 Sparkling and fresh August 29, 2006

I am not a Verdi fan, but I simply had to have this recording. I bought it five years ago and I am still enjoying it.
I come to Verdi "from behind" - I am normally a listener to earlier and, strangley, later music. The world of the grand opera of Verdi (and Puccini) are somewhat alien to me. I prefer Monteverdi, Rameau, Lully, Purcell, Handel and Mozart, on one hand, and Berg, Shostakovich, Debussy, Stravinsky and Schoenberg, on the other.
So, I am pleased to have a period/authentic instrument recording of a Verdi opera in my collection.
This recording is marvellous and the opera is a masterpiece. I love every second of this fresh, bright, clear, exciting and very alive recording. Then singers are great and the orchestra is colourful, "edgy" and energetic.
Lovers of "Early Music" should investigate and lovers of standard grand opera should give this recording a go - to see what these "early music" people can bring to more recent music!
I only hope Sir John Eliot Gardiner and his Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique record some more Verdi operas. They are supposed to be recording Bizet's Carmen soon.
