Free Music Review: Bluebeard was a victim
Hit: 5 Stars
Boulez recorded two times these masterpiece . One with Troyanos and Ninsgern , with the BBC Orchestra is wonderful . After 20 years Boulez recorded one second time .The tempi are faster, the expression more accurate, and the Orchestra is really fantastic . But more fantastic are the singers . Jessye Norman , maybe in her last serious recording ,sings as all the times with a fantastic perfection . From the mezzo notes until the high C she is the perfection as singer.She sang at the Met this role in English.I don't know Hungarian, but Norman's German and French are always perfect.Because of this I suppose that her Hungarian is good too. Laszlo Polgar is by far the best Bluebeard I listened.He is a tender and expressive Bluebeard . The most important: we have here one reality. The reality is that Judith isn't a victim .The victim is Bluebeard. She is strong .Listen the phrase Norman sings ordering the opening of the last door . This is my favorite recording of this masterpiece. The two recordings of Boulez are a constant fountain of pleasure and discoveries .
B?la Bart?k: Bluebeard's Castle - Jessye Norman / L?szl? Polg?r / Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Pierre Boulez Poster
But for one thing, this has the makings of a classic. Pierre Boulez's recent Bartok recordings with the Chicago orchestra have been standard-setting. And Jessye Norman couldn't be better equipped, vocally and dramatically, to sing Judith. She doesn't disappoint: Her grand temperament suits her character's aggressively curious nature while her increasingly dark lower range is put to good use in conveying the awe and horror of what she finds while probing her husband's past. Polgar is also alert to the dramatic turns of Bluebeard. However, Boulez seems a bit less involved--less coloristically attuned to the score than in past Bartok recordings. But this CD is still of great interest. --David Patrick StearnsClassical Music CDs
