Gioachino Rossini - Semiramide (Frizza/ Ligorio)

[@alvarogarciabarbosa3199]

Rossini y el "Bel canto" un gran sinónimo conjuntamente con Bellini y Donizetti. Esas florituras son adorables, encantadoras. Grandioso Rossini!!

[@leonardomauretti6742]

Bellissima produzione di Semiramide alla Fenice, che è poi il SUO Teatro. Bene tutto, cantanti, orchestra, direttore, messa in scena e regia. Grazie per averla condivisa. Un plauso particolare a Teresa Iervolino.

Tuve el acierto de ir a una de estas funciones, en la siempre maravillosa Venecia. En una de las salas del teatro estaba expuesto el manuscrito original de la obra, recientemente restaurado. Fue una función brillante, la puesta en escena luce mucho más en directo que en esta grabación. Iervolino soberbia. Los otros tres sobresalientes. Cuatro horas que pasaron en un suspiro. Una noche memorable.

[@kallekasper7297]

Il terzo di sèguito lavoro òttimo di maestro Frizza, che ho sento recentemente: "Aida" al Teatro La Fenice, "I Pirata" al Teatro alla Scala, e "Semiramide" adesso. Lui sta alla fila prima degli direttori italiani e quindi mondiali. Il cast buono, soprattutto Signore/Signori Iervolino e Esposito. Ma, ahimè, la Signora Pratt, la cantante eccellenta, ha i grandi problemi con la voce. Paragonate la in "Convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali" (La Scala, 2009), e adesso in "Semiramide". La sua voce qui - come l'uccello ferito. Ma lei era molto suggestiva alle ambedue finale. Il allestimento anche non pessimo, mi piace l'immagìne di Nino, quello è la scena diffìcilissima per ogni regista. Penso, che Rossini sarèbbe contento.

[@papagen00]

I heard June Anderson, Chris Merritt and Sam Ramey in this opera in the 1990's. Today's Rossini singers just don't cut it for me. Semiramide's coloratura aria "Bel raggio lusinghier", as sung here, is rather embarassing to hear. Vergogna!

[@aurelianocongiu7002]

fate uscire anche il DVD/Bluray

[@wilsonwatt9283]

For whatever reason, the Arsace swallows her voice in many passages rather than keeping the tone clear and forward. She clearly has the range and technical capacity but if she keeps forcing the voice down into her throat she will not last long. Compare this to Pratt's perfectly placed, forward resonant singing to hear the technical issue involved handled correctly.

[@virtuosacoloratura9740]

Opera straordinaria con alcune delle più belle pagine di musica scritte da Rossini.. io qui sento non un grande gusto nelle variazioni e spesso un'intonazione non precisa; siamo molto lontani dalle esecuzioni che hanno fatto storia con Sutherland e Anderson in testa in questi ruoli. Peccato..
