Rossini's La donna del lago ("The Lady of the Lake") is a lush, positively verdant dramatic opera, first performed in 1819, that deserves to be better known. Derived from Sir Walter Scott's famous poem, the story concerns love both unrequited and requited amid rebellious Scottish clans, as the titular lady is wooed by two rivals while her heart is pledged to another. Given Rossini's luxuriant orchestration and emphasis on romance, one can't help feeling that the composer had the hills of Tuscany more in mind than the rugged Scottish highlands. A succession of highly charged scenas contrast with languid melodies, such as Ellen's delightful introductory "Oh mattutini albori", making this a less bloodily melodramatic companion-piece to Donizetti's Scott-inspired Lucia di Lammermoor.
This recording from Milan's La Scala was made at a live performance in 1992, though the fact is hardly evident and certainly not obtrusive (there is very little audience distraction, with applause only at the end of acts). Riccardo Muti conducts a more robust reading than Maurizio Pollini's previous studio recording (on Sony). His soloists–led by June Anderson and Rockwell Blake–tackle the extreme vocal demands of the score with evident gusto, though sometimes with less subtlety than would be evident in the studio. The result is a recording that deserves a strong recommendation on its own merits.–Mark Walker
