Don Carlos exists in several versions, in French or Italian (Don Carlo, in five acts or four. This recording (five acts in French) uses the original version composed by Verdi for a premiere at the Paris Opera in 1867. It is longer than the 1883 revision (four acts in Italian), but longer means better when we talk about Verdi's music, and the French prologue gives a more concrete understanding of why Don Carlos loves his stepmother, Queen Elisabetta, with a more than filial affection. There are show-stopping arias and duets galore, a striking scene in which the Inquisition burns a group of Protestants, echoes of revolt in the Spanish Empire, and poignant reflections on lost love. It is an opera whose true greatness is not yet fully appreciated by many Verdi fans, but this eloquent recording should help remedy that. --Joe McLellanCustomer Reviews:
An Essential Recording, if there ever was one.......2007-06-30
There are many things that make this recording work so wonderfully, one aspect of which is Antonio Pappano's conducting. If there is a finer opera conductor today, someone should let me know since Pappano has excelled in nearly every single operatic work that he has tackled to date, and that includes Puccini, Verdi, Massenet, Strauss, and Wagner. His conducting does not only have the poetry that Giulini so famously imbued the work with. It also has a drive and a forward propulsion that keeps Verdi's longest work running smoothly in both the musical and drama departments. I have never heard a more idiomatic conductor in this work other than Abbado and Giulini. Kudos as well to the magnificent playing from the Theatre du Chatelet orchestra.
The other reason to get this set is for the magnificent cast assembled around the opera. If Roberto Alagna does not have the beautiful lyricism of Carreras' voice or the robust virility of Domingo's, he has a command of perfect French, excellent phrasing, and a surprisingly complete understanding of the character that makes his interpretation very appealing. One could wish that his top were as easy as the rest of his voice, but that is a minor complaint when you assess his performance as a whole. Karita Mattila is an absolutely alluring Elisabeth. It is a noble, beautiful, lyric, grand, reflective, and tragic interpretation of a role that sopranos like to turn into a mourning vehicle. I have never heard a more powerful and beautiful voice in this role (yes, that includes Caballe and Freni), and one must simply hear Mattila's top notes to hear what wonders she creates with this character. If the basic colour of her voice is not one that listeners would associate with a Verdian sound, then I would say that her voice is more kaleidoscopic than that. Thomas Hampson sings the role of the Marquise de Posa, and although there are several detractors to him singing Verdi, I can say that his French his excellent, that he is a sensitive singer to the text, and that he shows the true spirit of Posa through his singing. I would say that this is probably his best operatic performance to date. Jose Van Dam is perhaps the most noble and tragic Philippe along with Rene Pape, and one must hear his fourth act monologue and the "Lacrymosa" section during Rodrigue's death to truly hear what wonders this great bass baritone can do with this voice. It has a grace and grandeur to it that few basses, including Nicolai Ghiaurov and Raimondi, were able to capture totally in the role. Waltraud Meier may not have been fluent in the coloratura as some great mezzos like Bumbry, Simionato, Cossotto, and Verrett in the role of Eboli, but what she lacks in Italianate fluency she succeeds in dramatic intensity. Her "O don fatal" must be heard, and her plea with Elisabeth is one of her best moments in the opera. Erich Halfvarson is not the most memorable Inquisitor, but that is not a huge concern in a recording where everything works wonders, especially Karita Mattila's Elisabeth, Van Dam's Philippe, and Alagna's Carlos.
This is an essential recording for everyone who loves Verdi and opera. Bravo to EMI for releasing this landmark performance!

Great Performance, But Not Paris "Original".......2004-04-08
The Prelude and Introduction, cut prior to 1867 is not included. Fair enough. But then in Act II, Posa's account to Carlos of his visit to Flanders is included: Verdi also cut this before the 1867 premiere. The Posa-Philip duet jumps to the 1884 version at the 2/3 mark. The mask changing scene between Elizabeth and Eboli is included, but the ballet is not, strictly contrary to Verdi's expressed intentions. A fragment only of the Elizabeth/Eboli duet, another number cut prior to 1867, is included -- there is no authority that I know of for its inclusion in this form. The "Lacrymosa" ensemble was also cut prior to 1867. The "marziale" section from the final duet is cut, something that was not instituted until the 1872 Naples revision, never for Paris. The ending is also not the Paris version which included a chorus of Inquisitors who try and convict Carlos.
So what do we have? It is not 1867, nor is it the version Verdi completed in 1866 prior to the cuts. It starts as 1867, then reverts to 1866, then jumps ahead to 1884, then back to 1867, further back to 1866, then ahead to 1872 and finally 1884. There are significantly, no liner notes detailing this other than a vague references to "choices" having been made.
The performance is still worth having, particularly since it contains passages not available elsewhere. I simply object to the dishonest way in which this has been presented to the public, particularly those who are less familiar with the history of the opera and take the "Original French Version" claim at face value.
Quite Excellent.......2004-02-16
Don Carlo, though, went through extensive changes, some were for the better tightening the action and the musical thoughts; others were not an improvement at all. The Five Act version recorded by Guilini is an Italian version created by Verdi where he replaced the first act, but retained his changes in the other acts that he had written when creating the four act version. In this recording, as with the French version sung by Domingo, we are witnessing the original thoughts on the matter. The differences, excepting the obvious number of acts, are subtle, but noticeable.
The singers do a wonderful job in this recording, and as with all live performances, there are warts. Sometimes the singers are not true to the center of the note, and sometimes they don't carry as well as they should (the grand inquisitor for one, his very low F below the cleff is not that well produced, but it is very audible; with our dirth of true basses these days, it is a wonder they found anyone who could sing the note at all). Yet, over all, it is a stunning representation of the work. If only, like one reviewer mentioned, this recording would be recorded in the studio so we could really experience the entire concept of the work. Singing is important to Verdi, but so is orchestra, and that is the area that most suffers in live recordings. The orchestra is seldom balanced as well as we would hope.
I rated the recording a five star because it is worth it. It is a wonderful recording, and a super exceptional representation of a great opera by a great compose. Too often Don Carlos, especially the original French version, has been dismissed as "a failure", "ineffective", and all those sorts of terms, when in reality, even though the ending of the opera is dramatically weak, it is nothing of the sort. It is a very vital, exciting work, and the orginal concept Verdi created is in many ways far superior to what he did with it later. I would recommend it to anyone, and everyone, who loves good opera.
The Original Verdi Opera: The Best Recording.......2003-12-30
Set in the 1500's, the king of Spain, Phillip must deal with political instability, the Inquisition and a revolutionary idealist son, Don Carlos, the prince. The opera, true to a lot of Verdi themes, is dark and even melancholy. The Inquisition casts a dark shadow over the opera, providing a chilling and depressive mood. Don Carlos himself, though a good man and the hero we root for, is flawed and even lusts and loves the beautiful and noble Queen Elisabetta- his own mother. Princess Eboli, which requires a dramatic soprano, is a scheming and seductive temptress with a vengeance. The characters sing about their discontent with life- religions are failing in dark times, they have not found real love or meaning in life and what's more political problems surround them. They all long for death and it is the only thing they have in common. The darkest scene in the opera is the auto de fe scene. The Grand Inquisitor, the opera villain, orders the public burning of Protestants. The ending is ambigous. Nothing seems to be resolved- unusual for Verdi opera which either end tragically or happily. Don Carlos is saved from death but the ideals he struggled so hard to make real were never established.
All in all a great opera. The best in fact.

