4.0 out of 5 stars Very nearly great!, 25 Jul 2004
This recording is so nearly great, irritatingly so. The problem is the casting: Julia Varady is just perfect, singing like a true Empress throughout. The vulnerability is evident in the voice which the role demands, as well as the majesty that this mastersinger always brings to her work. Hildegard Behrens as the Dyer's wife is as perfect as ever, always enlightening and insightful, never just belting like Birgit Nilsson (with all due respect). Jose van Dam is simply unsurpassed as Barak, the Dyer. As the voice of the Falcon, Sumi Jo is the only exponent to sing this small part like a real role, rather than a bit part, which is so common in most performances nowadays; the voice always beautifully placed and sensitively sung.
The remaining principal cast are the problem. Reinhild Runkel as the Nurse is just to blowsy to seem menacing, not even coming close to Marjana Lipovsek at the Salzburg Festival (also for Solti, on DVD). The Emperor of Placido Domingo is awful: The once great tenor just sounds tired, his German is dreadful, unidiomatic and unstylistic. We really needed Thomas Moser here (from the same performance as Lipovsek).
As always, Sir Georg Solti is magnificent in Strauss, inspiring unequalled playing from great Vienna Philharmonic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Triumph without a Shadow, 24 Oct 2008
This glorious opera contains some of Strauss's very greatest, sumptuous and heart-warming music, fully matched by a great cast and the greatest post-war Strauss conductor. The sound recording is a triumph too -the balance between singers and orchestra is perfect and the orchestral sound beautifully balanced and blended (Solti had his part to play in this as well, of course). Domingo sings with the most ardent, golden tone. José van Dam is another highly intelligent singer - intelligent enough, like Domingo, to be ready to learn from all Solti's experience of Strauss's music. Behrens and Varady both give deeply moving, empassioned performances. A must-have which will never be outclassed.
