Composed in 1778, J.C. Bach's La Clemenza di Scipione is a nice, direct, fat-free work. The arias tend to be short (not one of them is a da capo), the recitatives are to the point and likewise brief, and the action moves swiftly. Roman Scipio (tenor) has taken Cartagena and Spanish soprano princess Arsinda (and her soprano pal, Idalba) prisoner. Male soprano, fellow non-Roman Lucieo, is betrothed to Arsinda, while the Roman general Marzio (tenor) is in love with Idalba and vice-versa. The whole plot revolves around the heroic Lucieo's attempts to rescue Arsinda, et al., his being taken prisoner, and his being threatened by death if he refuses to pledge allegiance to Rome. He never does give in, but Scipio does–hence the clemency–and Scipio gives everyone their freedom once he realizes how impressive a gal Arsinda is. Everyone swears loyalty to Rome. Hooray! There's plenty of room for grief arias, anger arias, revenge arias, why-is-my-life-so-dreadful arias, and if-only-I-could-end-your(-my)-suffering arias, in many tempos.
Orchestrally this is a wonderful performance. Das Kleine Konzert plays with ease, verve, and accuracy, and Hermann Max has a terrific feel for this après-Baroque, Classically Mozartean music, bringing its crisp rhythms to life. Little stage effects present on this live recording are welcome: When a clash of arms is referred to in the text, we hear swords. Except for applause at the opera's close, the audience could be mummified. The chorus too is excellent.
The music throughout is inventive and expert. The opera's longest aria, for Arsinda in Act 2, has obbligato parts for flute, oboe, and violin, oddly reminiscent of Mozart's "Martern aller arten" in The Abduction from the Seraglio (and like that aria, it's about suffering), and the largo-allegro Arsinda-Lucieo duet that ends Act 1 is utterly charming, but sadly, the latter pinpoints Waschinski's weird vocal shortcomings. Is this set recommended? Yes, despite less than virtuosic soloists, and it makes you hungry for more of J.C. Bach's operas.-Robert Levine
