3.0 out of 5 stars Ho-hum, despite its reputation - but a must for Steber fans, 22 Dec 2007

By	Ralph Moore (Bishop's Stortford, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I am very conscious, as a veteran Amazon reviewer, that any review which does not laud a famous recording to the skies will attract unfavourable ratings from other fans, but I shall risk simply telling it as it is for me: I think this recording is over-rated. I admire many of the singers here in other performances and I have no criticism at all of Steber's lovely Elsa, which is a thing of beauty: full, subtly inflected, wholly in character and always steady and beautiful of tone. But there are too many drawbacks compared with, say, the classic Kempe studio recording. Of course, this is a live recording and really not bad as such - although there's a lot of hiss, some coughing, and a rather distant acoustic. I don't much mind that; the ear soon adjusts - but I miss the still, rapt, mystical quality Kempe brings to this score. Keilberth - so effective in his comparable "Fliegende Hollaender" of two years later - is here, by comparison with Kempe, merely efficient. In addition, I think that the lower voices often sound gritty, unsteady and lacking in resonance (listen to Greindl strain in Band 5 of Disc 1) - though they are better than Otto Wiener's nasal Herald in the Kempe - and Uhde is much steadier in the later Dutchman than we find him here, where he pushes and strains too often. Windgassen is good but does not outshine Jess Thomas in the Kempe; Thomas has that extra heroic edge and finds more poignancy in his utterance than does Windgassen. Varnay is terrific and terrifying (if a tad squally - always the problem with this role) as Ortrud, but again, no better than Ludwig in the Kempe and although I am not generally a Fischer-Dieskau fan, he does a fine job as the neurotic Telramund alongside Ludwig's convincing incarnation of pure evil. In short, I do not see how this set, for all its virtues, outshines the Kempe and shall remain loyal to that when I want to hear this wonderful opera, especially as Grummer's performance is as heartfelt as Steber's. Or, of course, there is also the excellent Kubelik studio recording with Janowitz and Stewart (see my review).
