The modern discography of Massenet's Werther has long been dominated by the (currently out of print) Philips recording starring José Carreras and Frederica von Stade as well as the earlier EMI version with Alfredo Kraus and Tatiana Troyanos. But this EMI newcomer is within shouting distance of greatness, mainly due to conductor Antonio Pappano. Although any Werther succeeds or fails on the strength of its singers, the conductor is a crucial catalyst (on the Philips set, it's Colin Davis, while on EMI it's Michel Plasson) for maintaining the poetic intensity in a drama that can too easily seem like a naive case study in stalking. The Byronic title character essentially practices emotional blackmail on the married woman he loves by never hiding his suicidal tendencies, though one never thinks such mundane thoughts with tenor Roberto Alagna. Although his voice lacks the tenor bloom one might want, he's so at home with the role and the French language that he delivers a characterization full of imagination and immediacy, sometimes bordering on vocal genius. Soprano Angela Gheoghiu's vocal center is too high for this mezzo role, but she makes a vivid impression through the sheer force of her personality. Thomas Hampson gives vocal glamour but surprising dramatic restraint to the role of her husband, Albert. Although the sound quality is somewhat studio bound, Pappano and the London Symphony Orchestra play as if it's a live performance. --David Patrick Stearns

A star among modern Werthers, but there are others.......2006-05-28

The reviewers below have praised this EMI Werther so thoroughly that there's little to add. Gheorghiu is the only soprano besides Victoria de los Angeles (1868, also on EMI) to record this classic mezzo role, and at times one hears the strain as she reaches for the bottom notes. She lacks de los angeles's many emotional shadings, giving us instead a fairly consistent, verismo-tinged passion, but her vocalism as such is thrilling.

Roberto alagna, a native French speaker despite his name, is the only prominent Werther who can claim that distinciton. I've always felt he was much better suited to French opera than the heavier Verdi-Puccini roles that he now sings, and which (shadoes of Carreras) have led to a coarsening of his voice, along with a pronounced wobble and intonation problems. but he is a star, no doubt, and here he brings charisma and style to Wether. He takes care to find many musical shadings throughout, and since the date for this recording is 1998-99, he is nearly in best voice.

Everyone has praised Pappano (are they following the lead of The Gramophone reviewer, who thought he was the best thing here?), but Colin Davis, Georges Pretre, and Kent Nagano had done as well. Pappano;s distinciton is that he is a bit slower, more dleiberate, and self-consciously refined. I'm not sure that's always a great advantage in Massanet, whose music is given to sighs and longueurs--it can use help form an energetic conductor. EMI's recording form London is a bit distant but otherwise quite good.

IN all, this is a gripping peformance that deserves all the praise it has gotten, but it doesn't erase memories of other fine Werthers, an opera that has been amazingly successful on records. The Davis features a remarkable Charlotte in Frederica von stade and a passionate, verismo Carreras in top form (Philips), the Nagano has gorgeous if not quite idiomatic singing from von Otter and Hadley in a more low-key, melliflous style (Erato), and of course there's the classic Pretre version with de los Angeles and Gedda. This only skims the surface, for there is an oustanding live 1977 performance with Domingo and Fassbaender under Lopez-Corbos from Munich (Orfeo). Indeed, when the Amazon reviewer claims that the Plasson set with Troyanos and Kraus on EMI "dominated" the stereo era, he is far from accurate.

Another Smash Hit From The French Opera Specialists .......2006-02-25

Husband and wife singing sensatio Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu, in another stunning EMI recording, dramatically commit themselves to the passionate characters in this now forgotten opera Werther, which quite possibly is Massenet's best work. Although Alagna and Gheorghiu can sing the Italian opera repertoire with aplomb (Tosca, Trovatore, Boheme, Pagliacci, La Rondine) they have proven time and again that their strongest reperotoire is French opera. As soon as their Romeo Et Juliette hit record stores and stage houses, they were immediately hailed as today's finest French opera singers, a rarity. Not only do they possess beautiful voices but they are intensely dramatic and character-driven. Never more so than in Massenet's Werther, a Gothic romantic drama about the tormented love of the titular hero who kills himself. It's drawn from a popular Romantic-Era 19th century novel - The Sorrows of Young Werther. Both Alagna and Gheorghiu are in great vocal shape. They understand the significance of the text and they are blessed with the talents of their champion conductor, Antonio Pappano, who draws out the power in the musical score with the London Symphony Orchestra. All true fans of Alagna and Gheorghiu will want to own this one, as it is indeed their best work yet.

