Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This 1960 recording hails from EMI's golden age under producer Walter Legge. He held all the key cards--soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, tenor Nicolai Gedda, and conductor Herbert von Karajan, all in their prime--and put them together with his London-based orchestra and the Vienna-based choir. Oddly, though, this recording never received its full due, perhaps because the original LP sound quality was rather substandard. This CD remastering is a minor miracle. It's now just as vivid and immediate as one could want from an early stereo recording, and the performance has all the power and inspiration of the young lion with none of the affectations of the more mature Karajan. There's also a good performance of Mozart's Symphony No. 38 ("Prague") plus an interview with Schwarzkopf, in which she confesses to having had vocal fatigue because she was also performing Falstaff at the time. --David Patrick Stearns
