Customer Reviews:

The Lohengrin excerpts are beyond compare.......2005-09-24

I love all of this recording, but it's the long excerpts from Lohengrin, especially the duet between Orturd and Elsa, that steals the show. Early on Schwarzkopf performed the role of Elsa on stage, I believe, but she never recorded the entire role. She would have bene incomparable, and Christa Ludwig, already a legendary Ortrud in the classic Kempe set, outdoes that performance by a mile in vehemence and vocal fireworks. I hope you get the chance to be as thrilled as I was when I first heard this great CD.

Birgit Nilsson's second recording of this role reflects greater mastery of the Chinese princess who beheads her failed suitors. More important, it pairs her with her famous partner/nemesis, tenor Franco Corelli. Together, they're thrillingly well matched with a welcomely edgy sense of competition. Renata Scotto is a dramatically alert presence as Liu. Another more odd distinction is the three character roles of Ping, Pang, and Pong: They have some of the loveliest music in the opera, which is rendered with unmatched expressivity and mellifluousness thanks to conductor Francesco Molinari-Pradelli. --David Patrick Stearns

Customer Reviews:

Caballe at her best.......1999-01-03

Granted, she may not have the dramatic fire and insight of Maria Callas, but she does possess what may arguably be the most beautiful soprano voice of the past 50 years. These recordings represent Caballe at her peak -- early 1970's -- and proves that her technical control was indeed a thing of wonder. Listen to Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene; this could very well be the best-sung version on record. Not to mention the gorgeous pianissimo high C at the end of "O Patria Mia." A valuable recording for fans of Caballe and of fine singing.
