René Pape (bass)

Staatsopernchor Dresden & Staatskapelle Dresden, Sebastian Weigle

Rene Pape’s solo debut for DG gives an overview of the roles that have made his career plus a few rarities.. Accompanied by the Dresden Staatskapelle under Sebastian Weigle, Pape performs his signature piece: King Mark’s monologue from Tristan und Isolde, as well as arias from Gounod’s Faust (the role of Méphistophélès), Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov and wonderful arias of the rarely performed Demon (Rubinstein) among others. “René Pape is an artist who thrills his audiences with charisma, intelligence and a one-in-a-million voice.” (Opera News)

The operatic roles on this album have to a large extend been performed by Pape to the highest critical acclaim in the world’s major opera houses, from the Metropolitan Opera to the Berlin Staatsoper.

As Pape’s first solo recording and his DG solo debut, this album is long overdue and is eagerly awaited not only by the music press but also by the singer’s international fan base.

“Probably the premier basso cantante of our time, René Pape is a good god, a good king and a still better singer…” Gramophone Magazine, December 2008

“Very welcome on this recording… are less usual arias from Mefestofele… and Dvorák's Rusalka… with brisk support provided throughout by the Dresden Saatskapelle and Staatsopernchor under the direction of Sebastian Weigle, this is a fine showcase.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2008 ****

Tatest du's wirklich? (from Tristan and Isolde)

Looking back at Tristan und Isolde twenty years after its composition, Wagner told his wife Cosima: ‘My model was Romeo and Juliet – nothing but duets!’ He was invoking Bellini’s opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi, which he had conducted many times as a young man. Indeed, there had been much in the Italian master’s legacy that had impressed the young Wagner, including the ‘long, long, long melodies’ that Verdi described, and the technique of melodic sequence in which a phrase is repeated with rising pitch and heightened effect. The erotic potential of such procedures is famously exploited in the ‘night of love’ in Act II of Tristan und Isolde. And while this might well claim to be Wagner’s best-known duet, this innovative 2CD set, compiled by Australia’s Wagner expert Peter Bassett (who also contributes the notes) brings together a collection of dialogues, musical conversations and duets from the major Wagner operas.

The recordings are among the finest ever made. The singers are a Who’s Who of great names from the sixties, seventies and eighties – Fischer-Dieskau, Janowitz, Vickers, Thomas, Price, Kollo… with conductors like Karajan, Kleiber and Jochum directing these revelatory performances. The breadth and diversity of the emotion on this double album is matched by the generous playing times: more than two hours and forty minutes of music on a 2CD set.

“a performance with the blast of the winds and whiff of the sea” Gramophone Magazine (Fliegende Holländer)

“the chivalrous James King will impress you as being one of the purest, most unidiosyncratic Lohengrins you’ll have heard” Gramophone Magazine (Lohengrin)

“Fischer-Dieskau’s interpretation is as musical, as richly varied, as intelligent as one could hope for […] The great and unexpected revelation is Domingo’s Walther … he provides the most lyrically ardent Walther in any of the sets to date, seconding his conductor in his long-breathed, eloquent phrasing.” Gramophone Magazine (Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg)

“Nilsson rises to great heights … is predictably glorious in her pleading for mercy to be shown to her lover and Windgassen is equally good in his defiance and contrition” Gramophone Magazine (Tannhäuser)

“Fischer-Dieskau and Veasey establish their characters with amazing clarity and speed” Gramophone Magazine (Rheingold)

“Vickers is a passionate Siegmund … his performance is superb … and as he is in splendid voice the heroic moments are most exciting.” Gramophone Magazine (Die Walküre)

“Kollo matches Price’s beauty of line with his own, so that for lyrical refinement their love duet is in a class of its own” Gramophone Magazine (Tristan und Isolde)

Gottlob Frick (bass)

Gottlieb Frick became a member of the Bayreuth Opera Chorus in 1930 and launched his solo career in 1934. He later became one of the most important German basses and certainly contradicted an old saying among conductors, that a fine choral singer will never become a fine soloist.