Suave and Debonair.......2002-04-25
I never had any albums or CDs of his before, but did have a 120 minute cassette that her sister's boyfriend recorded for me. I listened to it fairly often over the years and recently decided to buy a CD since the tape was getting old. But where to start? He had unfortunately written down no song titles but I knew which ones I liked. So I settled on 30 Grandes Canciones to start.
OK, there are a lot of great songs here. Carlos has the right voice for romantic song and this CD is full of romance. But there are also a few dogs.
Let's start with my favorites. Most of them turned out to be songs I knew from the late 1980s and early 1990s. There are several of which I will never tire: Detalles, Si El Amor Se Va, and Amigo. Then there are those I like quite a bit: La Distancia, Que Sera de Ti, Cama y Mesa, Lady Laura, and El Gato Que Esta Triste Y Azul. Most of the rest I can take or leave. Carlos' voice is really at his best on those mentioned above.
A couple of stars are knocked off by the inclusion of a couple insipid numbers I detest. I never have liked Un Millon de Amigos or La Montana, but the crown for the cheesiest song on the album goes to Simbolo Sexual. The vocals and the arrangement are downright jejune!
Despite those few songs, I recommend 30 Grandes Canciones to anyone who would like a sampling of the work of a very suave and debonair Roberto Carlos.

Rhythm is way off........2004-02-24
And the price is right, too........2003-05-24
Of all the solo guitar albums in my collection, this is the most expressive and poignant.
The performance is masterful, intricate and sensitive. There is a wide mastery of inflection and style.
Gerald Garcia is one of the true masters of solo guitar at any level much less Brazilian. (This album was recorded in 1988.)
So treat yourself to the best 72'46" of listening pleasure.

He's pretty good!.......2000-07-04
There is a generous number of tracks here, displaying the wealth of work by a great guitarist. More importantly, the repetoire on the album moves away from the standard Albeniz, Granados, Tarrega, Sor collections that so many classical guitarists feel compelled to release. The pieces are probably familiar to most classical guitarists who enjoy playing Brasilian music, but, for those who've never heard or played the works of Almeida, Baden-Powell, Savio or Machado it will be a pleasant surprise. And for people who just like nice music, it will be a fantastic investment.

Callas Aida, Mex. City, 1951.......2006-07-21
Callas's most famous Aida -- all I can say is wow.......2006-02-17
But in this 1951 Mexico City performance, Callas was on fire. Her voice of course never had the glowing beauty of a Tebaldi or Price, but Callas makes her Aida a firy princess. Her "Ritorna vincitor" might be the best sung version I've ever heard. Rosa Ponselle and Giannina Arangi-Lombardi and Renata Tebaldi may sound more beauty but Callas inflects the text to great emotional effect. Her "O patria mia" is a rough moment -- high C was always a rough note for Callas, and she can't sing it "dolce" as marked in the score. But her Act 3 duets with del Monaco and Taddei are remarkable, as is her "O terra addio." And of course, she caps off the Triumphal Scene with the famous E-flat that lasts 7 seconds (yes I've counted). Legend has it that in 1950, when she sang Aida at Mex City with Kurt Baum, she was so annoyed with the tenor that she did the E-flat at the Triumphal Scene. It worked so well that the next year she tried the same stunt.
The rest of the cast is strong. I prefer a Radames who is better able to control dynamics like Franco Corelli or Carlo Bergonzi. Mario del Monaco seems to sing in two ways -- loud and louder. But del Monaco is certainly stentorian and heroic and there just aren't voices like him anymore. Giuseppe Taddei is a wonderfully nasty Amonasoro. His voice practically drips hatred and bitterness. And Oralia Dominguez is not as well-known as the rest of the cast but she's terrific nonetheless, with a beautiful, powerful mezzo voice.
The sound is admittedly bad, but the performance more than makes up for it.
All hail to the E Flat Goddess.......2005-08-23
