Norma - Mario Del Monaco & Elinor Ross (1967 Berlin) - Remastered

This famous recording is already available on KZbin, but it was never edited properly. The constant distortion always desperated, at least, me, and i suspect many others too. This version is finally without the imminent distortion, which should make it much more listenable than before.
You can hear the unedited version here: • Norma - Vincenzo Belli...
Cast:
Norma - Elinor Ross
Pollione - Mario Del Monaco
Adalgisa - Giovanna Vighi
Oroveso - Massimiliano Malaspina
Flavio - Mario Guggia
Clotilde - Licia Galvano
Cond. Ettore Gracis
La Fenice Orchestra
Recorded: 09.01.1967
Berlin

Как жаль, что сейчас не услышишь таких голосов...Их нет, от слова-совсем...А Марио Дель Монако здесь не то, что проконсул - абсолютный император!!! Его голос, жесты-всё крышесносно! Если Марио на сцене, смотрю только на него, хотя главная героиня здесь- Норма. Магия великого Марио Дель Монако!

Уважаемая Ирина, а меня больше поразила в этой постановке Elinor Ross. Я ещё не слышал такой Нормы! А вот Марио Дель Монако какой-то холодный, каменный, особенно в последней сцене. Явно артистизма не хватило, как в "ПАЯЦЫ", например. Про голос, молчу. Очень хорош в этой постановке Massimiliano Malaspina. Я слушал как-то "Норму" в Ковент-Гарден, где Pollione пел Джозеф Каллея вместе с Соней Йончевой. Голоса конечно хуже, НО!... какой артистизм! В последней сцене у меня, мужика, ком в горле и слёзы на глазах. Здесь я этого не почувствовал. "Норма", моя самая любимая опера и с интересом, с надеждой услышать самую шедевральную постановку слушаю оперу с любым составом. Всегда наслаждаюсь музыкой Беллини!

@@levpetrenkov Уважаемый, levkap, а с чего ему быть уж очень"горячим" к Норме? Ведь он влюблён в Adalgisa, а Норма была ему препятствием..Да, конечно, Поллион оценил её самопожертвование-ну ведь мужчины...Ну это так..отступление.Я ,думаю, Марио здесь был очень сосредоточен на вокальной стороне сложнейших арий, ведь не так много времени ещё прошло с момента аварии, в которую он попал и нужно доказывать, что Дель Монако - по прежнему Дель Монако! А что касается вокала, то он бесподобен у всех! Norma, Adalgisa, Flavio, Oroveso-все бесподобны! Но Марио, для меня, просто-недосягаемый космос!

[@levpetrenkov]

@@user-mk8kw4eg2s Ирина, возможно Вы правы, но сама МУЗЫКА композитора в финале говорит, даже кричит о человеческой драме. Поллион осознал, вдруг, что любит Норму, мать их детей, а Адальжиза была только увлечением. Ну, как здесь можно быть холодным?! Они в последний раз видят своих детей и идут на костёр вместе.(( Ещё раз повторюсь, к голосам у меня нет претензий, только к актёрской работе. Может быть постановщик этой оперы не донёс такие детали до певцов. Например, Норма в последний момент сообщает своему отцу, что она МАТЬ, но реакции отца, Оровезо мы не видим, а она должна быть. Жалко, что финальной сцены не нашёл, но послушайте дуэт Нормы и Поллиона(Йончева-Каллея) и оцените АРТИСТИЗМ певцов. А финал ещё сильнее! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqK3naSYbbynf7s Меня Лев зовут.)

И как убедительно и очень артистично эта сцена выглядит в исполнении Дель Монако и Росс! Я не буду хвастать, если скажу, что очень хорошо знаю творчество Марио дель Монако и уж кого, кого, но только не Дель Монако можно обвинить в слабой актерской игре.. Он не только фантастический певец, но и ПРЕКРАСНЫЙ АКТЁР! А уж роль Поллиона-это его "боевой конь", которую он стабильно исполнял с начала 50-х годов.. Считаю его Поллиона - лучшим и непревзойденным до сих пор!!!

I don't really care this excellent mezzo gets lost in part of the duet: a young unknown singer that almost outsings Del Monaco can do more than that and still deserve an ovation. Can you think of any mezzo nowadays that could do the half this one does, even among the most well-known ones? You're lucky if you get to hear them from the upstairs levels of the theatre.

