A Comic-Opera Treasure!.......2007-01-28

Dittersdorf is a sort of working-man's Mozart; in fact, this opera sounds similar to some of Mozart's early operas. But Mozart sought to break the rules and to explore new musical ideas; Dittersdorf is not an innovator...yet he is no less a master! This performance, too, is a materpiece of refined (not always!) comedy; the arias include some extremely difficult vocal leaps and trills, yet the primary joy is the witty verse. W.H. Auden (no less!) ramrodded this translation to English. And Anna Russell, famed for her "Analysis of Wagner's Ring Cycle" steals every scene she's in! Ad-libbing shamelessly, her introductory aria, all by itself, is worth more than the purchase price!

an obscure delight!.......2002-07-31

Eleanor Steber's image on the cover of this set caught my eye while rummaging through the cut-out bins of San Francisco on a recent opera whirlwind. What a lost treasure this performance is - recorded "LIVE" in NYC 1965! All the principles shine, their energy ebullient. Don't hesitate, buy it and smile before it disappears.

I bless you, forests
It was in the early spring
Death
None but the lonely heart
Reconciliation
Sleep, poor friend
Dusk fel on the earth
The love of a dead man
My genius, my angel, my friend...
Why?
A tear trembles
Frenzied nights
Not a word, O my friend
I should like in a single word
Do not believe it, my friend
On the golden cornfields
No response, or word, or greeting
Amid the din of the ball
Don Juan's Serenade

A Must Have For Choral Lovers.......2000-01-25

I heard this CD on Temple's classical station WRTI and had to have it. The quality of the recording was great on my Bose radio. The etherial nature of this piece had me captivated. I couldn't leave until I had heard it in its entirety.Thanks for stocking it.

A Pretty Darn Good Lohengrin.......2005-04-14

I got this Lohengrin from the local library, and I tried to get a taste of what I was in for by looking it up here on Amazon.com. But to my dismay there were no reviews. And later, to even greater dismay on my part, I found that there is no reason for such a lack of reviews! For this is a solid Lohengrin. While Peter Hofmann is not the most vocally resplendent Lohengrin (he isn't a Konya or a Domingo), he turns is a good performance, and Karen Armstrong is a passionate Elsa who plays the part admirably. The rest of the cast is strong on the whole. But the real splendors of this set spring from the pit - Woldemar Nelsson (of whom I had never heard until I discovered this recording) leads the Beyreuth Festival orchestra in a burning account. They are a truly Wagnerian orchestra (it would be a shame if they weren't), and Nelsson brings out all the Master's colors. The energy of a live performance just pours out. Never have I heard the preludes and prominent sections played with such an intense timbre. It's amazing to hear.

Therefore, though this set doesn't match Kempe, Solti, or Leinsdorf overall, it is a strong alternate set that should not be ignored.

Album Description

Earth's Answer represents the finest of contemporary instrumental music. The role of this recording is twofold. It offers a taste of the music from Celestial Harmonies releases, by some of its most celebrated artists. The recording also embodies a grander vision and broader purpose which takes it well beyond its value as an excellent sampler; Earth's Answer was created to rejoice in the spirit of the Earth and the unity of its inhabitants. Indeed, the various selections reflect influences from cultures around the world such as Chinese, Turkish, Tibetan, Indian, and Native American. Specifically, these include works from Paul Horn's China, Brian Keane's soundtrack, Suleyman the Magnificent, Henry Wolff's Tibetan Bells II, Deuter's Land of Enchantment, and Carlos Nakai's Sundance Season. This release provides the opportunity to revel in the wisdom and spirit of the music of the world.
