5 out of 5 stars Verdian Royalty.......2002-04-27

Simon Boccanegra is an exceptional opera in every way. The music is varied, seeming to come distinctly from all three of Verdi's compositional periods. If one is well versed in Verdi you may be reminded of Otello, Falstaff, Don Carlo, even Corsaro when listening. This music has the pulse of the earlier works, the dramatic pointedness of the middle works, and the greatness and pastoral qualities which occur occasionally in the very last works. It is lovely and altogether unique.

This recording is one of par excellence. The conducting is precise and driven and by turns delicate and warm. The singers are fabulous. de los Angeles gives a beautiful accented Verdian performance. She makes the most ravishing sounds imaginable. She displays power, accent, delicate phrasing, sweetness, legato and womanliness all by turns. The discovery however is Mr. Campora, who is a true Verdian. He sings burnished tones with the devil in his veins. His phrasings are long and accented, his pianissimi softly shaded, his tone is passionate even if at times quite tight. He had all that Carlo Bergonzi had and even squillo, which Mr. B did not have. I am amazed at his Verdian style. Christoff gives a great performance as does Mr. Gobbi.

It is a great well-rounded performance!

5 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for Verdi Fans.......2001-03-17

Here it is, fully remastered, with classic performances by Christoff and Gobbi. Except for Abbado's digital version on DGG, there's no better "Simon" on record. Certainly the sound is still dry and the pace of conducting a bit brisk at times, but the entire performance, not the least of which the prelude and first act, are delivered beautifully.
