For the very first time, Plácido Domingo records a complete album of baritone repertoire: here he assembles Verdi´s most beloved baritone arias from Don Carlo, Rigoletto, La Traviata and Simon Boccanegra among many others. Verdi played the largest part in Domingo´s long career.
His debut as an opera singer was in the part of Borsa in Rigoletto. As he has sung 22 of Verdi tenor roles and has recorded all of Verdi´s tenor arias, Domingo feels excited to now be able to explore the darker characters of Verdi’s opera. In 2009 Plácido Domingo performed his first baritone title role as Simon Boccanegra at the Royal Opera House in London, which was soon followed by leading roles as Rigoletto, Francesco Foscari and Giorgio Germont from La Traviata.
This year will see Domingo debut in the leading roles of Nabucco at the Metropolitan Opera New York and Conte di Luna from Il Trovatore at the State Opera in Berlin. Considered to be THE Verdi tenor of his generation, Plácido Domingo presents now a new side of his vocal abilities, for which one may want to name him THE Verdi singer.
Plácido Domingo is accompanied by the Orquestra de la Comunítat Valencíana under the direction of conductor Pablo Heras-Casado. His work in the recording studio has earned him 12 Grammy Awards, three of which are Latin Grammys, and his telecast of Tosca from the authentic settings in Rome was seen by more than one billion people in 117 different countries. His appearances around the world with his colleagues José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti in the legendary The Three Tenors concerts are one of the great musical success stories.
“Verdi himself would surely have applauded the expressivity of such singing where character is all…no one should pretend this voice is what it was: it is showing its age…Yet I can't imagine not having this recording on the shelf. Think about Domingo's Verdi as 'late work', the distillation of a remarkable artistic life, and you may agree.” (BBC Music Magazine)
“as a baritone, he still sounds like Domingo the tenor…In some arias, one senses subtle interpretative concessions: passages that lie in the weaker parts of Domingo's voice have more brisk, sustainable tempi. No harm done…Though he has no shortage of dramatic depth, Domingo saves it for the recitatives” (Gramophone)
“Most of the arias on this disc also have a rather high tessitura and a tenoral brightness at the top is not unwelcome in that case…one has to marvel at the youthfulness and the freshness of his voice… There are no serious signs of deterioration, his vibrato is still fully controlled, he is even more willing to sing softly than he was in his tenor days…go out and buy the disc and spend many hours in Domingo’s company with total confidence.” (MusicWeb International)
