never mind--the results may not be pure(-ist) Monteverdi, but they're effective, even exciting, on their own terms. In the title role, tenor Christoph Prégardien is believably heroic, yet totally comfortable with Monteverdian style; his Penelope, contralto Bernarda Fink, has (as do several other members of the cast) a legato vocal technique and a vibrato that would sound more at home in Mozart--yet she never overwhelms the music and acts her part with real commitment. Other standouts in the cast include Guy de Mey as the gluttonous Irus and, as the goddess Minerva, "La Divina" Lorraine Hunt. This recording grew directly out of a staged production--and it shows: whatever its conceptual flaws, this is the most dramatically compelling recording of a Monteverdi opera I've ever encountered. --Matthew Westphal

Stunning Spectacular Realization of one of Opera's Monuments.......2003-03-14

I simply cannot fault this performance and recommend it for every well-assembled opera collection. To get the matter of authenticity out of the way ... I'm no expert but I understand that the transmitted score is barely more than a basso continuo and melody line. How to "interpret" that in performance is a matter of both scholarship and artistry. Jacobs's approach is quite rich--fleshing out the strings and keyboard with winds, lutes, and percussion--and he goes into a defense of it in the liner notes. To me, the result speaks for itself. All embellishment is to brilliant and revelatory effect, and sounds completely authentic, not artificially updated. I believe he uses harpsichord for the scenes among mortals and organ for scenes with deities.

The first strains of the opening sinfonia speak the music of immortality. Although I like when Human Frailty is sung by the Ulisse, the conceit is more impressive on stage. It's more typical to use a countertenor, and Dominique Visse sounds the right note here. Pacing and performance throughout the prologue are well-judged, and the concluding trio with Amor, Tempo, and Fortuna is satisfying.

Monteverdi's laments are usually the centerpiece of the work, but here he daringly begins with Penelope's extended monologue right at the opening of Act I. It is a masterpiece of declamatory writing on a level with the "Ritorno Vincitor" of Verdi's Aida. Bernarda Fink is searing in her disconsolation, it is a genuine and riveting tour de force.

And the rest of the performance manages to live up to the strength of its start. Everything is perfectly captured ... the glacial sinfonia that depicts the Phaeacians' ship turning to stone, the madrigalesque chatterings of the Proci (suitors), and especially the virile and energetic Ulisse of Christoph Prégardien.

One of the beauties of this opera is that the libretto is well-crafted, dramatically sound, and nobly poetic. It is much more than a peg on which to hang the music.

I urge lovers of opera, the human voice, and the human spirit to take up this CD. The story itself is timeless, its retelling by the librettist Bodoaro vivid and touching, Monteverdi's music supreme, and Jacobs's realization of it a worthy vehicle of all these qualities.

Best of the three.......2001-08-25

Of the three surviving operas by Monteverdi,I wonder why Ulisee is not the preferred for purposes of the occasional production (a few times a year in various USA opera houses) that Monteverdi receives. Compared to his "Orfeo" and "Coronation", the melodic content is higher in Ulisee, as is the mix of characters and Rene Jacobs' orchestration. Much richer and complex in every way than than than the Orfeo theme. I even have come to prefer it even to the psychologically subtle but still restrained "Coronation". Contains the widest palette of Baroque opera techniques. This is an excellent recording with superior notes,sound recording and performers. A great example of the earliest Opera that will still sound like Opera to those raised on Verdi. Well worth owning.

Who you callin' Fink?.......2001-07-11

I've always thought Bernarda Fink was a fabulous singer, but I never realized that she composed "Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria"! For going on four centuries, Claudio Monteverdi has unfairly copped the credit, and it's about time justice was done.

missing the leppard, von stade, stilwell performance.......2001-05-06

While performances of the monteverdi operas by harnoncourt and jacobs are fine and enjoyable, i still miss quite heartfully the cbs masterworks recording of 'ritorno' by leppard that he made in 1980 with frederica von stade and richard stilwell and the london philharmonic/glyndebourne festival.

It was truly a gorgeous performance with beautiful singing, particularly by von stade, but also throughout the cast, including a beautifully performed ulisse by stilwell. Also to be noted in the cast was anne murray as minerva, and a shining keith lewis as giove. The orchestra is clean, tight, and judiciously utilized by leppard, but under his interpretation, leaves behind the spareness of historical performances, which while beautiful, can tend toward anemia, both vocally and instrumentally, when conductors, and performers, forget that while mathematics and music theory are quite similar in their constructs, organizing principles, and tools; and a score is a great proven theorem, music is always more than sound.

I don't know if this recording has ever been released on cd, at least i've never been able to find it. It's absence is a hole in the classical recording list transferred to cd. I miss it.

Excellent.......1999-04-04

This is a very solid performance, with no noticeably weak links. If you like early opera you will definitely enjoy this. There is a lot of recitative, but with good characterization it is not boring. The final duet is glorious.
