4.0 out of 5 stars A significant contribution to the Tannhauser discography, 19 April 2002

By A Customer

When the DG/Sinopoli recording of this work appeared, listeners rejoiced at the beauty and purity of Domingo's singing in the notoriously difficult title role. Here, Peter Seiffert does even better: not only does he have a bright and beautiful voice along with the requisite technique to cope with the part, but he is also a native German with fine dramatic insight, and the combination is simply more satisfying that Domingo's admirable but generalized intensity. In fact, one probably needs to go back to Melchior to hear better singing in this part. Even though Barenboim's conducting exhibits many extremes of tempo, his concentration generally holds things together well. Seiffert's colleagues are all admirable, even if they do not surpass their finest competitors in previous recordings. As Elisabeth, Eaglen does a commendable job in a role that isn't ideal for her, lightening her tone to convey youth and purity, but she is not ideally steady. Meier's Venus, though not especially rich in tone, is predictably compelling. It will come as no surprise that Pape is an impressive Landgraf: one of the best, yielding only to Frick, who can be heard under both Konwitschny (EMI) and Karajan (DG). As Wolfram, Thomas Hampson demonstrates his ever-expanding repertoire and growing richness of voice. His performance here is somewhat in the mold of Fischer-Dieskau (for Konwitschny), both in terms of the slimness of his timbre and his occasionally mannered delivery; a fuller sound and a more natural delivery, such as one finds with Waechter (for Karajan and Sawallisch) or Weikl (for Haitink and Davis on video) are more satisfying. The recorded sound is excellent (distinctly better than Sinopoli's). Barenboim's orchestra and chorus perform admirably, with even more security and splendor than in his earlier Lohengrin. The minor parts are all well taken, too, all of which adds up to a very satisfying performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars A perceptive treat..., 17 May 2007

By	John David Charles Hilton "Creative spark...." (Redcliffe, Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Baranboim's output as a conductor is quite in the same league as his paino playing, and considering his status as one of THE great living pianists, that is saying something.
The approach here tends to be lyrical, which gives the singers a chance to really SING... And sing they, do, with power or pathos or rage or indeed everything the score calls for.
The recorded sound and mix is superb.
It's not the greatest recording of this great work ever made, but it is damn fine and well worth those sheckles.
Lovers of Wagner operas need not hesitate.
[...]Highly recommended.
