R.Strauss: Prima Donnas - RCA

6:50 PM  Dell  1 comment

Covers + lossless, Not my Rip

A marvelous souvenir of great nights at the VSO.

"The two-CD set of `Strauss Prima Donnas' in Vienna begins with two extracts from the 1933 EMI highlights. Lehmann's Marschallin monologue is done as one remembered it to be. In the Rose Presentation Olszewska is a heavy, mezzo Octavian but Schumann, after 66 years, remains the sweetest and most accurate of Sophies. The Konetzni and Welitsch items - the latter's astonishing 1948 Salome - also derive from EMI's studios. The legendary 1944 Ariadne, given on Strauss's 80th birthday, has also been available before (DG, 11/94, and Preiser, 11/94). Gueden in the final scene of Daphne, ethereal, silver-voiced, is familiar from the DG issue (7/65R) of the complete performance.

Everything else here is new and taken live from the State Opera. The extracts from the 1955 Frau ohne Schatten has the same cast as the Decca studio set (4/68R) of the same year. The second extract has the young Rysanek singing fabulously as the Empress in her Act 3 solo. Schwarzkopf recorded the final scene of Capriccio in the studio, but here, in what must have been a memorable evening in 1960, she adds the extra frisson offered by a live occasion, singing with lustrous tone. Della Casa and Rothenberger were familiar partners as Arabella and Zdenka: this Act 1 scene is a nice souvenir of their collaboration. A year later, in a glorious, highly dramatic partnership, Nilsson and Waechter sing the Recognition scene from Elektra, and Janowitz is a lovely Ariadne. Here, as elsewhere, Böhm shows himself the supreme Strauss conductor he was, and his players excel themselves for him.

The final offerings, all three from Rosenkavalier, offer us three more Marschallins. Jurinac, who first broached the role at Covent Garden in 1966, and Ludwig as Octavian offer a performance to rival that of Reining and Jurinac... The second extract, from a State Opera performance in Moscow, takes up, more or less, where the first ends. The Marschallin (recorded on the State Opera's visit to Moscow) is not perhaps Rysanek's best Strauss role; she is not quite precise enough of rhythm or word; and Ludwig is a somewhat blowzy Octavian (compared with Jurinac). The set ends with the final duet under Bernstein's loving care, as sweettoothed as you might expect. Ludwig, now as the Marschallin, has only her `Ja, ja' to commend her. [A]s a whole this collection is a marvellous souvenir of great nights at the VSO."

Bluray - R.Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier - Schwarzkopf - Karajan

10:54 AM  Dell  4 comments

BD-50 Dual-Layer Disc | 1080i/AVC MPEG-4 | English DTS-HD MA 2.0 (48 kHz / 2080 kbps / 24-bit) |

Der Rosenkavalier (Op. 59) (The Knight of the Rose) is a comic opera in three acts by Richard Strauss to an original German libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal.

It is loosely adapted from the novel Les amours du chevalier de Faublas by Louvet de Couvrai and Molière’s comedy Monsieur de Pourceaugnac. It was first performed at the Königliches Opernhaus in Dresden on 26 January 1911 under the direction of Max Reinhardt. Until the premiere, the working title was Ochs von Lerchenau. (The choice of the name Ochs is not accidental, for in German Ochs is translated as ox, which depicts the character of the Baron throughout the opera.)

The opera has four main characters: the aristocratic Marschallin, her very young lover Octavian Rofrano, a part sung by a woman, her coarse, philandering country cousin Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau, and his young prospective fiancée Sophie von Faninal, the lovely daughter of a rich Viennese bourgeois. Baron Ochs, having arranged with Sophie's father Faninal to combine his noble rank with Faninal's money by marrying Sophie, asks the Marschallin to suggest an appropriate young man to be his Knight of the Rose, who will present a silver rose to Sophie on his behalf as a traditional symbol of courtship. She recommends Octavian. When Octavian delivers the rose, he and Sophie fall in love on sight, and must figure out how to prevent Baron Ochs from marrying Sophie. They accomplish this in a comedy of errors that is smoothed over with the help of the Marschallin.

There are many recordings of the opera, and it is regularly performed.

Under the conducting of Herbert Von Karajan, the Vienna State Opera Ballet, the State Opera Chorus, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the famous singers Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Otto Edelmann, all combine to give a colourful and inspiring performance of Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. The story is set in the Royal Court of Vienna, where the Princess is being wooed by Octavian, a handsome young cavalier, despite her married state. Complications arise when Octavian falls in love with her younger sister, Sophie, whom another is trying to win. Set to a rousing musical score, this opera is a classic love story. This Blu-ray-only release features the film restored in HD.
