| Here was all the arrogance, threat, and venality of the character that Puccini created. Ataneli�s voice is large, supple, and at times thrilling. Whenever he was onstage, he quickly took command and the drama came to life. From his opening condemnation of the uproar in church (�Un tal baccano in chiesa!�) to his confession of lust for Tosca (�Tosca, mi fai dimenticare Iddio!�), to his admission of venality (�Gi� mi dicon venal�), Ataneli teemed with menace. He also caught well the character�s subtle manners, moving like the elegant baron that he is, as well as the powerful Chief of Police./SFCV |
