| |  | Recorded at the Royal Opera House, London, 3 March 1995
Richard Strauss’s most popular opera mixes comedy and philosophy with farce and romance. Exceptional singing from Anna Tomowa-Sintow (The Marschallin) is perfectly complemented by Kurt Moll’s Baron Ochs, Ann Murray’s Octavian and Barbara Bonney’s Sophie, with the Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House conducted by Andrew Davis. Packaged in an attractive clam-shell box with full libretto online. “Andrew Davis has firm control of the score, its textures iridescent, the momentum sustained with a grace and urgency exactly suited to the psychological turmoil afflicting the protagonists. Don’t miss the new cast at any cost.” Opera “The John Schlesinger production of Der Rosenkavalier may have been around for more than a decade, but it continues to ravish the eye.” The Times “Tomova-Sintow is more moving than for Karajan — heart-stoppingly beautiful in the treacherous “Silver Rose” phrase at the end of Act I...With Ann Murray’s ardent, much-loved Octavian (new to CD), Barbara Bonney’s rapturously phrased Sophie and mercurial conducting from Davis, this Rosenkavalier was well worth rescuing from the archives.” Sunday Times, 14th November 2010 *** “Moll is a genuinely basso profundo Ochs, with the repartee between him and 'cousin' Resi in Act 1 a highlight...[Murray] blends touchingly with Bonney, and sets the Act II quarrel alight.” BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2010 *** “All three characters are splendidly drawn here, Octavian (a winning Ann Murray, not too feminine), Baron Ochs (Kurt Moll) with a rich low register to all but dignify his underlying boorishness, and Anna Tomowa-Sintow a commandingly sympathetic, mature and worldly-wise Marschallin...in the great trio of the third act the three voices meld ravishingly.” Gramophone Magazine, January 2011 “All the principals were established as specialists in their roles by the time of this live recording from 1995, and you can hear why: there's an impressive confidence of delivery in the more conversational scenes” Classic FM Magazine, January 2011 *** | | | (also available to download from $21.25) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Recorded 1954 “Sena Jurinac is a charming Octavian, strong and sympathetic, and Hilde Gueden a sweetly characterful Sophie, not just a wilting innocent.