Roberto Alagna has been criticized for his flawed technique- he sings with self-conscious grandeur and often imitates the lyric tones of predecessors Giuseppe Di Stefano and Franco Corelli. He has a nearly "pop" style voice - all razzzle-dazzle, great volume, beautiful tone, but often fails in the more difficult music. He is however, very gifted and intelligent and attempts to sing with as much passion and drama as possible. I for one love what I hear from him, especially in this recording, where he has never sang better. Angela Gheorghiou sings with her usual dramatic diva flair - thrilling high notes, tessitura, chest voice, musicality and all the good things she has used for other great hits like Juliette and Manon. But in this performance, while it is still good, she is not really in her element. This is a mezzo-soprano role. Charlotte, Werther's unattainable love, must sing with mezzo soprano voice in order to seduce Werther a la Bizet's Carmen. While it is definately a role for a high mezzo, it is not for the purely soprano voice of Angela Gheorghiu. You have to be a fan of these two in order to appreciate Gheorghiu's treatment of a mezzzo soprano role. It is basically the same thing as her Carmen, another mezzo soprano role. If you want to hear outstanding mezzo sopranos in Werther check out the dramatic mezzo style of Brigitte Fassbaender who is by far the best intepretor or check out Federica Von Stade who sings a cooler and less intense Charlotte opposite the supercharged Jose Carreras. Pappano does a great job with the music - bloom, brilliance, darkness and this is by far the best modern recording of the opera.

¿El mejor Werther despues de Kraus?.......2004-10-23

Sorprendente acierto de la EMI (la casa para la que grababa Alfredo Kraus, uno de los interpretes de referencia del papel de 'Werther') al confiar a una de las parejas mas activas discograficamente del momento, Roberto Alagna y Angela Gheorghiu, la grabacion de 'Werther' en 1999 (justo el año de la muerte del mitico Kraus)
Y digo sorprendente porque quizas ROBERTO ALAGNA sea el mejor interprete de Werther desde el mitico Kraus. Sus interpretaciones son muy diferentes entre si, ya que Alagna muestra un timbre mas baritonal que el liviano de Kraus y un canto mas afrancesado: Un canto elegante y entregado capaz de llegar a los agudos sin grandes problemas, que hacen de Alagna seguramente el mejor Werther de su generacion (y por tanto el mejor despues de Kraus).
Como Charlotte encontramos a la soprano ANGELA GHEORGHIU, en un papel que aunque habitualmente es cantado por mezzos, le queda francamente bien: la voz doliente y expresiva de Gheorghiu se presta perfectamente a la psicologia de Charlotte, y la quimica con Alagna en los duos de amor (sobra decir que es su esposo en la vida real) es total.
Completando el reparto nos encontramos con los lujos de PATRICIA PETIBON (una Sophie cuyo timbre recuerda mucho al de Natalie Dessay) y el Albert de un THOMAS HAMPSON que es todo sutilidad. El resto del reparto rinde tambien a buen nivel.
ANTONIO PAPPANO dirige a la LONDON SIMPHONY (que suena igual de bien que siempre) y el coro infantil canta con mucha correccion. Si a esto le sumamos un sonido magnifico (podemos oir en algunos momentos incluso los susurros de Pappano a la orquesta), esto nos lleva a pensar que este 'Werther' sea la mas adecuada segunda opcion, despues de tener la obviamente obligada de Alfredo Kraus. Muy buen trabajo.

Best Werther recording since the 1930s.......2000-03-17

I will admit that I am "imprinted" on the Georges Thill/Ninon Vallin recording from the 1930s and no recording since then has even come close. But this recording does. Alagna (who is a native French speaker, in spite of the Italian name) has the diction and, more important, the style to sing poor Werther perfectly. Gheorghiu sings beautifully as well, and there is no problem with the tessitura, in spite of Charlotte generally being more comfortable for mezzos. Pappano is an up-and-coming conductor who does himself proud with this recording. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one.

thoughts on "Werther".......2000-01-07

Perfect casting for the title role... Alagna feels *good* and sorry for himself...no problems there! Just listen to him belt and bleat through "Pourquoi"...it's no wonder Charlotte changes her mind. "Stop whining!"

