This prestigious 1992 Astrée Auvidis release captures a legendary performance led by Jean-Claude Malgoire. The opera tells a fictionalized, highly dramatic tale of the Aztec ruler Montezuma and his encounter with Fernando Cortez.

Interesting Facts

  • The Name Mystery: For centuries, this work was referred to as Montezuma. However, after the original manuscript was discovered in the archives of the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin in 2002, scholars corrected the spelling to Motezuma, reflecting Vivaldi's original intent.
  • The Great Loss: Until the 2002 discovery, the music for this opera was thought to be lost to history. This 1992 recording utilized the surviving libretto and a masterful reconstruction of Vivaldi's musical style and known fragments.
  • Venetian Premiere: The opera originally premiered on November 14, 1733, at the Teatro Sant'Angelo in Venice, marking a period where Vivaldi was experimenting with exotic themes.
  • Jean-Claude Malgoire: The conductor was a pioneer of the period-instrument movement, and his ensemble, La Grande Écurie et La Chambre du Roy, is world-renowned for its authentic Baroque sound.

Áttekintés (Hungarian Translation)

Fedezze fel Antonio Vivaldi Motezuma (RV 723) című operájának drámai fenségét ebben a különleges, háromfelvonásos drama per musica-ban. Ez a rangos, 1992-es Astrée Auvidis kiadás Jean-Claude Malgoire vezényletével készült. Az opera az azték uralkodó, Montezuma és Fernando Cortez találkozásának fiktív, drámai történetét meséli el. Bár az opera eredeti kéziratát csak 2002-ben találták meg Berlinben, ez az 1992-es felvétel a barokk zene legkiválóbb szakértőinek monumentális rekonstrukciója. A CD-n olyan világhírű művészeket hallhatunk, mint Dominique Visse kontratenor és Isabelle Poulenard szoprán.

Érdekességek

  • A név rejtélye: Évszázadokon át Montezuma néven ismerték a művet, de a 2002-es kézirat felfedezése után kiderült, hogy Vivaldi eredetileg a Motezuma címet adta neki.
  • Az elveszettnek hitt zene: A 2002-es felfedezésig úgy hitték, hogy a zene nagy része elveszett. Ez a felvétel a fennmaradt librettó és Vivaldi stílusának alapos ismerete alapján készült.
  • Jean-Claude Malgoire: A karmester a korhű hangszeres játék úttörője volt, zenekara pedig világszerte elismert az autentikus barokk hangzásvilágáról.
