3.0 out of 5 stars L'art mais pas la manière, September 6, 2007
This review is from: Verdi: Les Vêpres Siciliennes (Audio CD)
Il n'existe qu'une seule version disponible des «Vêpres siciliennes» en français, celles d'un concert de 1969 enregistré pour la BBC qui l'a retransmis l'année d'après. Ces bandes étaient disponibles sur de nombreux labels spécialisés dans les réalisations non-officielles comme Voce ou Arkadia. La maison de disques Opera rara a donc simplement repris ces bandes sans en améliorer substantiellement la qualité sonore (comme elle le fera aussi pour «Don Carlos»). L'interprétation en soi est bonne sans être brillante.
Le gros bémol est le prix demandé par Opera rara. On a certes un peu plus de trois heures de musique et un très gros livret avec le texte de l'opéra en français. Mais cet enregistrement n'a pas été fait par le label et il n'a donc aucune raison objective d'être au prix (prohibitif) qu'ils pratiquent habituellement. Malheureusement, les disques sortis par Voce ou Arkadia sont devenus rares et donc chers. Dans ces cas-là, Opera rara deviendrait compétitif -un comble ! Il faut savoir cependant qu'il ne s'agit ni plus ni moins que des bandes bien connues des réalisations non-officielles -et sans les bonus encore !

5.0 out of 5 stars A Long Waited Release, January 16, 2005
This review is from: Verdi: Les Vêpres Siciliennes (Audio CD)
No Verdi fan should be without this recording. This opera is sung in flawless French and the cast, although with no major stars, does an incredible job bringing this important work to life. You will not be disappointed.
