Rinaldo di George Frideric Handel_Regia Pier Luigi Pizzi

Registrato al Teatro Dante Alighieri di Ravenna_Stagione d'Opera e Danza 2011_2012

[@h.k9697]

If some people think that these baroque opera performances are extravagant, I tell them that that is nothing compared to Handel's time. In Rinaldo, he used all kinds of scenic resources, special effects that simulated thunder and lightning, fireworks, statues, even water machines. This is known since the British writer, critic and politician of that time, Joseph Addison, said that Rinaldo was an extravagant opera, very new for people in London (that's why it was so successful) and described everything that I am saying.

[@energy5289]

Yes I heard they were more like a 'party night' with entertainment, food, drink and friends - more like a nightclub. We need more of that idea - less of the stuffiness. Most people sit there like a corpse - unmoved - like not a single note in the music has touched them! Many are way too serious and precious and a tad pretentious.

[@Musica-xo3uv]

A masterpiece. Great orchestration, masterful counterpoint, vocal pyrotechnics, drama, lyricism, exquisite arias that I love, "lascia ch'io pianga", "venti turbini", "furie terribili", "or la tromba", "cara sposa", beautiful duets , brilliant orchestral scenes like the "battaglia". Rinaldo represents the entire peak of the baroque essence. Handel was the best composer of operas and oratorios of the Baroque, without a doubt.

[@mimikrya8794]

Unlike most of today's opera directors who benefit from additional directing of the recording, this masterpiece by Pier Luigi Pizzi is best seen live.

Благодарю за чудесную музыку,за вашу красивую оперу-это счастье,слушать Генделя!

[@anaromero294]

qué belleza de ópera. La música de Haendel es una maravilla. En vivo tiene que ser impresionante

[@manlioerta7221]

La regia di Pier Luigi Pizzi , assolutamente originale, con una colorazione fantastica, crea una situazione onirica che mi fa pensare a Pedro Calderòn De La Barca ( La vita è sogno). La musica di Handel ( con quella di Bach ) è la massima espressione del barocco , nel quale la voce gareggia con gli strumenti e ne ripete il suono (Narciso e Eco , di Ovidio).. Siamo ai massimi livelli dell'arte musicale e scenica e giustamente John Mainwaring (Memorie della vita del fu G.F.Haendel, EDT) , raccontando la vita di Handel ne esalta la grandezza, come espressione della Natura, della Fortuna e della Provvidenza . Spettacolo bellissimo e appassionante.

[@gianlucamattei264]

Regia originalissima amo molto le opere originali non sopporto quelle moderne che spesso si vedono...

[@alvarito45]

After "Lascia ch'io pianga" divine recitativo and aria: "Basta". Incredible the grandeur!!!

[@alvarito45]

OMG such a giant composer was Händel!!! His music is from other world!! Absolutely amazing marvelous!! From the Sinfonia, the first recitativo, the first aria... From then on all is pure perfection. Singers must be excellent to perform this super Master Piece. OUTSTANDING!!

[@vitellia]

STUNNING! What a GORGEOUS and luscious production! I absolutely love them as marble statues, Bernini or Michelangelo, I can't tell. LOL And I also love that it is the 1731 version of "Rinaldo"--with the tenor Goffredo and the role of Almirena expanded for la Strada, I believe--which is not often staged, let alone recorded. While this is a regional production in Italy, the standards are so high, and perhaps this is the more "correct" in terms of the size of the theatre.

[@energy5289]

58:43 The best music ever written.

Grazie mille, visivamente ancora piu bello che a orecchio❤️

[@beetlejump]

I'll give them an A for visual stylization - set, costumes, and make-up. The production really has its own look and I am with them. Singing and vocal stylizations are excellent as well.

[@deepfugue]

+1 for the man with the red cap and horse.

[@mjmacmtenor]

Interesting combination of very stylized visuals - the period costumes, the "living statue" makeup, etc., the wonderfully flowing capes - and very emotionally committed and (dare I say) truthful expression. It really works!

My 2nd exposure to Handel . . . (beyond "Messiah"). Here in the Americas, if you're not looking for Handel -- you won't find Handel other than Christmas "Messiah" and Easter complete "Messiah". I really like. So much interplay from pit up to the stage. Obviously requires concentration and caring for the art form (which is pretty darn nice).

