Attilio Cremonesi, La Cetra, Antonio Abete, Cinzia Forte - Giovanni Paisiello: La Serva Padrona (2007)

While Pergolesi’s vivacious intermezzo of 1733 – a crucial staging post in the development of opera buffa – has a toehold in the repertoire, Paisiello’s 1781 setting of the same silly libretto for Catherine the Great is virtually unknown. The more sophisticated Paisiello can’t match Pergolesi for verve and unassuming lightness of touch. His fast arias tend to be more emphatic, less melodically catchy. But there is plenty to admire in the polished craftsmanship, the colourful writing for woodwind (including prominent clarinets) and, in two of Serpina’s arias, a vein of soulful lyricism characteristic of the Age of Sentiment.
Galvanised by the eager, rhythmically pointed playing (on period instruments) of La Cetra, sparring maid and master characterise with brio, and bring a real theatricality to the recitatives. Cinzia Forte makes an attractive Serpina, wily, quick-witted without shrewishness, and sings her two slow arias – one a celebration of women’s sexual power, the other a minor-key expression of mock-penitence – with sly, knowing charm. Antonio Abete, as the exasperated, outwitted Uberto, is even better, using his ripe, robust basso buffo with the flair of a natural comedian, whether in the splenetic “Sempre in contrasti” or the dizzying patter of “Son imbrogliato”. Paisiello’s modest court entertainment here emerges a more vivid and enjoyable work than you might guess from the printed page.
