Customer Reviews of Donizetti: L'elisir d'Amore
Magnificent Performance!!!!! Wow! What a performance!! Bergonzi is undoubtedly the finest Nemorino of all time! His legato line and superb phrasing are perfect in this role, from his entrance on Quanto e' Belle to the last note of the opera. If you haven't heard Carlo Bergonzi sing "Una Furtive Lagrima", you simply have not lived (Bergonzi even surpasses Pavarotti in this performance). Scotto also sings in this live performance like you've never heard her before or since. She sounds like an angel on this recording. Other singers of exceptional note in this performance are Carlo Cava as Dulcamara and Guiseppe Taddei as Belcore. So, if you are a fan of Bergonzi, of Scotto, or just great singing, you simply MUST buy this recording and at the super bargain price of $8.97, you can't resist. This is the finest performance of L'Elisir D'Amore I've ever heard.
It's worth three times its actual price...
Ever sit back and close your eyes and ponder: what is opera? what is its purpose? why do they sing 'that way?' and why is it considered to be high art? Well, to answer those bursting questions, Donizetti's masterpiece, "L'Elisir d'Amore" (or "The Elixir of Love"), is available in this stupendous live recording with the Orchestra e Coro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino conducted by Gianandrea Gavazzeni and featuring (are you ready for this?!): Renata Scotto, Carlo Bergonzi, Giuseppe Taddei, Carlo Cava, and Renza Jotti. It's a marvelous cast, perfect in this delightful opera that Sir Denis Forman called "A little miracle" and Pavarotti praised as his favorite. How can you ignore this milestone of operatic history at such a great price? Impossible. Give in, drink up!
Sparkling and romantic as the Elixir of Love must be!
This is one of the greatest Florence May Festival performances and should be in every opera collection. The experienced Gavazzeni, a maestro of the traditional Italian school of conducting, leads a superb cast and creates an amusing yet warm Elisir.
Bergonzi is the most characterful and romantic Nemorino ever! It's really unbelievable how much feeling and spirit he infuses in his singing without ever reducing its musical quality! I know no other singer - male or female - who ever achieved such level of musicality. He truly sounds like the young bumpkin! The most idiomatic and tender Una furtiva lagrima you will ever hear, is only one highlight of his performance.
Equally inspired is Renata Scotto's Adina and though I have never warmed up to her slightly metallic sound, I recognise her greatness. You won't find a more capricious Adina! Scotto moreover has all the abilities to shine and excite in the coloratura parts. Her big aria is a showstopper! Taddei's strong and suave Belcore is one of the best on records while Cava's funny Duclamara gets better and better as the show goes on. Even Giannetta is wonderfully performed by Renza Jotti.
It's not only the individual performances that are perfect but there is so much chemistry between the artists in the duets, the recitatives and ensembles. This is what truly makes this Elisir stand out as the best ever! A definite, intoxicating recommendation!
