5 out of 5 stars Grand musical experience.......2004-06-19

Vastly underrated, this is a stunning version of the Mahagonny classic. Sweeping, moving, unforgettable.
Purists may prefer Lotte Lenya's version, but for a new generation of Mahagonny listeners this may very well be their ultimate version. Not to be missed, this version rocks! Judge for yourself.

1 out of 5 stars "MAHAGONNY" Will Survive This Poor Recording!.......1999-07-03

Although I'd never call myself an expert, I do own and prize the Sony recording of this opera with Lotte Lenya in the role of "Jenny" besides many cd's with excerpts and I have seen several performances in New York starring, among others, Teresa Stratas. This 1988 Capriccio digital recording should have much better sound than the Sony which was made in the mid-1950's. It certainly does NOT have better sound and that is far from the worst thing about it: I am told that Anja Silja ("Jenny") had a major career as an opera singer/actress. On this recording she is, most of the time, screeching and seemingly searching for the correct notes. She slides, dips, scoops and her vibrato is more like the tremors of an earthquake. Wolfgang Neumann fares better as "Jimmy" but in his major Act 2 area, his final note sounds as if he were being strangled in the studio. Alot of the music is played so excruciatingly slowly that it seems stretched out to the point that it is merely mushy. Certainly, there is no drama here with so many of the performers, inc. Silja, trying to sound "pretty" and failing. Anny Schlemm does best in the character role of "Leocadia Begbick" but even she is done in by the tempi and lackluster dynamics. If you want to hear this incredible piece of music-theatre, buy the Sony recording.
