Puccini: La BohemeSpecifications:
Feature | Mr. Spano's work offers proof that taking a fresh approach to an operatic staple need not come down simply to conducting it faster. If anything |
Feature | his roomy tempos allow ample time for the singers to shape melodic lines and trade banter with naturalness and clarity. Even so |
Feature | this is a crisp |
richly textured performance. Mr. Spano is especially good at revealing musical structure | the layout of the phrases |
Feature | what leads to what. --Anthony Tommasini |
Feature | New York Times |
Feature | Two things in particular make this recording noteworthy |
and Robert Woods identified both of them in my interview with him | the ensemble spirit |
Feature | and the dramatic veracity...What creates the veracity is detail |
Feature | and this recording is filled with it. Try |
Feature | for example |
Feature | the start of act III. I love the slightly annoyed tone of the Customs Official's "Vengo! |
Feature | " the earthy "Hopplà!" of the milkmaids and carters |
Feature | the apparent tipsiness of the revelers inside the tavern |
Feature | and |
Feature | upon Mimì's entrance |
her breathlessness. No other recording paints as complete a picture as this. Another moment | in act IV |
Feature | Marcello's response "Ah |
Feature | miseria!" ("Ah |
Feature | poverty") when asked by Musetta if there is any coffee or wine in the garret is heartbreaking |
Feature | to the point that I am fogging up just thinking about it... You'll probably wait a long time before you hear a chorus and orchestra better prepared for La bohème than Atlanta's. It is good to know that the late Robert Shaw's legacy lives on. Spano is a non-interventionist conductor |
Feature | but that's not to say that the conducting here is dull or routine. Telarc's engineering team has captured the "being there" feeling that audience members must have had. Indeed |
Feature | entrances and exits |
Feature | offstage effects |
Feature | and the use of props are audible without creating distraction. There are many well-engineered recordings of this opera on the market |
but I think this one is unique for the splendid way in which the live setting has been preserved. The verdict | keep your favorite recording(s) of La bohème by all means |
Feature | but if you love this score |
Feature | Telarc's new recording puts a fresh spin on it |
Feature | so it deserves a high recommendation." --Fanfare |
