A relative success.......2007-07-11

From his multiple readings of the nine Beethoven symphonies, to his controversial, unconventional production of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, to his individual achievements in the realms of Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, Sibelius, Mahler, Strauss, and Schoenberg, the Austrian conductor-legend Herbert von Karajan left his irreplaceable fingerprint on the world of music. However, in spite of all his brilliance in the aforementioned and unmentioned spheres, Georges Bizet's relentlessly celebrated opera Carmen was as musical tapestry Karajan never fully understood.

While Karajan aficionados plot their revenge for this seemingly gratuitous attack, it should be noted that he was not alone among conductors in this fault; in fact, when one considers than Carmen is the "C" in any beginner's guide to opera ("A" being Verdi's Aïda and "B" being Puccini's La Bohème), it is almost laughable to discover how many disregarded the proper form in which Carmen should be played. Carmen was not a grand opera, despite what Sir Thomas Beecham, Georges Prêtre, Thomas Schippers, and the like wished so ardently to believe. Bizet composed Carmen in the tradition of the opéra-comique, a parallel of the modern musical, with musical sections coupled with spoken melodramas or dialogues. The most superb recorded example of the properly performed Carmen is the Sir Georg Solti recording with Tatiana Troyanos, Plácido Domingo, José van Dam, and Dame Kiri te Kanawa. (Karajan did make a similar recording later in his career, with Agnes Baltsa, José Carreras, van Dam, and Katia Ricciarelli, but his interpretation was regrettably slow and vapid, and the melodramas were spoken (one must wonder why) by actors, rather than the singers.)

In spite of all this, the stars of this recording are superb. Leontyne Price injects a little bit of Bess into her Carmen, which results in a soulful, lyrically beautiful, and dramatically venomous gypsy vamp. Her Habanera ("L'amour est un oiseau rebelle") and Seguidilla ("Près de remparts de Séville") are bewitching. Franco Corelli, who, in 1963, embodied the entire institution of opera with his sultry, sheik-like physique and his hot-blooded, titanic tenor register, is a full-fledged madman as the obsessed Don José. Robert Merrill is a bit too American as the swaggering toreador Escamillo, but his rendition of "Votre toast je peux vous le rendre" is nonetheless suave and debonair. Mirella Freni had not yet reached her silkiest prime in 1963, but she glides through Micaëla's Act III aria ("Je dis que rien ne m'épouvante") like a songbird. (It should be noted that the diction of the four stars is poor, particularly Corelli and Freni; the two of them coupled in Alain Lombard's 1968 recording of Gounod's Roméo et Juliette with similar overall success, hampered only by their abysmal pronunciation.)

The high water mark of this recording is the final track, featuring the opera's cataclysmic finale ("Où vas-tu?"..."Laisse-moi!"). Corelli is so venomously fanatical ("Ainsi, le salut de mon âme"), Price is so inanely noxious and cruel ("Eh bien! Frappe-moi donc, ou laisse-moi passer!"), and the Wiener Philharmoniker is in such tempestuous voice, the following three lines deserve special recognition:

- Don José: "Pour la dernière fois, démon, veux-tu me suivre?"

- Carmen: "Non! Non! Cette bague, autrefois, tu me l'avais donnée. Tiens!"

- Don José: "Eh bien! damnée!"

The above excerpt is literally worth the entire recording; Corelli and Price are unmatched in bravado.

AN ALMOST GREAT CARMEN.......2007-04-13

This Carmen could have been a great one without the role of Don Jose held by Corelli who butchered the french text , which makes me think by the way that unfortunately there is no french opera singers able to deliver an acceptable Opera Comique version ( with the dialogue). (Corelli had also made a mess of the Faust role -with a splendid Ghiaurov-with his
dreadful french accent)..Sorry to say that of deceased great singer but the Carmen libretto is not a text to be only sung but deeply felt which french language does not allow to a singer who does not rehearse enough.
Robert Merrill marvelous dark tone and Mirella Freni, almost a debutante at that time saved the day.

Leontyne Price a Great Carmen.......2007-03-26

Having several Carmen cds, I bought this one on the advice of a great opera expert, Ron Shaheen of San Diego fame. Glad I did. Miss Price is a dramatic on-fire Carmen. Sings with passion and panache. My favorite of all the ones I've heard. Unless you can find one with Milena Kitic singing Carmen, I recommend this version. Corelli, Merrill and Freni, of course, are automatic harbingers of a great cd purchase. All this from an avid opera buffoon. Viva L'Opera!

