Verdi - Aida (Riccardo Chailly, Violeta Urmana, Roberto Alagna) [2007] Music

Posted by Sowulo at Sept. 13, 2015

This is the DVD that almost didn’t happen, thanks to Roberto Alagna’s now infamous walkout on the second night of this production. Trouble appeared to have been brewing with Alagna even before the prima , but opening night went well enough for him. Then, during the second performance, on December 10, Alagna received a negative reaction from certain members of the audience for his performance of “Celeste Aida.” He walked off stage and could not be persuaded to return, leaving Antonello Palombi (still in street clothes) to take over the performance for him. The Italian press and opera blogs had a field day with this incident…

Le Banquet Céleste & Damien Guillon - Purcell: Odes & Welcome Songs (2022) [Official Digital Download] Vinyl & HR

Le Banquet Céleste & Damien Guillon - Purcell: Odes & Welcome Songs (2022) [Official Digital Download]
FLAC (tracks), Lossless [24bit-192kHz] +Booklet | 1:03:23 | 2,2 Gb
Genre: Classical / Label: Alpha Classics

There are 24 Odes and Welcome Songs composed by Purcell between 1680 and 1695: 4 celebrate St Cecilia, 6 are to welcome royalty, 3 celebrate King James II’s birthday and 6 celebrate that of Queen Mary (from 1684 to 1694). The others were written for specific events – royal wedding, Yorkshire festival, Duke of Gloucester’s birthday, hundredth anniversary of Dublin’s Trinity College, etc. For these occasions, Purcell composed incredibly imaginative music of amazing quality – often keeping his most beautiful pieces for less remarkable texts, most of the time conventionally obsequious when it came to royalty. According to the registers, the number of singers and musicians were surprisingly small during special events. Purcell’s most elaborate Odes (namely Come Ye sons of Art and Hail! bright Cecilia) seem to have been designed for about twelve instruments and four singers, for solos and choruses. The Banquet Céleste chose a chamber music-like spirit for these extremely expressive and musical works.
