CD Reviews

Gardiner the Champion

John D. Pilkey | Santa Clarita, CA USA | 10/01/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Normally I avoid highlight recordings, being a completist in such matters, more oriented to plots, settings. texts and themes than to performances. I purchased this highlight record, however, because I was already familiar with the opera from Wagner's German version on RCA vinyl and wanted to see what Gardiner does with it. Gardiner had already won my respect with versions of Handel's Hercules and Solomon on vinyl boxed sets. In response to the German version, I found the music a bit stodgy; but in Gardiner's version of the original French everything glows brilliantly. Unlike the more exciting Iphigenie en Tauride, the earlier opera possesses a highly ceremonial character that some might find stilted. Nevertheless Gardiner makes a brilliant case for it. He is in fact the champion of 18th century music offering fine examples of Mozart's Idomeneo and La Clemenza di Tito. William Christie has done the same thing for the 17th century and Rameau in the 1730s. These revivalists have shifted my focus back from the 19th century to serious opera composed before 1800."
