Merci Monsieur. A bientôt à l'opération.

Wo ist der vierte Teil?

What a joy to discover this neglected opera, which Strauss thought highly of all his life. Uneven moments (and this is the 1940’s cut and revised version) but there is much first-rate Strauss here. Excellent performance, am surprised at the high quality of the orchestra and singers. Conductor shapes it well. Minimal “staging”…but I’ve seen worse, and it serves its purpose. A great discovery, thank you so much for making it available!

Es ist das Beste

Silbere mund immer fuer immer

Berbl blib und berln

Meine fuesse sind ja vor det frueu asgesort

Bin in tunskirch

Die katze war heiss

No-one does orchestration like this any more. Sadly.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE NAME OF THE CAST CREW?

Conductor: Gustav Kuhn Orchestra: Orchester der Tiroler Festspiele Erl Chorus: Männerchor der Tiroler Festspiele Erl Guntram, a Singer: Gian Luca Zampieri, tenor The Old Duke: Andrea Martin, bass Freihild, his daughter: Elena Comotti, soprano Duke Robert, her husband: Raphael Sigling, baritone The Duke's Jester: Christian Brüggemann, tenor An Old Man: Stephan Zelck, tenor An Old Woman: Monika Waeckerle, mezzo soprano Friedhold, a singer: Thomas Gazheli, bass Briefly Guntram tells of the knight Guntram who is a champion of love and peace. He is appalled at the acts of tyranny and cruelty by Duke Robert. He saves Freihild, Duke Robert's wife when in despair, because the Duke has forbidden her to aid the poor, she ties to drown herself. In gratitude, Freihild's father, the old Duke (yes it is confusing) grants Guntram's request that the poor be freed. But this action infuriates the Duke Robert who remains suspicious of Guntram. Act II takes place in the castle where new found peace is being celebrated. Freihild persuades Guntram to sing his passionate plea for peace and of the horrors of war. His audience is moved, that is all except Duke Robert who is madly jealous and orders Guntram's arrest after a messenger bursts in to bring the news that war has flared up again. . Duke Robert attacks Guntram. Guntram kills Robert in self-defence.The old Duke is outraged when he hears the news and believing Guntram is guilty of murder has the luckless knight thrown into prison. Act III opens in the dungeon where Guntram is imprisoned. Guntram expresses his remorse explaining to Freihild that he is guilty in as much as he was jealous of Duke Robert's possession of Freihild. She asserts her love and pleads with Guntram to escape. Even though his name is cleared, he declares that for his sin of jealousy he must renounce his love for Freihild and leave her to carry on her altruistic works as the new Duchess.

Why won't people record like the did 60 years ago? Didn't they use one or two microphones and then just placed them above the stage? The orchestra can be heard anyway. But this is good!

Kuhn + Wagner = <3

The conductor (Kuhn) and Guntram (Zampieri) are very enjoyable. This is such a wonderful composition.

I often wonder if I am the only person in England who thinks this work is an absolute masterpiece.

Kann mich absolut nicht überzeugen von der szenischen Seite her, das wallende, rote Tuch passt zum Schluß "Götterdämmerung" oder wurde bei Herrn Kriegenburg aus dem Münchner "Siegfried" abgeschaut. Unnötige Kraxelei wie einst bei Harry Kupfer. Musikalisch ist dieses Werk für die Protagonisten eine Höchstleistung, die sehr gut bewältigt wurde; vor allem auch das Dirigat. Trotz meiner, vielleicht doch etwas altklug anmutenden Kritik verdient die Aufführung sehr hohen Respekt. Weil ich das Werk sehr schätze, bin ich eben hier sehr kritisch.

Mitreißend? Ich sehe eine quasi konzertante Aufführung mit Requisiten als Notlösung und einem akustisch dominierenden Orchester. Allein dafür lohnt sich der Kauf dieser DVD sicherlich nicht. Cynthia Makris` Karriere hab ich seit den 80er Jahren verfolgt. Dass sie nicht wirklich eine Elektra ist, ist hörbar, allerdings bin ich erstaunt, dass sie die Partie dennoch ordentlich hinbekommen hat.
