A Triumph for Meyerbeer & Opera Rara, November 20, 2006
This review is from: Meyerbeer: L'Esule di Granata [Highlights] (Audio CD)
In my book Opera Rara can do very little wrong. All their recording are wonderful in every respect - singing, quality of the recording, packaging & booklet notes, etc. This recording is no exception. Though a highlights rather than a complete recording, this is the best Meyerbeer opera they've done, which is odd considering that of all Meyerbeer's Italian operas, this was his only failure. My only question is why they recorded this in highlights only & the others (such as Margherita d'Anjou which could use some cuts) in complete recordings. If you're looking to try an Opera Rara Meyerbeer recording, or want to sample one of his early Italian operas, this is the one to buy. Great melodies & exciting music, it's little wonder Rossini left Italy & went to Paris once Meyerbeer arrived on the scene.
