Free Music Review: For once, stylish and sophisticated aren't the opposite of funny
Hit: 5 Stars

While wholeheartely joining in everyone's admiration for this mono Die Fledermaus from 1955, I can't agree that Karajan is driven, overly precise, or humorless. Ths is a delightfully witty performance, running a close second in smiles to Carlos Kleiber's set on DG. The comedy isn't entirely propelled by the singers, although they are elegantly funny without descending to burlesque. What grounds the comedy is Karajan's wonderfully buoyant conducting -- the smiles begin in the orchestra, which isn't true in his later stereo remake for Decca.

There, a degree of self-importance and inflation mars the innocence of the comedy. Schwarzkopf sets the tone here as she did in Karajan's equally comic Falstaff -- besides delivering an incredibly thrilling 'Vilja,' she manages to sound utterly fresh and worldly at the same time. That's her particular magic, and like thousands of listeners over the years, I was captivated by her charm all over again. The rest of the cast follows suit, and there are no worries about a tenor Eisenstein -- Gedda is fully in character and carries the part very credibly. Special mention should be made of Rita Streich's amazingly secure but also kittenish Adele; only Lucia Popp on the Kleier set is funnier and more charming.

Overall, by owning this version and the Kleiber, I feel that complete justice has been done to Strauss's champagne masterpiece.
