Product Description
Chronique amazon.fr
À bien y regarder, l'on sait bien moins de choses qu'on l'eût cru sur Antonio Vivaldi, compositeur populaire entre tous. Pour preuve, la (re)découverte de ses opéras qui, chaque année, apporte son lot de surprises et d'étonnement auditif. L'auteur des Quatre Saisons a même été un amoureux de l'opéra, pour lequel il a consacré beaucoup de son temps. Après Admeto, Rodrigo et Arminio de Haendel, Alan Curtis exhume cette partition lyrique du prêtre roux : un premier enregistrement mondial ! Créé en 1724, à l'occasion d'un carnaval, Il Giustino est une œuvre commandée au compositeur vénitien par le Teatro Capranica de Rome. L'excellence du plateau vocal réuni autour de Alan Curtis permet de goûter pleinement aux beautés insoupçonnées de cet opéra. --Pierre Guillaume

This CD Set is Overflowing with Fine Music, Aug 30 2006
By Robert M. Nichols "Music Lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vivaldi: Il Giustino (Audio CD)
This CD was released in 2002 and I find it hard to believe no one has reviewed it before now. I've just finished listening to it for the first time and was stuck by the elegance and gracefulnes of the music. I suppose that's why we love Baroque music so much. It is among the most refined music ever written equaling, if not surpassing, the Classical age. And Alan Curtis is conducting his Il Complesso Barocco so that should tip would-be-listeners off right away that it will be a quality product. I mean he's won three awards since 2002 for his interpretations of Handel operas. But back to Il Giustino. For what a layman's opinion is worth the singing on these two CDs is superb and the constuction and performance of the arias is complex without being inaccessaible. What I mean is the music is wonderfully inventive, constantly opening new vistas of sound and then ingeniously resolving them. The recitatives are thankfully brief. In short your ears will tingle with delight for quite a while after you've finished this opera. And I rarely say that upon only one listening. I can't wait till my second time and third and so on! Don't hesitate. Support baroque opera and treat yourself at the same time!!P.S. Part of the opera was performed live on October 8, 2001 in Rotterdam and part in the studio the next day. Yet the acoustics in the opera house are so great you won't be able to tell which part is which!
Listmania!
