Hit: 5 Stars
I love this recording. Ludwig as the Marschallin and Jones as Octavian may seem like strange casting to some, and certainly it represents Bernstein's own unique view of what the roles should sound like. However it works beautifully, and all of the singers are here shown at their absolute peak, so complaints are hard to take credibly. Bernstein's take is typically original at times, but he really gets the piece, and there is much sparkle in how it is done. He also handles the moody twilight reflection moments of the score beautifully. The one complaint I have about the reissue is that, typically for Bernstein recordings from almost anywhere, there is a somewhat distant or closed in sound to the recording. I do not know if this was a flaw of the original, or a cheaply done reissue. It is something I have noticed on his recordings with the NY Philharmonic as well. It lacks a certain sense of spaciousness (or resonance) in the sound. It can sound shallow, or narrow. Still, highly recommended and highly enjoyable. A recording that should NEVER be out of print.
