Label: BONGIOVANNI DVD 20003 Our Price: $33.00 Quantity in Basket: none Gustavo Porta; Franco Vassallo; Adriana Damato; Enrico Giuseppe Lori Coro del Teatro Municipale di Piacenza Orchestra Sinfonica della Fondazinoe Toscanini/Pier Giorgio Morandi Live recording: Teatro Muncipale di Piacenza, November 2003 NTSC All Region; Stereo, Dolby 5.1; 120 mins Verdi returned to many of his scores after they had been premiered and it is well-known that Macbeth, Simon Boccanegra, La forza del destino and Don Carlos were thoroughly revised years after their debuts. La Traviata and Falstaff were modified to a lesser extent, although Verdi carried out these changes before his original version could make its mark in the opera houses of Europe. And while they were not permanent, major changes were made to Otello (a remake of the grande concertato in Act III),to Aida (an attempt to precede the opera with a large-scale Sinfonia), to Il Trovatore (Verdi added dance numbers for Paris) and to Rigoletto (the Paris version has an aria for Maddalena). Finally, Verdi overhauled two operas so radically that he even changed their titles and part of the plot. Thus I Lombardi alla Prima Crociata became Jérusalem in French and Stiffelio was turned into Aroldo. |

Label: BONGIOVANNI DVD 20004 Our Price: $33.00 Quantity in Basket: none Gezim Mishketa; Elisaveta Martyrosian; Enrica Fabbri; Filippo Adami; Maurizio Lo Piccolo; Omar Montanari; Daivde Rocca; Massimo Pagnoni; Asia D’Arcangelo; Fabio Vichi Orchestra Sinfonica Carlo Coccia Fabrizio Dorsi/Rosetta Cucchi, directors NTSC All Region; Stereo, Dolby 5.1 Subtitles: Italian, English, Japanese Running time: 85 minutes ARRIGHETTO, A SENTIMENTAL FARCE Madama Beritola, finding two goats on an island, having lost two sons goes to the Lunigiana: there one of her sons is with her Master and he sleeps with his daughter and is put in prison. Cicilia rebelling against king Carlo and the son recognized by the mother, marries the Master’s daughter, and finding his brother, in grand style they return. (Giovanni Boccaccio, Decameron, second day, sixth novella). Thus begins the Story of the novella from which Angelo Anelli tells us he took his libretto. It is the eternal edifying topos He who suffers may hope. Often in the past this Lombard poet as others before him had considered Boccaccio’s novelle as a mine from which to “extract subjects” in alternative to the noble French theatre, at the time much in vogue for this use. Suffice one title as example: Griselda, an oppressed married woman whose virtue finally triumphs over fate, taken from Apostolo Zeno but rewritten by Anelli in 1793. Obviously the story is semi-serious, even larmoyante, a genre halfway between tragic, comic and pathetic which at that time had become a favorite with audiences. It is precisely what the author so eloquently wrote down on the title page of the score: a “sentimental farce”. |

