Movie Reviews of Verdi - Luisa Miller
Movie Review: Luisa Miller
Summary: 5 Stars
This has long been a favorite production - I became enamored with it way back in April, 1979 when it was shown on PBS. I have an old, very crude copy of it on a Beta Tape from the time it was broadcast. I was very pleased to see it released on DVD. Aside from the singers being much older today, the opera is very clean and fresh looking.
The music (for those that know this Opera) is positively rivoting and beautiful. It's amazing that this was dropped from the Met repetoire after the 1929 season but was resumed, I believe, in the late sixties.
Beautifully done here. Amended 6/8/09
Movie Review: Favorite lower voices!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't care too much for this opera and I usually like Verdi, even the obscure operas. I got this for several of my favorite lower voices, Milnes, Gaiotti, and Morris. And in spite of Scotto, the cream curdler, and overdone Domingo. Gaoitti and Milnes are past prime vocally, but still well worth listening to. Morris still seems prime. These 3 all have a lyrical quality you rarely hear in the lower voices. And to have them all together in one opera is a treat. I just fast forward thru Scotto and save my ears.Movie Review: I'll Second That!
Summary: 5 Stars
A totally agree with everything Juan said. It seems like it was a night when everyone's singing was definitely ON! We are lucky to have DGG release this since it wasn't one of the earlier commercial releases on VHS or LD. There are a MANY wonderful video broadcast performances -- let's hope for more. Crossing my fingers for the "Il Trittico" with Scotto in all three acts.Movie Review: Opera Lover
Summary: 5 Stars
This opera, although performed many years ago, transferred very well to DVD. The performance is excellent, the principals are in great voice, and the sound and picture are very satisfactory for an older recording. I would highly recommend this recording.Movie Review: Another triumph for Scotto and the MET Opera
Summary: 5 Stars
Renata Scotto triumphs yet again with this 1979 production of Verdi's opera from the MET Opera. She shows you exactly what made her stand out from other sopranos, with her wonderful expressive soprano and vivid characterisation. Five stars!
