The Art of Gigli.......2007-03-09

After Caruso's death, Beniamino Gigli became one of the most renowned tenors in the world. His rich voice well justified his reputation. While some of his mannerisms (the little "cries" and "catches" in his voice) can be a bit overdone, they were not atypical of the time. A few reactions to specific cuts.

"Celeste Aida" from Verdi's opera is smoothly sung; his rich voice serves to good effect. As already noted, the little "cries" are unfortunate, but hardly an issue. His higher notes flow smoothly from lower ones, in a seamless fashion. It would have been nice to hear him try for the piano at the end, but he did not choose to do so. Any way you slice it, a nice version of a glorious aria.

"La donna e mobile" is taken at a rather slow pace. It is smoothly sung but does not really catch the spirit of the wretched Duke. He shows wonderful breath control. This is more a workmanlike than scintillating version. On the other hand, "Che gelida manina" is wonderful. Smooth, elegant singing. A very well done high note. An iconic version.

The twin arias from "Tosca," "Recondita armonia" and "E lucevan le stelle" are very well executed. His rendering of the final "la vita" in the latter aria is, again, noteworthy.

And now for something completely different. . . . "Funiculi funicula" is spritely sung, in good spirits, and it is a lot of fun! Most enjoyable. "O Sole mio," likewise, is well rendered. As previously noted, some "off putting" cries, but the warm, full voice more than makes up for such mannerisms. He does not overpower this song with operatic technique. The end result is most satisfying.

"La danza" befuddled the great Caruso (in his version, his breathing fell apart at one point). But not Gigli. Well sung, good breath control. Bravo Gigli!

Back to opera. . . . "Nessun dorma" is well sung. The vocalization is smooth. Gigli's voice soars over orchestra and other voices. The final "Vincero" rings out.

While this CD is not without some questions, as noted above, it is worth 5 stars for its full portrayal of the work of Gigli. As such, it can be recommended for anyone who wants a comprehensive introduction to this singer.

Gigli Is A Wonderful Singer!.......2006-07-31

It's an honor for me to be "the first" to review this recording for Amazon. As "opera lovers" know, Gigli was "the greatest tenor in the world" for many years after the death of Caruso. If you haven't heard Gigli, a great treat is in store for you! He had "penache" and drama in the way he sang. Plus he had a beautiful tonal quality! I could go on and on but if you "pass this guy up" you'll be missing some beautiful and dramatic singing from a "world class" singing actor.

Besides listening to Gigli on Cd, you'd be doing yourself a favor to buy a movie in which Gigli appears and sings. The movie is called "Non Ti Scordar di Me". I'll try to find it on amazon or from "The Bel Canto Society" and give it a "review" also. It's an "old movie" but it has a VERY touching story, is well acted, and you get to see and hear Gigli which is a great treat since he has been gone for at least 50 years. He "comes alive" in this CD and in the movie. You will "thrill" to the sound of his voice. Enjoy! Email:boland7214@aol.

This is the very best.......2007-01-25

Unless, you are as crazy as I am about Bjorling and willing to buy everything available anyway, this is the collection to purchase.

It includes the best of all the other compilations. The sound is very clean: much better than some of the records that I have with the same material.

The French stuff is wonderful -- especially Le Reve. There is something so melancholic about his voice. He doesn't need to act or add anything phony. As soon as he opens his mouth, you know this story is not going to end well.

The collection covers more than 20 years. It's amazing that the voice changed so little. His voice lost none of it beauty or power over the years.

Best Beethoven Adeliade ever. What a pity he never recorded any Schubert song cycles.

My God, this collection even includes Adam's Julsang -- which as far as I know existed only in a Swedish RCA 33 rpm. You will never think of "Oh, Holy Night" the same way again.

If you have not listened to Bjorling before, you will never think of some other famous tenors the same way either.

And a bargain. Two disks for $17? Start here.

Customer Reviews:

Very close to greatness, tainted by inconsistent audio quality.......2006-01-07

As an opera fan of the late 18th century early 19th century I was really looking forward to purchasing these three box sets due to their rare content and attention to an obscure period in opera history (Post-Mozart, pre-Rossini). They don't disappoint in content and they diversity of the material; there's a healthy mix of ensembles and solo pieces (with a finale on the third CD) to keep everyone happy.

Historical value is really what presents itself boldly here because you get to experience the missing links of bel canto that unite the composers of the late 18th century with those of the early 19th. You begin to understand the musical climate leading to Rossini and Donizetti which really stresses the point that all artists don't exist in some kind of artistic bubble where their creative genius alone is responsible for what they achieve.

