Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Mark Adamo's transfer of the Louisa May Alcott novel to the opera stage is an artistic and commercial success. It's been scheduled by numerous opera companies, and this Houston Grand Opera production drew a large audience to its PBS broadcast. The success is due to Adamo's sense of the lyric theatre--his sharply focused libretto that clarifies both story line and the narrative's meaning, and his accessible yet sophisticated music.

Little Women is about change and letting go of the past. This theme and the dramatic conflict it engenders are beautifully encapsulated in two fine Act I scenes: Jo's "Look at us, Laurie: we're perfect as we are," and Meg's aria, "Things change." Adamo's music is equal to the challenge of his ambitious agenda. The 18-piece orchestra sounds bigger than it is, perhaps because it's always active, moving the story along on its own or commenting on the characters and action. Adamo writes big arias and unapologetically includes expressive coloratura passages. He even dares to write a Schubertian aria on the text of Goethe's "Kennst du das Land," repeating it (with variations) in English. And he injects some humor into the opera, as heard in the delightful scene of Brook's proposal to Meg, an arch snippet about surtitles, and Jo at the offices of a trashy tabloid. The singers are all first-rate, but the opera rises or falls on Jo, the kind of meaty part singers would kill for. Stephanie Novak is marvelous here, singing with passion and projecting Jo's innocence as well as her journey to self-knowledge. Patrick Summers leads a definitive performance of the opera. The recording is drawn from live performances in March 2000. Ondine, a Finnish company, has done American music proud with this release. --Dan Davis

5 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing.......2006-05-07

OK, so I'm the last US listener to catch up with this piece. Wow. Amazing. Nothing extra, nothing missing--it's beautiful, but that's not what I'm writing about---listening to it is like being inside someone's heart. If you've ever thought you could make someone keep loving you through force of will...it's strange that something so "nostalgic" can feel so tough and aching at the same time--when Meg sings "I love you--things end," I thought my stomach would sink right out of my body. I really can't tell you if it's a "good" record or not from an audiophile POV. But I play it. A lot...Peace, Ellen

4 out of 5 stars Most enjoyable.......2006-02-23

I bought this c.d. for my brother's birthday as he is a great fan of Joyce di Donato. He is very fussy about the quality of the recording and was delighted with this one.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you, Mark Adamo!.......2005-03-08

I had the privilege of attending New York City Opera's production of this incredible work, and I have seldom been so moved. Obviously, the composer couldn't (and shouldn't) have included every single scene from the novel. What he did set, however, were some of the most touching and beautiful pages. Scenes that let us get to know these people, and care deeply about them, without needing to know their entire life stories. Maybe I'm too emotional (if there is such a thing), but I shed quite a few tears during this performance. Mark Adamo has written the finest opera of the last 50 years and more. Thank you, Mr. Adamo, for this magnificent work.
The recording is fine, as well, with a strong cast and good sound. A bargain at twice the price.

4 out of 5 stars The opera is good, but ..........2004-02-02

Marc Adamo's _Little Women_ follows Alcott's book much more closely than it seems to. True, this opera doesn't include Jo's famous haircut, the father's service (and subsequent illness) as a military chaplain, or any of the childhood antics depicted in the book's first half. But that's because Adamo focuses his attention on the less-celebrated second half, which Alcott entitled "Good Wives" (though she sarcastically claimed "Wedding Marches" would have been more appropriate).

The opera itself is superb; among American composers, only Douglas Moore and Virgil Thomson have equalled its accomplishment. Adamo's libretto is consistently quick-witted and sharp-tongued (a trait he seems to have picked up from Alcott herself), while his music is tonal, eclectic, emotional and intelligent. Each character, it seems, has at least one moment to shine, but Professor Bhaer's German lied in Act II never fails to bring down the house. What's more, the opera stages beautifully; one gets the sense that it would be as much at home on Broadway as in the concert hall. (Hint, hint?)

