Garcia (Sevilla ,1775-Paris 1832), is, although he does not know, one of our greatest theatrical composers, renowned in his time as an excellent singer and performer of Rossini, great singing teacher, father of singers also Maria Malibran, Pauline Viardot and Manuel Garcia, a teacher, Laryngoscope inventor and propagator of the choir of his father who is still in force and is highly regarded in the professional field. Garcia, the father was an entrepreneur opera as such introduced the opera in New York and to top it off, wrote some 50 operas. Well, this character is still almost unknown to many English fans, although in recent years is rediscovering its shape. Thank goodness! Don Chisciotte
Comic opera in two acts, written in Italian, which is based on Cervantes' work but includes characters outside of the historical action novel. Was released, apparently in the Park Theatre, New York in 1827 and in 2005, celebrate the fourth centenary of Don Quixote has been recovered by the English conductor Juan de Udaeta who worked on the score of Music Library of the City of Madrid, an organization that holds a unique collection of quixotic scores of more than one hundred works. A curious detail of the score of this Don Quixote is on the cover appears as author "E. Garcia ", we must consider that the" E "stands for Emanuel.
The opera is a product of the time with obvious influences from Mozart and Rossini, although there are obvious moments of Hispanic origin as Dorotea's aria ("Nato mode), the sextet's second act (" Qual Ardir! ") Or as the end of the work. Despite the interest that we deserve this opera, was a colleague that she was extraordinarily demanding. I wish it were forever. It is true that the work is hard on the vocals, but we must not forget that it's written by a singer who was very demanding even with himself (his biography and his daughter Malibrán is full of details that attest). This Don Quixote
Manuel Garcia was released in Tomelloso (Ciudad Real), 12 November 2005, after overcoming serious difficulties that threatened its staging, with the support, late of the State Company for commemorations , Public Enterprise "Don Quijote de la Mancha 2005" and the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha. If the author has not been named Garcia, might have had more luck.
This CD was recorded live at the Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, 7 and 8 April 2006, led by Juan de Udaeta it was who opened the score in Tomelloso but with a different cast that of the occasion. The fact that the recording is "live" (wrong name we use as a result of direct translation from English "live recording", as if he had a recording that is not "live") assumes the existence of sounds that disfigure the listening at home (steps, changes in the "spatiality" of voices, the singers dark at some point ...) but has the merit to get away from perfection aseptic studio recordings, where sometimes there is more work sound engineers which would be acceptable. Attentive listening to these two CD's view, at some point, a orchestra that seems out of adjustment, although we are not able to determine whether it is because of some misalignment or the result of inadequate planning a recording technique. Don Chisciotte
requires a large cast, here served by a team of young singers who are facing their respective roles with varying results. Angel Rodriguez, tenor, plays a Don Quixote more dramatic than lyrical, finding something right in the acute sometime. Javier Galán, a baritone who gives life to Sancho, tremulous voice expresses something with enough technical mastery. José Julián Frontal, also baritone, has taken over the role of Fernando, his exposure the character is clearly and effectively with a command of written agility by Garcia. Jon Plazaola, tenor, is comfortable in the position of the character of Cardenio and shows his lyrical ring with ease and confidence. Cristina Obregon, soprano, takes over the character of Dorothy and solves with ease its interventions, especially the two arias that is the protagonist, although in some instances has given us the feeling of being a little uncomfortable. We especially liked the pairing of Aurelio Puente (playing the bachelor Perulino) and Tomeu Bibi (in the barber's Radipelo), both very well in individual and very conjoined when involved simultaneously.
The orchestra sounds good, except those "Mismatches" referred to and responds to the direction of Udaeta with diligence and effectiveness, highlighting the dynamic drawings and color the music. The Intermezzo Choir, correct in his not very numerous interventions.
