Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In the days of vinyl Strauss Heroines might have featured just the extracts from Der Rosenkavalier. For soprano Renée Fleming, who concurrent with this release gave the role of the Marschallin at the Met, presents the "Monologue Scene" from Act I and the "Trio and Finale" from Act III complete. As on stage, mezzo Susan Graham appears as Octavian, while soprano Barbara Bonney is Sophie in the latter selections, returning as Zdenka for the duet from Act I of Arabella. The programme ends with the "Moonlight Music" and "Closing Scene" from Capriccio, and while bass-baritone Walter Berry and tenor Johannes Chum also appear, this concert belongs utterly to the deeply expressive tones of Fleming. Strauss had a passionate love of the soprano voice, and being fluent in German means that Fleming is able fully to explore the composer's complex characters, revealing an especial empathy for the Marschallin (however, although Fleming has yet to give Capriccio on stage, she notes that the finale is her favourite part of this recording). With a particularly sumptuous late-romantic sound and impeccable performances this is a release to treasure. --Gary S. Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars sublime and blissful, 7 April 2000
By A Customer
after her singing of strauss' FOUR LAST SONGS and the closing scene of DAPHNE everyone has been waitng for some more richard strauss on disc by renee fleming. although the title is a bit misleading (with "heroines" one wuld rather expect elektra or salome...), the whole cd holds a very high standard in modern strauss-interpretation. renee fleming ranks very high in the beautiful-voice-factor and strauss, as a commited lover of the female voice, would have adored her singing. as said, it is overall wonderfully expressive, sometimes even mannered (every now and then there is a hint of elisabeth schwarzkopf in her interpretation of the marschallin in DER ROSENKAVALIER - but this is meant as a big compliment), while the voice itself always remains delicate and ruby-coloured. there is hardly anyone nowadays who could sing these roles better. as for her colleagues, they are well chosen: the closing trio of DER ROSENKAVALIER boasts susan graham as octavian (she also participates in the closing scene of act 1) and barbara bonney as sophie (who also sings a charming zdenka in the duet from ARABELLA). graham and fleming have often performed together and their voices blend very well, although one could perhaps wish for a bit more distinction between the two, as their voices are somehow quite similar in colour - but susan graham is such a winning artist, that this hardly matters. barbara bonney is sweet and girlish, her vibrato starting to loosen a bit in the climax of the ROSENKAVALIER trio, but she, as the others, is totally inside the character she portrays. christoph eschenbach gets the most sumptuous sounds from the vienna philharmonic (indeed, the orchestral sound alone is ravishing) and his tempi (especially in DER ROSENKAVALIER) are indulgently slow, but without loosening the tension. all to the good! overall this is one of the most recommendable issues in straussian singing and every lover of richard strauss (or indeed one of the artists) should not hesitate to buy it.