[@user-kp1ur9lk7x]

Eccezionale il mezzosoprano. Chi è? Supera di gran lungo in musicalità Del Monaco, che si rivolge a lei non come un amante a una donna amata, ma come un guerriero a un altro guerriero da piegare! Grande Marione, voce potentissima, ma nessuna tenerezza, nessun calore, nessuna sfumatura.

It has been told to me that Del Monaco's singing suffered or was lacking after the 1963 as a result of his " incidente stradale" in 1963, however there is absolutely no evidence of that here in this recording, several years after that unfortunate event. He sounds as strong as ever.

[@goldenagerecordings5295]

True and I've also heard this story very often. In fact, he had some problems early 1960s. Before his car accident.

[@sugarbist]

December 1963, MDM was in an almost fatal car accident, where all his ribs were broken, his pelvis and kidneys were severely damaged, having to be on kidney dialysis treatments, ''which are very tiring'', a few times a week until he passed. Around 1962 to 1963 he was experimenting with a higher brighter sound that is evidenced on his Montovani LP as well as his Lamento Di Federico here on YT where he sings the entire aria mostly in mezza voce. He returned to the stage in an Otello performance late in 1964 with is original production or technique. Even though his voice never returned to what it once was in the 1950s, it was still a most formidable voice compared to anyone who was around including Corelli. MDM was a master of his complicated technique and committed his life to the art form of opera.

Ross was such a good singer and a good, if not a great, Norma. The voice is huge, luscious, and reasonably agile. What I miss in her performance is the play or light and shadow, and a lot of the singing seems unremittingly loud. I find her acting quite excellent and a perfect fit for this music. It's so tragic that Bell's Palsy ended her career.

[@johnvonterzian5454]

@@remomazzetti8757 Reply to Remo Mazzetti: It is not a perfect performance. No performance is ever perfect. Also, the recording of this performance would be considered to be primitive by today's standards. Elinor Ross, a relative unknown, was substituted at the last minute and she gave the performance of her life, I think. As I noted before, if it had been me, I would have left in the ,,coda" in 'the Pollione Adalgisa Duet. But one cannot deny, I don't think that it is probably the best performance ever, particularly for del Monaco and Vighi. One has to pierce the veil of the cuts and transpositions of every performance, not only this one, in order to hear the essence of what it sounds like. I think that is true of all recorded performances. Even when one attends a live performance, different people hear different things and probably that is a good thing.

[@philipc67]

Very good quality film of this famous performance of NORMA, Berlin January 1967. The Oroveso scene which begins the final sequence is missing but it is a minor peeve. Good mezzo, even if she gets lost during the second duet cabaletta. Mario del Monaco? Yes ok he still has a stentorian voice and prolongs every high or strong note he can but one hears the reduced vocal volume compared to the mid-50s, and of course he offers virtually nil characterisation. Now, Elinor Ross is indeed admirable in this famously impossible title role. Her stamina is impressive, her fortissimo high Cs glass-shattering and there are some beautifully spun passages (Son io ...), although she leaves a lot to be desired where delicate, subtle singing is needed, and her trills are nonexistent. But her stage presence is very pedestrian with exaggerated gestures and too many rolled Rrrrs. A spurned housewife she may be; a divine Druid priestess she is not. Best filmed live Norma? Montserrat Caballé at Orange, 20 July 1974. Best recorded live Norma? Callas on the opening night of La Scala, 7 December 1955. Sublime...

[@sugarbist]

MDM'S reduced vocal volume? He's 52 years old here and the voice was still very formidable during the years after his 1963 almost fatal car accident, which required him to be on kidney dialysis 2 to 3 times a week until he passed. In 1950, MDM was 35 years old. In spite of some criticism that may have come his way, MDM still had a 35 year career and was revered by many of his peers, including Bergonzi, Corelli, Di Stefano, Tebaldi, Hines, Baum, Tucker and Lauri Volpi, Tucci Protti and Domingo to name a few. His is a voice that had to be heard in the theater to be fully appreciated. For some interesting reading, you may take a look at 'Naamloos document - Opera Nostalgia'' Looking back on Mario Del Monaco by David Akins where he mentions that Bjorling and MDM were his favorite tenors, but also writes about other singers as well. Enjoy
