| |  | James Levine conducts Mascagni & Leoncavallo
“I doubt you'll hear or see a better show: Levine, in his early prime, leads with respect for the music and the verismo tradition and whips the action into a melodramatic frenzy...Domingo sings both tenor leads tirelessly, with bite, ringing tone, sincerity and passion...this is clearly a superstar. He reacts as well as acts; of course it helps that he's opposite two blazing women co-stars...Not perfect performances, but they will leave you breathless nonetheless.” International Record Review, January 2012 “[Troyanos] is glorious...Domingo is as close to the ideal as possible...Not many tenors have the stamina to sing both Turiddu and Canio on the same evening, but Domingo has...The sound is not in the same class as the performance but is acceptable. With a well-nigh perfect Pagliacci and a slightly flawed Cavalleria rusticana this is a good buy.” MusicWeb International, August 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Adriana Lecouvreur, although a melodramatic fictional tale, is based on a real-life actress of the ComÉdie-FranÇaise, and is the only one of Cilea’s operas to have held a place in the repertory, albeit on the fringes. The opera is tuneful and melodic with some arias that are also occasionally heard in recital but its main challenge is for a dramatic soprano and this is amply demonstrated here by Renata Scotto. “Francesco Cilea's… dramatic balance between light and shade, delicate orchestration and thunderous melodrama, are all superbly served by the Philharmonia and James Levine on top form… Maria Callas could not have outstripped Scotto in this title role… Domingo sounds ardent and ideally youthful as her aristocratic boyfriend... Altogether unsurpassable.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2009 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
