Description
|
|
|
|
This beautifully emotive Dresden production of Strauss's bittersweet operatic masterpiece was filmed on tour in Tokyo's NHK Hall in 2007. "The production, as directed for television by Eiji Yoshida, is remarkably convincing in depicting its characters' feelings and reactions.... Luisi never overpowers the voices, while investing bigger moments with the requisite energy and fullness.... Taking top honors is Anne Schwanewilms, a radiant, elegant Marschallin. A gorgeous woman … she looks and even sounds a bit like Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, though livelier and more approachable in character."—Opera News "Vondung's [Octavian] velvety voice is smooth and beautiful and she's an excellent actress, both physically and vocally.... Luisi's credentials as a Strauss conductor include an excellent revival of The Egyptian Helen last year at the Met, and his work here only adds to his stature.... The orchestra, given its head, sounds well balanced and robust, and has a beautiful tonal sheen."—American Record Guide
