Recording of the Week, Presto Personal Favourites from 2015

18th December 2015

The Editorial team pick out their "ones that got away" from 2015 - the discs that slipped through the net but which we feel deserve a mention in despatches…

In addition to being one of the leading and most acclaimed Lieder singers performing today, Christian Gerhaher is also a highly sought-after performer on the opera stage. Having performed in some of the world's top opera houses, Gerhaher was awarded the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera for his performance in Wagner's Tannhäuser at London's Royal Opera House.

Here Gerhaher devotes a complete album to arias from the operas of Mozart, together with the Freiburger Barockorchester, one of the top period instrument ensembles worldwide with a strong connection to the Mozart repertoire. The album features all the big baritone arias from Mozart’s most well-known operas, including Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte, Le nozze di Figaro, and also includes a recording of Symphony No. 36 in C Major K 425.

The booklet features notes written by one of Germany’s top intellectual authorities and experts on Mozart's operas, Prof. Dieter Borchmeyer.

Reviews

January 2016

the pleasure of this Mozartian anthology lies not so much in individual characterisation as in the powerful personal dramaturgy with which Gerhaher shapes his programme. The transformations of love, from tenderness to doubt, instability to cynicism and disillusion, form a little drama within itself...Best of all, there's his irresistable Papageno, revealing every facet of the character's audacity and vulnerability.

September 2015

it forms a testament, albeit a variable one, to his considerable powers of characterisation. As one might expect, he brings great intelligence to bear on the proceedings. You can hear every word, and when he's at his best, you sense the complete character behind the individual aria…the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, directed by leader Gottfried von der Goltz, are lithe, persuasive accompanists.

18th December 2015

the integrity and immediacy of his portraits...will make you feel you’re encountering these familiar characters for the very first time in all their glorious complexity and variety. Playing to the gallery isn’t at all what Gerhaher’s about, but it’s as if we get a vocal costume-change between tracks as he moves from master to servant and back again; every time I listen to this disc it puts a smile on my face and a lump in my throat (often in quick succession, and sometimes even simultaneously)

23rd September 2015

Gerhaher is more convincing as a patrician in these arias than as a servant, more suavely believable as Don Giovanni than Leporello, more comfortable as Count Almaviva than as a slightly hectoring Figaro, but he makes an endearing Papageno, without too much trace of caricature. However it all came about, it’s a thoroughly rewarding collection.

26/10/2015

Here are tunes that could be (and in Mozart's day were) whistled on the street, sung with freshness, clarity and vigour in crisply enunciated Italian and given all the simple charm that the composer intended, as well as vividly individuated personalities…you may think you know this music inside out; Gerhaher will prove that you don't.
