5 stars One of the Best Chenier's
This is SUCH a beautiful opera. I am a big Pavarotti fan, so of course I'm thrilled at the sound of his liquid and mellifluous voice in such a fabulous verismo role. He is the star of this production. There are 3 arias for the lead & 2 love duets and some nice moments with his friend Roucher. Caballe does a nice job as Maddelena, although her low notes sound somewhat forced, her lovely high pianissimo is as ravishing as ever. She puts it to nice use in the end of the 1st act love duet. Leo Nucci's Gerard is a bit more dry than I'd like, but he does fine singing and a committed characterization of this confused somewhat last minute hero. Chailly's conducting is well paced & the balance between singer & orchestra is very nice. One last thing, the Welsh women who sing the chorale, "Oh, Pastorelle Addio" are GREAT! they sound like a slice of heaven. Nice moment for them in this recording. Overall, a beautifully done recording of one of the most melodious and truly heroic verismo operas ever written. And yes, this is the opera with the aria featured in the movie Philadelphia (La Mamma Morta) with Denzel & Tom.

Gospodi - The Light of Christ(CD of the Year, 1998)There are not many new CDs that I get really excited about, and not many pieces of music that have this certain vibration that goes right down into our innermost soul.Gospodi is such a CD. In my view it is a genuine masterpiece. The title piece itself, "Gospodi", transports the listener into a spiritual trance, into a state of meditation.I was so impressed that I asked Felix for permission to publish the following text. I wish him and his music the success that it deserves:"With this music, I have drawn my own, totally personal picture of Jesus Christ. I have been asked many times over a period of years whether I would like to make a CD of Christian music, but every time I was asked this question I always noticed that I was not yet ready to start writing my own Christian music. I certainly did not want to portray the Jesus Christ of my childhood, the Jesus that the Church had tried to make me believe in. There were too many unanswered questions and discrepancies which even as a child I failed to understand. I knew, deep down inside me, that there was another Jesus Christ, and I first want to find this one.During the course of my extensive studies particularly of oriental traditions and many apocryphal Christian writings, and during my travels, Christ encountered me again in an unexpected way, and this picture of the universal Master took on clearer and clearer outlines.Many of my questions were answered and many obvious mistakes handed down in our tradition were corrected. I rediscovered Jesus' so-called "lost years", and saw his life and works in a completely new context. There I encountered Christ, the Essenite and Aramaean, the Indian and the Tibetan Jesus, called Isa, who is deeply rooted and taught in the teaching and practices of Vedanta and Buddhism.It was not until my own mystic way led me closer to the essence of these teachings that I was able to recognise the cosmic Christ more clearly, beyond the limits of any religion or dogma. Like all great, universal teachers of mankind, and ultimately like all of us, he is the personification of the essence of all ways that we describe as light, love, or godly energy. I have now tried to put this oriental-mystic Christ and our essential Christ as the One and Only into music, and to create this powerful energy musically. A major aspect of my work is explaining the unity of the aims of religion and the existence of the One God. In my view, music is far superior to the words of theologians. The Indian saint, Sri Yukteswar, says on this point: "... the lack of unity existing between the individual religions, and mankind's ignorance, make it almost impossible to lift the veil and to look this great truth in the eye... Only a few, particularly blessed people can raise themselves above the influence of their environment and recognise the complete concord between the truths announced by all the major religions."Even as a child, I felt myself closest to the mystical source in Gregorian music. During the course of my long travels I found a spiritual treasure in Russia, with its wonderful orthodox singing and the constant repetition of the most heartfelt prayer Gospodi ...
