Mascagni: Cavalleria rusticana, MutiVerfügbarkeit für Abholungen konnte nicht geladen werden
Muti's forces provided all the passion imaginable, yet never descended into sensation or vulgarity. One basked in the idiomatic italianata of it all. This was the most beautiful orchestral performance in memory of Mascagni's seminal score.
„Mutis Truppen lieferten alle erdenkliche Leidenschaft und verfielen doch nie der Sensation oder Vulgarität. Man sonnte sich in der idiomatischen italianata des Ganzen. Dies war die schönste Orchesteraufführung in Erinnerung an Mascagnis bahnbrechende Partitur.“ – Opera News
Riccardo Muti leitet das Chicago Symphony Orchestra, den Chicago Symphony Chorus und eine Riege herausragender Solisten in Pietro Mascagnis Cavalleria rusticana. Als Oper gehört Cavalleria rusticana zu den beständigsten Werken für die Bühne, und ihre außergewöhnliche Popularität hat nie nachgelassen. Diese exquisite Konzertaufführung vom Februar 2020 fängt lebendig die unvergessliche Prägnanz ihrer Melodien, die berauschenden Farben ihrer sizilianischen Atmosphäre und das drängende, herzzerreißende Tempo ihres Dramas ein, das im Repertoire kaum seinesgleichen findet. Das gesamte Ensemble, mit der bemerkenswerten Darstellung der Santuzza durch die Mezzosopranistin Anita Rachvelishvili, fängt alle Emotionen und Nuancen von Mascagnis Oper ein, während sie auf ihre unausweichliche Katastrophe zusteuert – das gefeierte Intermezzo bietet den einzigen Moment der Ruhe.
In der frühen Geschichte war das Chicago Symphony Orchestra bei erstaunlich vielen Opern im Graben, darunter fast 50 Aufführungen von Cavalleria rusticana. Der Gründungs-Musikdirektor des Orchesters, Theodore Thomas, dirigierte das Intermezzo beim zweiten Programm, das das Orchester am 19. Oktober 1891 spielte. Riccardo Muti, weltweit bekannt für seine hervorragenden Interpretationen italienischer Opern, führt in dieser definitiven Aufführung des 21. Jahrhunderts, die den Test der Zeit bestehen wird, die orchestrale Meisterschaft des CSO wieder mit dem Werk zusammen (das es seit 1931 nicht mehr in seiner Gesamtheit aufgeführt hatte).
