Free Music Review: COMPLETE IN ALL ITS GLORY.
Hit: 5 Stars

I couldn't help but notice the scathing opinions posted here about this recording; I will hazard a guess that they were written by opera absolutists who shine a harsh, glaring light on every sound that issues forth from every singer in question. And while I find myself now in a similar mode, let me report that EVERY note sung by the principals in this performance is delivered with the utmost artistry and emotion; this cast really understands and projects everything in this complex and lengthy opera, presented here complete without cuts.

Top honors, though, go to Edo de Waart, who conducts this monumentally demanding score brilliantly, being totally in command of every measure. He observes every tempo marking, in addition to eliciting phenomenally detailed playing. The sound is clean, clear and rich, with a nice sense of spaciousness.

Two remarkable passages among many: 1.)the excitement near the beginning of Act 2 as Sophie and Marianne await the imminent arrival of the Rose Bearer, with the men's hearty cries of "Rofrano" growing gradually nearer---it's so glorious in its sound and pacing that I can't imagine it done better. Similarly, 2.)the orchestral scherzo-introduction to Act 3, as wickedly challenging as anything in the orchestral repertoire, is performed as flawlessly as humanly possible. Unfortunately, opera fanatics will barely take notice of such things. Here is a rare performance led by a conductor who can shape, delineate, propel and/or caress every phrase, resulting in a reading that positively radiates character in every measure.

True, Evelyn Lear is past her prime (as is the character she portrays), but she artfully disguises her limitations (using every trick in the book during the endless conversational passages in Act 1), and amply conveys the emotional world of the Marschallin. Von Stade is all one could ever ask for as Octavian, and Ruth Welting is a fine Sophie. Jules Bastin uses his somewhat colloquial sound---bawling, bellowing and often vibrato-less---in what can only be described as a supremely virtuostic realization of the role of Ochs. Yeah, a couple of the minor roles sound pretty hideous---but at least they are enthusiastcially sung.

Too bad this recording is overlooked. But I would advise anyone looking for an excellent and inexpensive (not to mention NOTE-COMPLETE) recording of this great work to look no further.
