Verdi's Don Carlo is a problematic piece. Should it be in Italian or French? How much of the original French musical setting should be included? I've known this set for a while and have some reservations about the singing, that of the women in particular, but it's the inclusion of the whole of Verdi's original First Act which makes the set worth acquiring. Most of the cast are the MET house cast, but the orchestra and chorus are well up to standard. Levine conducts strongly and is clearly convinced in the value of the usually cut scenes. It just makes better sense of the whole story. Other sets available from Giulini, with Caballé and Domingo are much better sung, but lack the scene which explains what Carlo & Elisabetta are doing in Fontainebleau. The DG set in awkward French from Abbado is a little on the gauche side, but Abbado deserves points for trying to get as much as he can of the text on disc. It's a shame that the singers are less able to sing well in French. But where are there eloquent French singers to make a lucid attempt at doing the langauge justice? Only Roberto Alagna on the Pappano set, but German and American singers show what the difference is and how hard it is to achieve a resonable standard! Even that EMI set omits the plot setting first scene in Fontainebleau! Though that would make it a much longer opera!
Carlo (Michael Alexander), Philip (Ferrucio Furlanetto) are fine, and the rest of the cast do their best, but Millo is ill at ease as Elisabetta, as is the Eboli.
There is no libretto supplied with the set (Verdi - Don Carlowhich comes at a reasonable price) but an ENO Opera guide is essential for getting the various versions of the text sorted out.
