Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A Zesty, Warmly Humorous Pasquale.......2006-04-16

Having just heard the Met Broadcast of 'Don Pasquale' with Anna Netrebko and Juan Diego Florez made me retreat to one of my own recordings as an encore. While this may not be the best Pasquale on CD (there is plenty of room for a new release, perhaps with the Met cast...), this recording has its own special treats.

The Munich Radio Orchestra bounces and glides along the airbourne tempi as led by Roberto Abbado and the cast includes a marvelous Thomas Allen and Renato Bruson in roles they own, along with the rather lightweight (but appropriately so) Frank Lopardo and Eva Mei.

The wonderful aspect of this recording is the approach to comedy - never silly, always with dignity intact, and always sung with great respect to the musical line. That doesn't always happen with opera buffo! A solid cast and director and a well-recorded sound. Grady Harp, April 06

5 out of 5 stars Perfect.......2000-07-26

What gorgeous music! What a perfect recording! It's all there, musically, but it's great fun, too, never taking itself too seriously. Go with the Gramophone review, above. Mei and Bruson not only sing beautifully, they're fine vocal actors, as well. Thomas Allen is, of course, excellent. But I love this recording most because of Lopardo. I adore his warm, rich, never-shrill tenor, and I don't think anyone sings more expressively. "Com'e gentil," the serenade with minimal accompaniment is perfect for him -- he goes from tender to joyously loud and sings the diminuendo with absolute control. It's breathtakingly beautiful. I've never seen this opera, but I almost feel as if I don't need to, because this recording is so visually inspiring. Get it -- you'll love it.

5 out of 5 stars Splendid Donizetti comedy.......2000-05-26

If what you want are bright, delightful romps full of bravura singing, Donizetti's comedies are hard to beat, and Don Pasquale is no exception. The opera's main flaw is that, like Cosi Fan Tutte, its plot centers around a rather mean-spirited, uncalled-for deception, and it is difficult to sympathize with the perpetrators. But the exuberance and cheer of the music keep one's mind off such concerns. Eva Mei's performance is very fine, as she and her character act up a storm, capriciously switching moods as Norina wraps the duped Pasquale and her languishing lover Ernesto around her little finger. Renato Bruson and Thomas Allen are always a pleasure to hear. The only weak link in the cast is Frank Lopardo as Ernesto; his tenor is too often thin, whiny, and strained, although when he goes both high and loud he seems to call up some hidden reserves. He's far from ideal, but he's quite listenable, and does not spoil the opera by any means. While a newcomer to Donizetti would do better to get the matchless L'Elisir d'Amore with Pavarotti and Sutherland, this recording is a perfect follow-up for anyone who longs for more of the same.