[@pablodelcaminoalonso5988]

¡Fantástico! Sin embargo, echo de menos una voz más grave en el rol de Rinaldo. De todas maneras, el conjunto es magnífico y llevaba tiempo busando esta representación desde que vi unas fotos de Sonia Prina.

[@monteiroeduardo9338]

Pienso lo mismo. Todo está maravilloso y perfecto en esta produccion,pero me gustaría aun más un Rinaldo con una voz más de contralto.

[@treffech]

Is it possible to buy this recording in DVD?

[@pablodelcaminoalonso5988]

¿Existe alguna grabación en DVD de esta producción?

[@robertmoroney3461]

The emperor of Austria, told Mozart: "no ballet in my opera." In the case of this Handel opera the quotation should be: "no statutes or mannequin/ dolls in my opera." It's supposed to be about the crusades and the seize of Jerusalem. A few live action scenes with jousting lances and swords would be appreciated.

[@h.k9697]

Shut up, man. The baroque opera is extravagant. Handel in Rinaldo used all kinds of scenic resources, special effects that simulated thunder and lightning, fireworks, statues, even water machines.

A look at Ethernity ?? Eine Augenblick auf Aetaernitaet? Pier Luigi Pizzi makes it possible. He undestands the meaning of "Deus ex-machina", and has set it into practice on this stage. BRAVO, BRAVISIMO

[@albertoagazzani6607]

Stupendo, ma quello originale del 1985 rimane insuperabile!

[@roybooth7904]

What a delight - but I struggled to watch such a visual treat in this inspiring but rather too pixilated stream. I didn't have much hope, but Naxos produced a DVD of this production in 2021, and it is available to buy on Amazon, so that's what I have gone for to get better sound and visuals. But just how clever this direction and design is - those Christian 'paragons' elevated on their mobile plinths. It's just the kind of subversive touch that the subject matter - Crusades, essentially - requires. Thanks for posting!

In the second act (58:42). Friend, listen carefully.

[@ignaziocardinale6327]

L'allestimento è abbastanza "barocco" e per fortuna non è quelle cose strane ambientate sulla luna o nel perido nazzista (W Pizzi). L'azione è ridotta al minimo, peccato. I cantati sono costretti a fare il minimo indispensabile quando il teatro Haendeliano richiede maggiore movimento in scena. La direzione è troppo accelerata... non è una direzione è una corsa e questo direttore deve ringraziare che ha a disposizione voci immense e che cantano il repertorio barocco da anni. La versione putroppo non è quella del 1711 ma una versione che Haendel ha scritto (la trerza se non ricordo male) anche perché alcuni ruoli come quello di Eustazio sono eliminati e altri hanno cambiato la tessitura.

[@taf44tt8io]

Preferisco, di gran lunga, la versione del 1711. In disco, quella diretta da HOGWOOD con un cast di primordine salvo Cecilia Bartoli che non mi è mai andata a genio. Nemmeno io capisco perché Dantone corra come un pazzo......

[@shadbolt4687]

Don't see the relevance of JSB to this post as he never wrote opera. He and Handel had little in common .

[@Musica-xo3uv]

For me, the best composer of the Baroque was Händel, not Bach. I love his operas, senenatas, dramatic oratorios and concerti grossi. Very dramatic and cosmopolitan style. Bach did not compose any opera, he was a religious fanatic of the church and he has nothing in common with Händel. In this context, Bach's name is totally irrelevant.

[@Musica-xo3uv]

@@shadbolt4687 Exactly, the name of Bach here has no relevance. What does a dramatic theater composer have in common with a religious church fanatic? Nothing. Handel's operas and oratorios have been a discovery for me. They are masterpieces, the highest of the Baroque.

[@MassimoCrispi]

ma che fretta che ha questo direttore... sembra che debba sempre battere i record di velocità! Esiste un limite fisiologico per le voci, che hanno un altro tipo di articolazione e respirazione rispetto agli strumenti. O forse doveva prendere l'ultimo treno e quindi ha accelerato tutto

[@F93HD2]

Si sa che Dantone ha sempre prediletto tempi ultraveloci..dopo se i cantanti tirano indietro è sempre colpa loro..

[@robertocuban]

the staging and choreography are tacky and ridiculous
