Glorious Italian Renaissance Reissue.......2006-04-14

Really happy to have found and purchased this reissue on Sony classical of "Gesualdo- highlights of his Madrigals, Galliards, Canzonettas". Features beautiful remastered performances in the early opera style(Opera was born in the mid to late Renaissance), with string instrumental interludes. May seem somewhat "sedate" to modern early music listeners, but I find it adds to it's charm- perfect background music for reading or relaxing. If you've ever seen "The Agony & The Estasy" (Michalangelo-Charlton Heston) similar music is performed during a banquet scene. 5 stars.

Why was this reissued?.......2005-12-09

Luckily, I only blew about seven bucks on this CD. I can't figure out why this was reissued, although it probably has to do the the big names involved. The vocal performances are not only rough around the edges, but rather under-characterized. But they are spectacular compared with the string performances, which can be described as amateurish at best.

I will not be buying this disk.......2005-01-09

These singers come from the grand opera tradition and they do not seem to have been able to adapt their voices to the stylistic rigours needed to perform Gesualdo's works. The reviewers who stated that the tuning is poor, are correct. We actually listened to these first few bars with the score in hand, and it was totally obvious that the pitch, intonation and timing was very poor.

I'm sorry, but even by chromatic standards it's out of tune........2001-11-20

Yes, these performances are mostly _really_ out of tune even considering the chromatic adventures of Gesualdo. Frankly I'd rather hear other performances, though I haven't seen lots of other Gesualdo collections out there. This is a nice historical recording and has a broad range of Gesualdo's works, so it still might be worthwhile.

The chromatic nature of Gesualdo's music is even more shocking when performed in tune.

Wonderful!.......2001-09-06

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this recording was available on CD... I used to have it on vinyl 25 years ago when I was in college, and nearly wore it out. (In fact, I think I did replace it at least once!)

This is wonderful music, lovingly performed. I agree, as an earlier reviewer complains, that the singers are occasionally not in tune, but ... does one want to complain that Casals is not worth listening to because he couldn't play in tune? I think our ears in this day and age have become spoiled by over-edited and electronically perfected recordings. This recording is thrilling and delightful for precisely the reason that these great singers (look at the names!) got together to record some excellent 5-part vocal music, and did not (obviously) go back and re-record every little moment that didn't go smoothly. It feels much like attending a live performance.

The music of Gesualdo is extraordinary in it's own right, of course, with harmonies that presage Wagner a couple of hundred years ahead of schedule. This recording, with solo voices on each of the 5 parts, let's us really hear all the subtleties of the intricate voice leading that Gesualdo accomplishes.

Extremely fine singing, well-recorded........2006-12-01

In the first track you know you are in for a treat with this disc.
Kiehr's soprano voice is just right for this repertoire: Appropriately
light yet full of color, with exquisite control and just the right
amount of vibrato (i.e. not too much, but enough to feel relaxed).
You will smile when listening to this disc.

Bass-baritone MacLeod is an ample match to Kiehr, and indeed the blend
between the two singers is ideal. The instrumental accompaniment is
sprightly and clean, but so well recorded that one does not sense any
unpleasant edge to the sound. Special mention must be made of the very
fine lute playing here, and it's luscious blend with Kiehr's enchanting
voice.

This is not earth-shaking music. It's just fun, beautiful, and extremely
well-performed and well-recorded. Heartily recommended.

Love songs from a talented seventeen year old.......1998-12-14

These Canzonette are Monteverdi's earliest secular works. His previous two collections having been church music; the Sacrae cantiunculae for 3 voices of 1582, and the Madrigali spirituali a 4 of 1583. These are lightweight works, as you would expect, but not childish by any means. Monteverdi is already showing artful word play, and the thin booklet gives a few examples. What it doesn't give, which is unforgiveable, is texts - although the canzonette are by minor poets the words are still the whole point here, and the listener's Italian will need to be pretty fluent to pick up what the composer is saying in the interplay between lyric and music. As a consolation this CD is packed to the limit; Playing time 78'01.

Catley: A Fine British Coloratura Soprano.......2000-01-07

Gwen Catley (1906-1996) was an extremely gifted British-born soprano who had unique talent in using the highest area of her voice, though the entire range is pure, liquid, and even. Hers is not as light a coloratura--nor as refined--as the late Rita Streich's, nor nearly as secure as Amelita Galli-Curci's. That said, hers is still a voice you will find appealing in each of these 19 selections, all remastered by Michael J. Dutton, who provides some of the finest 78-rpm transfers I have heard, which can only be described as being truly honest transfers. The disc offers a good cross section of the gems of the coloratura soprano repertoire from operas by Mozart, Rossini, Verdi, Gounod, Thomas, Bizet, Offenbach, and Meyerbeer. When I consider an album of this nature, it is the SONG literature that I find of the greatest appeal, only because so much of this literature is not performed frequently today. This disc offers a number of the Galli-Curci-type items, such as Bishop's Lo, Here the Gentle Lark, and The Pretty Mocking Bird, and an especially fine Nightingale and Rose from Saint-Saens' Parysatis, which for me is the winner in this collection. The legendary pianist, Gerald Moore, accompanies Miss Catley in four selections while the remainder are with orchestral accompaniment by three well respected conductors. Alan Blyth supplies his usual informative, interesting notes. If one wishes to have a really outstanding overview of this highly lauded English artist, I would recommend this one wholeheartedly. LGH
