Review Massenet: Thaïs / Decca:There is much to recommend in this impressive recording of an unjustly neglected operatic gem. As the eponymous Alexandrian courtesan who converts to asceticism, Renée Fleming is gorgeous and produces a stream of rich, golden sounds that enchant and seduce. Thomas Hampson as the monk who converts her and-too late-realises that he loves her, is bold and authoritative. Yves Abel draws some supple and sinuous playing from his Bordeaux orchestra-the Prelude to Act 1 Scene 2, for example, which is a shimmering musical portrait of the port of Alexandria, is stunning. Unfortunately both Fleming and Hampson lack a certain vulnerability and sense of inner conflict, which makes their respective conversions a little hard to swallow and can sometimes make the recording feel a little unfocussed. But what the piece lacks in fin de siècle languor and anguish, it makes up for in a dramatically driven robustness in the big set pieces which is thrilling-and being able to hear the famous "Meditation" in context (with off-stage choral accompaniment) is a treat worth the price alone. -Warwick Thompson.

Review Verdi: Rigoletto / Callas Edition:Nobody steals the spotlight when Maria Callas is onstage, but Tito Gobbi never lets us forget that this show is called Rigoletto, not Gilda. Neither singer has one of the century's prettiest voices; both have dramatic presence, impact and subtlety-based as much on their control of verbal nuance as on musicianship-that make their characters three-dimensional, the story meaningful and the emotions real, varied and intense. His role is bigger and more complex than hers is. He is almost constantly onstage and his music runs the whole gamut from fatherly tenderness to regret at a life gone wrong to explosive rage. Sparks fly when they sing together and Tullio Serafin conducts with an exemplary grasp of the opera and a detailed knowledge of his cast's capabilities. -Joe McLellan.