A Gloriously Sung Carmen.......2006-08-09

One of the sad ironies of opera history is that Bizet never lived to see Carmen become the smash hit of the opera world. Described as the world's first musical, with one hit song after another, the opera is packed with great music and memorable melodies such as the Seguidilla, the Habanera and the Toreador Song. It is one of the first operas set in real time in a real place with ordinary people. Today it is arguably the most popular opera in production.
While there are many wonderful recordings, here it's the voices that make this recording so memorable. Leontyne Price is simply in sumptuous form, with the richness of a mezzo in the lower register plus her ringing top notes. Franco Corelli is a clarion and passionate Don Jose, Mirela Freni a sweet voiced Micaela, and Robert Merrill a rich and robust Escamillo. In some respects this is the "Italian" Carmen, (Corelli and Freni don't have the best French accents and Price was never known for her diction), but the quality of the voices make up for any linguistic deficiency.
As is his wont, Herbert von Karajan emphasizes his orchestra, which becomes almost another member of the cast in his hands--this can sometimes be at the expense of his singers, but Price, Corelli, Freni and Merrill But a von Karajan performance is always thrilling, whether it is this album or his Salzburg Festival DVD with Grace Bumbry, Jon Vickers, Mirela Freni and a very young Justino Diaz.
For a fan of Leontyne Price this is a MUST HAVE, and a worthy addition to any opera collection.

Maybe I'm a little partial..........2006-04-23

I first heard this version of Carmen many years ago, and for two main reasons, I can not give up listening to it. Reason #1: Leontyne Price's voice is so rich and spot-on, and reason #2: the Vienna Boys Choir add the necessary youthful element to the opera. I feel that this is a good, solid recording, well worth the five stars I gave it and far, far better than the versions of Carmen that make me cringe (and which shall remain nameless). The voices were cast well, and as usual, Herbert von Karajan conducts superbly.

Patou's jazz masterpiece.......2001-06-29

This is Patricia Kaas' masterpiece - one of those recording sessions where everything seemed to click, the time was right (in context of performance, composition, and production - not Determinism,) everyone was into the groove, and an artist was captured in the peak of her form. In Kaas' case such peaks seem subject to frequent recurrence...

Several comments have already been posted on "Tour de Charme" - the American version of this recording - but a few important notes need to be made: most importantly, that each of the two versions of this CD has tracks the other doesn't. If you want them all, you have to get both discs.

First, this version does not include "A Saint-Lunaire," which is an indispensible part of Kaas' catalog. It's a beguiling tune woven with elegant contrapuntal background melodies and perfectly understated orchestration that linger long after the final bar. Also absent from this version is PK's brilliant cover of the Edith Piaf classic "La Vie En Rose".

On the other hand, "Je Te Dis Vous" contains three tracks not found on the "Tour De Charme" version: "Hotel Normandy," which is a great and similarly indispensible jazz/pop tune; the forgettable "Ganz Und Gar" in German; and an English-language blues number, "Out Of The Rain" - which is far better than "Space In My Heart" and sould have replaced the latter on "Tour De Charme".

Another point is that "Tour De Charme", the title used for the North American version of "Je Te Dis Vous", is actually the title of Kaas' second concert CD and video - both of which were out of print at last check.

A Historical (and top-notch) Find.......2000-12-27

In 1912, Thomas Edison hired an agent to make recordings of opera singers to be sent back to Edison for his personal "audition." Several hundred (thousands were made) of these recordings were recently exhumed and make for an amazing listening experience. Although these are acoustic recordings, the sound quality is unsurpassed - the voices crystal clear, smooth, and even with no audible surface noise. All of the singers in this compilation are excellent, with some wonderful surprises coming from several realtively obscure names. A detailed booklet with comprehensive biographical material is included. Until this issue surfaced, very few people besides Edison himself had been able to listen to these treasures - let's hope that more of these gems can be found!

An Interesting Rarity.......2003-10-24

When it comes to popular operas, Cherubini's LODOISKA is probably not at the top of too many lists. As a matter of fact, even the most well versed opera lovers have probably never heard of the piece, let alone whistle its memorable arias and duets. Some music lovers may be familiar with the opera's powerful overture, but that's about it. All of this is probably rather sad when you consider that in his day, Luigi Cherubini was a very well loved and highly regarded composer. In his younger years he was a contemporary of Mozart, Beethoven, Hadyn, and Schubert, and in his later years Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini, and rivaled some of these composers in popularity. Sadly he is virtually unknown today.

LODOISKA is a period piece and its plot is the rather familiar "rescue opera" of which Beethoven's FIDELIO is probably the best example. The lovely Princess Lodoiska is in love with the handsome and dashing Prince Floreski. The only person who stands in the way of the lovers' happiness is the evil Baron Dourlinski. Fortunately Floreski has made a pact with the Tartars who help him save his love just before she will be forced to marry Dourlinski. The opera ends with the two love birds living happily ever after.

This set of disks is from a live recording from La Scala in Milan. Riccardo Muti is the conductor. Since this is the only recording of the opera available today (at least I do not see any others listed), it is also the greatest since it has no competition. Mariella Devia and Bernard Lombardo do well as Lodoiska and Floreski respectively. The second act of this recording is the strongest and probably has the most musical appeal. Unfortunately the first act is not all that gripping, but this is due more to the blandness of some of the music and not the performance. This opera will probably not be in the disk player all that often, but it is an enjoyable set to listen to for a change.
