This is a reissue of a recording that was previously issued by Nuova Era and Mondo Musica. It allows us to hear Marilyn Horne in one of her signature roles, and it was presumably for her that this production was mounted at Venice’s La Fenice. Horne’s performance is what one would expect; she tosses off the coloratura with ease, and her performance is very assured. Her colleagues provide generally good support. Gasdia does not make as strong an impression as some of her recorded competition as Almirena, but her singing is technically assured.
The La Fenice Orchestra uses modern instruments, which is fine with me; why should the period-instrument crowd get to have all the fun? They generally perform well, but because this release is based on live performances (parts of five performances were used), orchestra and principals are occasionally out of sync. The edition used is a mishmash of performances from Handel’s day. The music for Rinaldo, Almirena, Armida, and Argante is mostly taken from the original production in 1711. Goffredo’s music is taken from the 1731 revival when the role, originally sung by a female alto, was transposed to tenor; the Magician’s music also comes from the 1731 revival, transposed from alto to bass. The role of Eustazio is cut, as it was as early as the 1717 revival, with one aria and some recitatives transferred to Goffredo. A scene for Rinaldo from the 1731 revival is inserted in act III. The score is heavily cut; aside from Eustazio’s three remaining arias, seven arias are removed; one aria is moved from act I to act II; there are many cuts in the recitative, and delayed cadences are used.
The source of this recording must have been official tapes; the sound is very good stereo. The audience is quite well behaved; only applause and the occasional cough testify to its presence. Anyone looking for a basic representation of Handel’s opera obviously should look elsewhere. I recommend the Hogwood recording on Decca. But for anyone wanting to luxuriate in a prime Marilyn Horne performance, this can be recommended with confidence.