Label: BONGIOVANNI DVD 20009 Our Price: $33.00 Quantity in Basket: none Mirko Guadagnini; Donato Di Gioia; Sgefania Donzelli; Maurizio Lo Piccolo; Paolo Bordogna; Camillo Facchino; Graziano De Pace; Roberto Recchia Orchestra da Camera del Giovanni Paisiello Festival/Giovanni Di Stefano Luigi Scoglio, scenes and costumes Rosetta Cucchi, director Live recording: Teatro Orfeo di Taranto, November 23 & 25, 2005 NTSC All Region; 5.1; Subtitled in Italian & English; Stereo 5.1 Written by Giovanni Paisiello during his lengthy stay at the court of Catherine II, the opera was an enormous success and was still very famous at the time of the composer’s death the same year of Rossini’s Barbiere debut, strongly opposed by many who considered the work of the upstart to be a sacrilegious attack on the memory of Paisiello. The reductive transposition for libretto – probably the work of Giuseppe Petrosellini – of the play “Le barbier de Séville” by Pierre-Augustin de Beaurmarchais, successfully presented in St. Petersburg a few years earlier, determined the international success of the subject: the second text of the French trilogy gained the attention of Mozart, who proposed it to Da Ponte for Le nozze di Figaro (1786). For the première a first-class cast was hired (for the part of Almaviva Guglielmo Jermolli was called directly from Esterhàza), and then performed throughout Europe, in Vienna in two languages and in five different theatres, parodied and translated, reduced to three acts by Giambattista Lorenzi for the Naples edition of 1787 (with new pieces written by Paisiello): the opera carried Paisiello’s already consistent popularity to stratospheric heights. The score contains a series of truly beautiful pieces: among its many arias the ones for Rosina are especially notable, where the sentimental character of the noble but unhappy girl is constantly underlined by the warm tones of the woodwinds, both in her introductory cavatina (“Lode al ciel”), where the flute answers her composed lament with elegiac tones and in the grandiose “Già riede primavera”, where clarinet and bassoon alternate expressions of idyllic sweetness with affliction. The arias of the other protagonists are just as characteristic, for instance the count’s serenade with mandolin (“Saper bramate”), Bartolo’s aria with many comical melodic-rhythmic elements or the aria of the “calunnia” where a congenial state of agitation in the orchestra already prefigures Rossini. The ensemble pieces are also notable, such as the frenetic duet Bartolo-Rosina, developing unexpectedly directly from her cavatina; the “Don Basilio” quintet, with a grandiose form unsurpassed even by Mozart; and the trio “Ma dov’eri tu, stordito”, where yawns and sneezes are integrated into the music with boisterous comic effect, such that not even Rossini attempted to rival this famous piece. |

Fiorenza Cedolins has a voice that carries the listener back to the golden age of Belcanto, a voice that makes its mark immediately with its beautifully velvet-like, burnished timbre, with its reserves of volume and power enabling the singer to fill large opera houses and open-air arenas effortlessly, with that granite-like solid delivery in which 19th century singers were so well schooled and with its perfect ability to project out into space employing a finely-sculpted diction which is a model of clarity. Fiorenza Cedolins has a sumptuous, opulent voice recalling those primadonna sopranos of legend who could do no wrong and it is no accident that Ms. Cedolins seems heir to the demanding legacy of Renata Tebaldi, although she neither sings the same repertoire nor is she merely a modern replica. Her phrasing has a wealth of nuances and accents and the quality of her masterful vocal effects is unquestionable, yet although in these respects Fiorenza Cedolins is certainly inspired by Renata Tebaldi, she clearly sees her predecessor as something of an artistic archetype rather than a model to be slavishly imitated. All this shows that Ms. Cedolins knows how to make an intelligent choice as a result of her thorough awareness of her natural capabilites and how to use them and of the care she takes over interpretation, knowing that tastes change. |

Paolo Bordogna; David Sotgiu; Yolanda Auyanet; Domenico Colaianni; Annarita Gemmabella; Massimiliano Viapiano Coro del Teatro dell’Opera Giocosa Orchestra Sinfonica di Sanremo e Della Liguria/Giovanni Di Stefano Rosetta Cucchi, director Recorded: Teatro Chiabrera, Savona, October 12 & 14, 2007 NTSC All Region; 16:9; 5.1; Approx. 117 mins. - Subtitled in Italian, English In the introduction to his L’Opéra italien au XIXe siècle, Danièle Pistone lists what he considers the major works in the genre. For the period 1840-70, alongside Verdi's operas from Un giorno di regno to Don Carlos, Donizetti's La fille du Régiment, La favorite, Don Pasquale and Poliuto and Pacini's Saffo, this list includes the commedia lirica in three acts Tutti in maschera, the high point of the output of the composer from Verona Carlo Pedrotti. Tutti in maschera was premiered at the Teatro Nuovo in Verona on 4 November 1856, during an era when Italian operas were being turned out in a frenzy of productivity, increasingly under the influence of Verdi's rising star. |
