Sobre este producto
  • EMI did not include this in the canon when they planned the transfer of their Callas operas to CD, and it joins the collection only now that others, such as the Lisbon and Milan Traviata (reviewed on page 1558), have been added to the list. There are good reasons, quite apart from copyright and so forth, for keeping it separate: it is not so carefully produced as the others, the casting is barely adequate, the recorded sound is dry, the text incomplete. That last act does bear the authentic stamp. Medea's opening phrase, her invocation to the gods, has tremendous concentration and a vivid sense of presence. The fierce internal debate finds expression in subtle inflexions (the softening portamento in ''natura'', the steeling tone of ''morir dovran''). The harrowing cries of ''Lontan! lontan! serpenti'' and ''No, cari figli, no'' give way to the exhaustion of ''Son vinta gia'', and the aria ''Del fiero duol'' calls on that fine reserve of dark colours in the lower and, by this time, most beautiful part of her voice. So, for this alone (and of course there is more) we must value the recording. Among its other attractions is the young Scotto as Glauce, clear-voiced and already an artist who draws attention. Mirto Picchi as Giasone makes surprisingly little of the character yet sings well. The Creonte lacks character and style, and the Neris (whose solo is the one point of restful beauty in the opera) gives a routine account. Serafin conducts with a good sharp beat, but I don't feel closer to the music with him. The cuts are fairly savage, including some of Medea's part. The recording lacks atmosphere and though the CD transfer ensures maximum clarity it does not produce likeable quality. In the Beethoven aria its clarity is positively cruel, exposing the wear on the voice with all the ruthlessness of a light shone into an ageing face: still, an apt choice for a fill-up and an expressive, valiant performance. -- Gramophone [2/1991]
