Verdi: Un ballo in maschera

Directed for Stage by Ermanno Olmi & Stage Design & Costumes: Arnaldo Pomodoro

Massimiliano Pisapia, Franco Vassallo, Chiara Taigi, Annamaria Chiuri, Eun Yee You & Herman Wallén

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Chorus of the Leipzig Opera & Leipzig Ballet, Riccardo Chailly

“Chailly's conducting left no wish unfulfilled, managing to conjure such a voluptuous sound from the orchestra that had not been heard from this pit in a while, sumptuous rumbling as well as transparency and lightness where necessary. A gripping iridescence between drama and grotesquerie was matched with great care for detailed phrasing, never losing sight of the whole. Orchestra as well as singers corresponded to their best.” The Opera Critic

Strauss, R: Ariadne auf Naxos

Primadonna / Ariadne Jessye Norman, Komponist Julia Varady, Zerbinetta Edita Gruberova, Tenor / Bacchus Paul Frey, Musiklehrer Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau & Haushofmeister Rudolf Asmus

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Kurt Masur

2 CDs with complete libretto at mid price for first time!

"... where the recording scores most convincingly ... is in the casting of Ariadne and Bacchus. Jessye Norman brings to the title-role opulence of tone, nobility of phrasing and Straussian richness ... and Norman gives us the classical dignity and tragedy of the role in generous measure ... Paul Frey ... really sings the role, riding the climaxes effortlessly and tunefully and, with Norman, making the final duet the ecstatic experience Strauss had in mind but which so rarely materialises ... the playing of the instrumentalists from the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra is exemplary ... there's no doubt in my mind that this is an Ariadne with outstanding virtues.” Gramophone November 1988