This CD is worth your money, provided you already like the opera. Personally, Werther's selfishness drives me up a wall.

There's only one major problem: why is Gheorghiu singing a mezzo role? The middle register of her voice is *not* her best of show.

Good bargain choice.......2006-01-09

For an opera that is not presented all that often, "Werther" seems to have accumulated an extraordinary number of complete recordings.

Unfortunately for dedicated audiophiles, far and away the best performance, one that almost certainly is not going to be matched or even approached by the current or foreseeable crop of singers and conductors, is fossilized on recordings made about seventy years ago. That is the "Werther" with the great Georges Thill, a performance as authentically French as the Eifel Tower. For anyone more interested in art than in mechanical reproduction of sound, I strongly recommend that you acquire a copy right now. Naxos has done an admirable job in rescuing as much of its sound as current technology allows.

For those of you who feel comfortable only with DDD sound, this performance is as good as more expensive ones with better-known performers. It is consistently and competently sung throughout. It is workmanlike in execution and as close to being authentically French as is likely to be found in this era of the jet-setting "international" style.

For overall performance of the opera, as opposed to star-turns from famous (but sometimes curiously cast) singers, this "Werther" is as good as anything recorded in the digital era.

And, of course, it has to be better than that thing with Bocelli.

Quite acceptable, but others are better.......2003-01-22

This live recording from a regional opera company in France has several things going for it. First, of course, is the price - as always a plus with Naxos releases. Then there is the excitement of a live performance. (By the way, there is no audience noise that I can hear except for a burst of applause at the end of the opera.) There is the mostly French cast, which means that diction of the French text is better than most. And finally, both the conductor and primary singers are quite acceptable. The only non-French singer is the American tenor, Marcus Haddock, who has quite a nice voice with heft and an easy top, although the sound is a bit generic. His diction and his acting are quite good. The Charlotte, mezzo Béatrice Uria-Monzon, has a first class voice and knows how to act through the voice.

This recording will not erase memories of the classic recording from the 1930s with Ninon Vallin and Georges Thill. Nor is it as good as the recent Alagna/Gheorghiu/Pappano recording. Nor does it have as good an Albert (René Massin) as the Pappano recording (Thomas Hampson, in one of his best portrayals).

Be warned that the libretto is in French only, so unless you know the opera very well or are fluent in French, this should not be your only recording of this opera that some feel is Massenet's best.

Representative highlights of soprano YVONNE PRINTEMPS's career,with excerps of MESSAGER's classic VÉRONIQUE;HAHN's operetta MOZART, which she created with her first husband SACHA GUITRY;the OSCAR STRAUSS numbers,while very popular at the time,have not aged so well.Still,overall this is a good summary of her career.YVONNE PRINTEMPS was a beloved figure in FRANCE between the two world wars.She in a way,helped to perpetuate the operetta tradition in FRANCE.We can honoured her for that,a difficult task that she fitted to perfection.

YVONNE PRINTEMPS SINGS LIKE A BIRD.......2000-02-11

I am a big, big fan of Yvonne Printemps and am pleased to see what I have on a vinyl LP now on CD. She was a big, big star of the French (and possibly English) stages from possibly as early as 1915 and made a couple of films in the late 1930s - The Three Waltzes and other other film.

My LP notes that YP sings like a oiseau (French for bird). She has a beautiful voice and the harmonies with Pierre Fresnay who also co-starred in The Three Waltzes are music to the ears.

Do yourself a favour ... have a listen to this. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who knows where more YP material can be obtained from. My email = johngidley@one.net.au

Born in 1869, Renaud inherited the mantle of French baritone actor/singers Jean Lassalle and Victor Maurel. He deploys his ample resources with supple restraint and tonal eloquence. Note values are often stretched beyond anything we hear today. One will scarcely recognize Mozart's Don Giovanni Serenade (in French and Italian), for instance, but the traditional ornaments are in place. Perhaps "Pour tant d'amour" and "Leonor, viens" from Donizetti's La Favorite are a tad garish, yet Renaud's ardent approach suits Massenet's Vision Fugitive to a tee, in three different versions. Conversely, the singer's attention to details of rhythm and phrasing in Berlioz's Serenade never detract from the purity of tone. Thorough annotations and splendid transfers add up to a desirable, though specialized, reissue. --Jed Distler
