Farinelli from heaven
[…] he really gets into trouble. Although he displays an enviable enthusiasm, there is entirely too much screaming and scooping. Much has been made of Hansen’s including the original, less demanding version of the famous Son qual nave by Farinelli’s brother; it’s good to have it recorded and happily it avoids turning into the mess that “Talor che irato e il vento” from Leo’s Andromaca becomes. Mercifully nothing on Rivals descends to the level of Jörg Waschinski’s performances on his CD of music composed by Farinelli; the music is occasionally fascinating but the singing is truly awful. One of the least satisfactory aspects of Rivals is its orchestra, the Academia Montis Regalis conducted from the harpsichord by its director Alessando De Marchi. For some reason, despite a full complement of winds and brass, there are just five string players, one per part. The orchestral sound seemed scrawny when I first […]

Counter attack
[…] show at Carnegie Hall’s legendary Semele from Kathleen Battle, Marilyn Horne, Rockwell Blake and Samuel Ramey and then dominated Peter Sellars’s revelatory Giulio Cesare which reconceived his title character as a chilling yet romantic neo-Nixonian American President. In the meantime the male sopranos (as opposed to male alto, sometimes an alternate name for countertenor) occasionally surfaced beginning with American Randall Wong and Greek Aris Cristofellis. Still relatively rare, there are several currently active, including Jörg Waschinski (who just released a CD of music composed by the castrato Farinelli) and Jacek Laszczkowski who also sings as a tenor and whose CD of music by Cesti includes him singing soprano-tenor duets with himself! And the new Naïve recording of Vivaldi’s Teuzzone stars the young Italian sopranist Paolo Lopez in the title role. Yet that important push into the mainstream continues to assure Daniels and Scholl primacy, as their Met prominence this season […]
