CD Reviews

Magic power

Mr JB | Karlskrona Sweden | 06/25/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a schoolbook example of professional bass-singing. Matti Salminen compasses his way from Mozart and Rossini via Puccini and Verdi to Rickard Strauss. And he does so with bravura. His voice is extremely dark and powerful (that fact has been very well handled by the sound engineer - the balance of the recording is perfect). Salminen sings both Rossini, Wagner and Strauss as if they all were his favorite composer, showing no weakness in any kind of the very mixed repertoire of this recording. He is funny when called for, and in the most powerful (and tragic)parts he is extremely thrilling. Emotionality and caracterization are parts of Salminens great strength as a opera singer.If you're a fan of bass-singing, this is a must for you to have. Even if you're not, it is very fun to be able to hear some of the greatest bass-arias, which othervise oftenly are neglected on opera-collections. The orchestral playing of the Lahti forces is also very good."

Bravo!

"After experiencing Salminen's delightfully sinister Hagen in the Met DVD of Gotterdammerung, I ordered this album and was not disappointed. It is a gem, with Salminens's vocal power and expressiveness well displayed in every selection."
