Gravitational anomaly

 
   
 

Yes there seems to have been some sort of gravitational anomaly in Italy in the early ottocento. All the tenors sank to Naples and the basses floated up to the northern Italian cities. Consider the casts of the northern Italian Rossini operas - Barber and Cenerentola. One tenor and three high basses (Figaro, Bartolo, Basilio and Magnifico, Dandini, and Alidoro). Then consider Armida - seven tenor roles and one minor bass part. Armida is the most popular topic in all opera. There have been nearly 100 opera or ballet versions including works by Lully, Gluck, Salieri, Haydn, and Dvorak. Most of the tenor parts are doubled like Masetto-Commendatore so that only four tenors can manage. Oddly the lead tenor Rinaldo has no aria but the second and third tenors have very big challenging arias. This concert performance gives us Bruce Ford as Rinaldo, Raul Gimenez, and Juan Carmona.

Bruce Ford is in another league here--singing with guys who have/had careers but aren't the same class of tenor as Ford. They are good, yes, but not in his league. I am happy that today, as opposite to the trend that is dying, that in the world of Rossini opera-- you now have tenors who sing with a full voice (like Ford, Florez, and Brownlee) getting the roles now.

This is really nice. Thanks! BTW - I really like what you wrote in your bio on your home page. Good for you and everything you did and tryed to do! It takes striving people to make things happen.

Sorry, I don't have that recording. I will listen to you La Donna excerpt ASAP.

If it wouldn't be a bother and if you have the piece in question, would you be able to post "Qual pena in me", the terzet from "La donna del lago" as performed by Ford and Miricioui on one of their recital CDs? I recently posted a version of this terzet sung by von Stade, Blake and Raffanti, and it would be interesting to compare these two renditions. Incindentally, if you have the time, check out the version on my channel, it features some very exciting singing :)! Cheers :D!

This version is surely the most brilliant that I had the pleasure to hear: Ford faces stiff competition from Merritt and Blake in the role, and yet I find him much more tonally beautiful; Carmona is unfamiliar to me, but his winning Italian-sounding voice is a pleasure; Gimenez provides some of the most exciting Cs in here. A winner, all-around :)!

I have two complete commercial Armida CDs (Fleming and Kunde)(Meritt and Ford), two complete Armida DVDs (Blake and Gimenez)(Ford and Gimenez). I also have Blake's and Ford's commercial recital CDs. Both of these CDS have a version of this trio. This is my favorite performance.

I absolutely adore this trio, and it is superbly sung here. Ford has a more classical style than Rockwell Blake, takes less risks but is really quite good here. But really I'm off to listen to the same piece sung by Blake
