Review by Fabio Bardelli

FIRENZE/ITALY: Famous Lithuan soprano Violeta Urmana sang in Florence, at the Teatro dell’Opera, the monologue La Mort de Cléopâtre by Hector Berlioz, a not very well known but quite fascinating music. The Queen of Egypt, near to suicide by asp bite, expresses her deepest thoughts, her doubts and her irrevocable decision in a great music page with recitatifs and arias alternating all along the work.

Mrs Urmana’s voice is large and bright, her phrasing is always various and charming, her accent is incisive. This is a really beautiful performance, well accompanied by conductor Roberto Abbado with sensitivity and refinement.
In this Florence concert another Berlioz‘s page was performed, Tristia op. 18, where French musician entrusts to the very good Choir of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino (prepared by Lorenzo Fratini) the narration and the comment of Ophelia’s death, and in the last part, in Hamlet’s last scene, the orchestra plays an evocative Funeral march
.
The very famous Ravel’s transcription of Mussorgskij’s Pictures at an exhibition completed the program, and was performed by conductor Roberto Abbado who gave more relief to a tymbric athmosphere of French style, coming evidently from Ravel’s magnificent work of orchestration
