Cecilia Bartoli, Andras Schiff - Italian Songs: Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Haydn (1993) [Re-Up]

This was to be the end of the line for Italian word-setting by Viennese composers: once the confident sentiments that belonged to the poet Metastasio's opera seria felt the chill and threatening wind of Enlightenment and Revolution, their time was up. Even we, for the most part, prefer to remember the German-speaking Beethoven, Schubert and Haydn. So it is good to be reminded of their responses to the Italian muse (usually as part of their craft-learning student work) in this particularly well-cast recital.

Central Europe, in the person of Andras Schiff meets Italy, in Cecilia Bartoli, to delightful, often revelatory effect. The simple form and undemanding vocal line of Beethoven's little La Partenza makes for a truthfulness of expression which Bartoli's clear, light-filled enunciation recreates to the full. With her warm breath gently supporting the voice's lively, supple inflexion, she reveals Beethoven's own skill in word-setting both here and in two fascinatingly contrasted settings of ''L'amante impaziente'' in the Ariettas, Op. 82. The first, with Schiff's chattering piano accompaniment, points up the question marks of annoyed impatience; the second, in the pathetic mode, sighs through its vowels, leans on its appoggiaturas, and listens to the fluttering of the heart in the little accompanimental figures.

Schubert worked with a lighter hand, though the ten Canzone selected here show a wide range of treatment, from the compressed lyric drama of Dido's lament ''Vedi quanto adoro'', in which Bartoli's lives intensely from second to second, to the honied Goldoni pastorella and the thrumming, pulsating serenade of ''Guarda, che bianca luna'', D688 No. 2. A gently, fragrantly shaped Mozart Ridente la calma and a Haydn Arianna a Naxos of movingly immediate and youthful response complete this unexpectedly and unusually satisfying recital.

Review by Hilary Finch, Gramophone

Beethoven wrote more than 80 songs over a period of 18 years, though only Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Hermann Prey have focused any consistently serious attention on them as far as recording is concerned. It’s good, then, to hear a new selection from Olaf Bär, which moves from Beethoven’s settings of Gellert to Goethe, and contains much that lies in between. Bär brings a hushed sense of Romantic pantheism to the cycle An die ferne Geliebte (To the Dearest Beloved), as his words are carried on the movement of the warm wind which breathes through and unifies this group of songs. He is at his best here and in the Gellert Odes and Spiritual Songs with their long vowels and sustained phrases praising a primarily heroic God of strength. His lighter Goethe songs are less successful: the voice never really achieves lift-off, and even the May Song remains earthbound. This selection deliberately excludes the settings of the Italian poet Metastasio which Beethoven made in his student days. By a nice fluke of timing, Cecilia Bartoli’s new disc focuses on them as part of a programme in which she and András Schiff are well cast to explore the responses of central Europeans such as Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and Haydn to the Italian muse. The essential simplicity of songs like Beethoven’s ‘La partenza’ and the two nicely contrasting aspects of impatience in ‘L’amante impaziente’ free both composer and performers to enjoy the sighing inflections, supple enunciation and chattering, fluttering keyboard writing. Mozart’s radiant aria ‘Ridente la calma’, exquisitely shaped by both Bartoli and Schiff, is followed by a light-filled selection of Schubert settings; and Haydn’s dramatic scena, Arianna a Naxos, lively with Bartoli’s quick response to every fleeting emotion, makes a formidable finale to this finely conceived and enthusiastically realised recital.
