5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back to an idiomatic Rosenkavalier, 13 April 2002
By A Customer
This recording of Rosenkavalier earned a lot of bad press when it was originally available, mainly due to the casting of Marianne Schech as the Marschallin, and a recording balance which favours the voices rather too much.
I have lived with this recording on tape for the last decade, and am overjoyed to finally have it available on CD. Schech is in fact a very moving Marschallin: the tone is rather unsteady at times, and the voice occasionally lightweight (though she was a Wagner singer, and a Chrysothemis, so the lightening of tone is clearly intentional) - but what this gives is a lovely sense of vulnerability.
Beyond Schech are the real glories of the set: Seefried's Octavian is impetuous and vivid; Streich's Sophie absolutely perfect. And above all, Bohm's conducting of the Dresden Staatskapelle is totally magical.
I speak as one who finds the Schwarzkopf/Karajan version rather over-precious, and like my Rosenkavalier with more fervour and lively humanity: and I find those qualities in the DG set - and at an excellent price.
