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 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
