Movie Reviews of Stefano Landi - Il Sant'Alessio / Jaroussky, Cencic, Guillon, Bertin, Les Arts Florissants, Christie, Lazar (Th??tre de Caen 2007)
Movie Review: At last an Authentic Baroque Opera
Summary: 5 Stars
I am overjoyed by this DVD and it's production. I'm in total agreement with the three reviwers who praised this performance. I'd only like to add two comments. One is about the use of gestures in this performance. I believe from reading into current scholarship on the performance of "Baroque" opera of the mid- seventeeth century that the exagerated gestures used in this production are akin to that used at the time of the first presentations. We cannot know exactly, but I've heard several noted scholars voice this opinion. I think it added greatly to the performance. Secondly I am so very happy that Wm. Christie and director B. Lazar used setting, costumes and production that were relevant to the music. So very often in previous Christie products we have beautifully played music and great singing in a production completely irrelevant to the piece, author or period in which written. All together now: no more Eurotrash productions; cheers for Authentic Baroque Opera.