Unfortunately, this particular recording is live, which means that the music doesn't come across with the same clarity that a studio recording would have. It's tough to justify shelling out more than thirty bucks for manifestly inferior sound, and I wish the Houston Grand Opera had purchased some studio time so they could give this opera its due. Still, the performances are as good as they come. For fans of the work, this will be a must-own.

5 out of 5 stars New Operas are important, very important.......2003-08-17

I saw a production of this opera at New York City Opera this past season which is why I bought the CD. It really is a triumph. I'm sorry for the people who didn't I enjoy. I wonder if NYC Opera is performing a different version or just a different concept of the same version. I found the production to be very endearing and touching. No one left the theater untouched emotionally. There is a lot to be said for new operas. Without new opera the form won't expand and continue to grow. New Operas do not take anything away from the classics, it's just important that new avenues be explored. I saw buy this CD, you'll enjoy it.

        5 out of 5 stars I love Lotti.......2007-02-20

        This is a great musical experience if you're looking for music at its best.
        Mr. Lotti can sing whatever he desires and it always comes out above your greatest expectations.

        4 out of 5 stars Very nice voice.......2004-03-19

        Again a cross over singer. This man, no matter what some reviewers say, will NEVER complete with Pavarotti, or Domingo, or even Jose Carraress at the end of his career. The voice is nice, very nice, and very pleasant to listen to. I really enjoy it. However, you are not hearing opera at all, so don't classify him as such; you are not hearing a classical technique, so he should not be placed in that category. Personally, I am getting fed up with Popular artists (and many of them extremely good) being labeled as classical artist just because they attempt a few classical songs. Not only is the listener NOT getting the real sound of a classical voice, they aren't even getting the original orchestration of the music by the GREAT COMPOSERS who wrote it. We all know that popular music is always arranged, and for the greater part it is because the composer seldom wrote more than a vocal line and a supporting bass line, the rest was left for arrangers to fill in. Classical music, on the other hand, is quite different. It was created complete, orchestrations and all. It doesn't need arranging, and 9 times out of 10 the arrangements do violence to the music. This CD is no exception. The singer's voice is nice, but not exceptional when compared to people who know how to sing this music; however, it is exceptional when compared to those in the popular music field. My personal observation regarding cross-over artists is there is a dirth of good music for fine voices to sing in the popular field, so they attempt music in the classical field. That is perfectly fine, and as I have said, I have really enjoy what they have to offer, as long as it is kept where it belongs: not a serious or important interpretation of great music, rather a simple vocalization of music for a moderately nice voice.

        5 out of 5 stars Helmut Lotti Goes Classic 11.......2002-01-26

        I have four of his CDs and this is the best of the bunch.

        5 out of 5 stars The best male vocalist on the planet, bar none........2000-06-24

        What an incredible voice! Move over, Pavarotti! He brings an incredible interest in this genre of music, and most people who shun classical music will love this guy! A very easy CD to listen to, and a voice like Helmut's I think can only be matched by other contemporary opera singers, such as Michael Crawford. Helmut is fantastic!

        5 out of 5 stars pure enjoyment at its finest.......1999-08-08

        I recently heard of Helutt Loti a few months ago Unfortunatly he is not as well known in Canada which is our loss I got great comfort out of his music when my mother recently passed away. His recording of Amazing grace was played at her memorial service

        4 out of 5 stars "COMPLETE"!.......2001-03-14

        This is one of the best Adamo collections around. It was the first Adamo cd I got and my choice was of course based on the content! It's a perfect choice for new fans, as it offers some of the most known and loved songs of his, like "La nuit" and "Petit bonheur". It's also aimed for avid collectors who seek for forgotten and rare tracks like "Le neon" and "Le ruisseau de mon enfance". The recording quality is superb-the old 45s need to be done away with! Nevertheless, more hits could have been included, like "Mon cinema"... Yet it remains one of the most "complete" Adamo collections around!
