Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.com

While Handel went to England to become the most successful opera composer of his time, Hasse went to Dresden to become the most famous opera composer in Germany. Cleofide, like Handel's Poros, is based on Metastasio's libretto about Alexander the Great's magnanimity, but focuses more on the Indian queen Cleofide and her fidelity to her lover Poros, despite his jealousy. The cast in this recording includes one male and two female sopranos plus three countertenors; and the unfortunate result of all those high voices is that it is hard to tell the characters apart. The men (apart from the incisive Dominique Visse as Alexander) do a fair amount of falsetto hooting at uncertain pitches; the women are much better, and the ubiquitous Emma Kirkby (as Cleofide) brings more color into her voice than usual. Under William Christie's knowledgeable direction, everything moves along briskly and the orchestra plays brightly. Hasse didn't have Handel's gift for melody and characterization, but Cleofide is well written and imaginatively orchestrated and contains many good tunes. It will be of particular interest to Baroque opera enthusiasts; for others, it is an interesting and attractive curiosity. Good notes and excellent sound. --Alex Morin

5.0étoiles sur 5 Bravo! Bellissimo! Highly Recommended!, Avril 3 2004
Par Un client
There's a reason why male and female roles sung in high registers dominated opera for over 200 years. I think this recording of Cleofide can help us understand why. Today's audiences are not acclimated to the vocal musical aesthetic of the 17th and 18th centuries. Some people may have to go through a period of attitude adjustment to break through what is essentially a modern gender, rather than musical, prejudice. It doesn't take long for the sheer beauty of these arias' melodies and the skill and taste of the singers' execution and ornamentation to shine forth. Hasse's intimate understanding of the capabilities of the human voice alone or in conjunction with other instruments is evident here. The performances of both singers and orchestra in this recording are wonderful, with many sublime moments. One only wonders how much better it could get if there were still castrati around to sing the male contralto and soprano parts...

5.0étoiles sur 5 A gorgeous revelation, Janv. 19 2004
Par David Basskin (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Cleofide has long been one of my favourite baroque operas. Unlike the previous reviewer, I'm not put off by the high voices. From the opening sinfonia to the final chorus, this is a gorgeous revelation of one magnificent, tuneful aria after another. I've been listening to this set for a decade and I've recommended it to many friends. If the only baroque opera you know is Handel or Vivaldi, add this to your collection and you won't be sorry!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Worthy acheivement but too long and squeaky for comfort., Jui 15 1999
Par Un client
This set has the distinction of being the only opera set I've ever let go of second hand. The high voices are just to much to take over 4 CDs. Yet on the other hand Michael Schneider's 2CD and 4 soprano Paride ed Elena by Gluck (also Capriccio half the length and a third of the price of this set) is very listenable. So maybe it is just length?

Christie's cast includes Emma Kirkby, Agnes Mellon (sopranos), Derek Lee Ragin, Randall K Wong (male sopranos) and Dominique Visse, David Cordier (counter tenors).

If you aren't familiar with Hasse maybe start with Schneider's 2-for-1 Piramo e Tisbe before buying this.