Special mention goes to a composer I had never heard of before this recording, a young man named Manfroce. Opera Rara offers a recording on the first CD of this collection with one of his quartets from his second and last opera Ecuba. The literature in the included booklet says that he passed away at the age of 22 just after completing this opera. It also suggested that he could have been a worthy rival of Rossini if he had lived and I completely agree with that assessment. Don't expect greatness from his quartet but do expect the seeds of greatness as is the case with most "great" opera composers before they hit their maturity.

Last but not least, the reason I gave this box set 3 stars: What could have been an incredible achievement for Opera Rara was tainted by, at times, poor recording. During any kind of volume intense moment like a stretta or cabaletta, or any kind of crescendo for that matter there is scratchy distortion. It's worse in some numbers than in others but present in most of the concerted pieces (during those moments of volume intensity, NOT the WHOLE number) and even a few of the air's and duet's. It's less tolerable on headset but not as offensive on other sound systems. It seems like an easy fix so I don't understand why Opera Rara didn't remedy this in post-production.

Stupendous.......1999-11-08

I have come to expect that any release from Opera Rara recordings will be intruiging at the very least, and truly marvelous at best. This set is a real example of the latter. Any lover of bel canto opera cannot do without this set, and even if you are not a devotee of the bel canto period, I urge you to hear this recording. There are many gems here, not least several selections from Donizetti and Meyerbeer's earliest Italian operas, as well as items from the unjustly neglected Mayr and Pacini, as well as a lovely concert aria from Carl Maria von Weber. Some items look back to the elegant classical line of Mozart and Haydn, while others preface the rise of the decorated florid cantilena made popular by Rossini. There are only two items which I would label as somewhat banal (one a duet by Manuel Garcia, famous tenor and father Pauline Viardot and Maria Malibran), but the rest is enchanting and reminds us what a fertile period this was for Italian opera. Everything is beautifully sung by a group of excellent singers, including Yvonne Kenny, Della Jones, Chris Merritt and Alistair Miles. A delightful set, well worth the price.

This is it -- the best condensed collection!.......2006-12-14

If you don't want to go through the painstaking process of collecting all 45 volumes of the older Philips Complete Mozart Edition, which could end up costing close to $2,000 by the time you have the entire collection, you should eye this condensed set. Granted, it doesn't have ALL the works of Mozart (hence, its title!) so, for the Mozart completist or fanatic, this boxed set will only leave one salivating for more. I am fortunate enough to own both the whole collection and the 'Best of' set and sometimes this 'Best of' set satifies me for a quick fix. The performers of the Philips Complete Mozart Edition are first class and, many would consider, THE world's most acclaimed Mozartian conductors and performers. To me, there is no one who can capture the spirit of Mozart's pieces as well as Sir Neville Marriner and the ASMF. Perhaps with today's technology, some pieces could be better digitally remastered but, quite frankly, I do not hear any hissing sound from these recordings (some from the 1980's), even after being downloaded into my iPod. Don't waste your time and money chasing other Mozart collections because, to date, I have not come across any others that quite compare to the Philips Complete Mozart Edition. Even the 'Best of' set merits more than 5 stars!

The definitive collection--worth the effort........2002-10-13

I'm fascinated with this collection; the selection of performances is superb and you always an authoritative interpretation for each piece. The selection of material is very well balanced. This collection is all the Mozart I'll need for the next decade. It is a good buy if you have only two or three Mozart albums in your CD collection and are intending to deepen your knowledge of this greatest of composers.

A couple of drawbacks in the collection are its lack of decent accompaining literature (you only get the CD's succint liner notes in four languages) and an occasional selection with poor sound quality or hiss from an old recording. The average quality of the remasterizations, though, is very good. You should probably get a nice book on Mozart to read while listening.

Importers beware! this product could produce massive import duties. Check before ordering.

Superb!.......2000-04-14

This is a high quality set, well worth the money. It is an investment in beautiful music for a lifetime.

Go no further than this loving compilation.......2000-02-24

I have many editions in the Philips Complete Mozart Edition ("one-stop shopping" is my middle name) and I recommend them thoroughly and emphatically. Life is too short not to listen to Mozart each and every day of your life. Thanks to those at Philips who put this monster together; we really appreciate it. So does Wolfie. Essential.

Mozart Goo.......1999-12-20

This is the most extensive collection of Mozart that you can buy all in one set. Over 48 hours of nothing but Mozart! Need I say more? Its a little pricey, but well worth the cash.
