  • In the composer’s opera on the Arthurian tale of Tristan and Isolde, death is explicitly twinned with love, and the guiding themes of this recording come together in a piece whose very name combines the two concepts, the rapturous “Liebestod” (Love- Death), Isolde’s outpouring of love as she sinks lifeless on the body of the dead Tristan. Recording this aria for her latest Album “amata dalle tenebre” was, in the Anna Netrebko's words, “one of the happiest moments for me as a musician. I was flying when I was recording that, blissfully happy, in harmony with the music.” As part of the album project the Italian director Elena Petitti di Roreto shot a series of four music videos and the film “Anna - Stage of Emotions”, immortalizing Netrebko’s performances and translating them to screen in a unique visual language and style. Amata dalle tenebre' is the superstar soprano’s first classical solo album for five years. She recorded her choice of music, spanning some of the most dramatic and impassioned arias in the repertoire, at Milan’s legendary La Scala, with the Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala under La Scala’s Music Director, Riccardo Chailly.

    OK then:
    So Birgit Nilsson was asked how she felt about singers using microphones in the opera house. She said that she was against it because then anyone could sing Isolde.
    Ladies and gentlemen we now have Birgit Nilsson's concern laid bare.
    Netrebko once upon a time had a beautiful peaches and cream lyric voice, suitable for Traviata.
    Violetta should not sing Isolde and Isolde should not sing Violetta.
    I know this score very very well. Quite frankly there are very unreasonable spots in terms of orchestration wherein Wagner has Isolde singing in the middle or low middle against too much orchestra.
    Even the biggest voices, Nilsson, Flagstad, Varnay etc are buried here and there. One doesn't really care because the overall effect is so emotional that the composer getting carried away every now and then is understandable.
    We have Netrebko, who is not exactly known for her marble like low middle, actually sounding "louder" than the above named full dramatic soprano legends in those same spots.
    That tells me one thing, and one thing only. This is a studio Liebestod done by a singer who cannot sing this music live with an orchestra unless she is heavily amplified.
    Now others here commented upon her poor intonation, and at times inappropriately bright tone color for the role. Those are problems. They are however secondary to the obvious fraud being committed here.
    If I were a Wagnerian singer I would be really pissed off by this dreadful and dishonest recording.

      Thank you for that comment. I, like thousands of others, love this piece and I have listened to several versions, Meier's concert version with Barenboim being my favourite. However, I have virtually no technical knowledge of music. This version, though, did not ring true to me and I could not put my finger on why. It sounded impressive, but not authentic.
      What you have written, though, makes perfect sense to me. Many of the voices, even the biggest, cannot be clearly heard above the orchestration at certain points, and this is not the case here, I suspect for the reason you have given.

      @@84422112 Yep.
      I have conducted 2 Wagner operas in regional house settings, Tannhauser and Dutchman. Our house singers, the lyric singers, heard just how big those orchestras are in terms of amplitude and said "There's no way our voices could sing over that."
      The singers who could were also house singers, but HAD the natural size to do the roles.
      It's unfair to those singers because there is a lot of repertoire that isn't for them due to the size of their voices.
      That is why they specialize in Wagner, Richard Strauss, Fidelio, or Berg.
      Un Fil Di Voce is a gift and Netrebko could do it once upon a time. Now she can't but she also has no business doing Wagner.
      She spoiled her instrument by forcing it to do things she should never have done.

      I felt exactly the same when I listened (to my surprise and then incomprehension) to the 2006 production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Salzburg, Netrebko singing Susanna (!!!)
      I was hoping frankly a great effort from her to do something different in Mozart than all the Russian operas and belcanto roles she made her reputation with, but her voice was simply too heavy for Mozart.
      Listening to her Liebestod is like taking sleeping pills. It is so boring that I also wonder why she didn’t leave Wagner for specialists instead of doing off-topic stuff she apparently doesn’t really match.

    This is a very sad video. The lady has a lovely voice, and, when she sings in the medium register and quietly (as at the beginning of this extract) the sound is very beautiful. However, anything high and/or loud is a total mess, a ghastly mixture of no text and a wobble one could drive a bus through. When Mme Netrebko was a young woman, singing the light soprano repertoire which is her real voice, there was hope, but now there is just screaming, and DG are making a lot of money and so is the lady herself, thanks to her adoring fans, who know no better. As many others here have said, listen to Nilsson or Flagstad, or Frieda Leider, if you want to hear the right voice-type performing this summit of the soprano literature.

      I completely agree with you! In my humble opinion, perhaps the best version of the "Liebestod" was performed in 1987, by Jessye Norman, with the orchestra being conducted by the mighty maestro Herbert von Karajan. Superb. Unsurpassed. Nowadays we see Deutsche Grammophon being musically guided by people who do not have a single talent and taste for music, only for money and publicity. Sadly, what a sham...

    This is just hell. Her voice cannot compete with an orchestra this size therefore she amplifies it. Isolde requires a massive voice to soar above the orchestra. Singers like Nilsson and Behrens had this type of voice and so did Dimitrova,. even though she never sang the role only the Liebestod so did Dame Joan Sutherland. Her voice lasted for 40 years because she never sang anything that would jeopardize her career. Sutherland had the voice to sing it of course but chose not. Sutherland, Nilsson, Behrens or Dimitrova never amplify their voices because they were properly trained with impeccable breathing techniques. Netrebko had a beautiful voice in her younger days and now she sounds like a demented witch trying out for an amateur opera company

Miss you HvK!!!! And so is Thielemann equally as guilty for putting his name to the recording of Strauss´s Four Last Songs by her, also appearing under the DG label. A fucking shame und eine Frechheit!!

    Evidentemente, pur amandola profondamente, non riesco a capire fino in fondo la musica di Wagner. Inoltre, non riesco a distinguere una perfetta interpretazione da parte di una cantante da un'altra di minore qualità. Almeno secondo quanto leggo in molti raffinati commenti. So solo che sono profondamente commosso dal modo in cui la Netrebko ha reso la dimensione sublime del Liebestod. So solo che ho trovato il video efficace e intenso. So solo che ringrazio il cielo per l'esistenza stessa di Anna.

Anyway, let's just quit this obsessive need to classify and rank singers in a hierarchy as if only the very best #1 recording or performance mattered. All operas would long be dead if that were true. All performers, not necessarily vying to be the best ever, bring something new and personal to their renditions.

    Exactly today the Mathilde-Wesendonck-Verband exists 10 years. It was founded - mainly because of Mild und Leise.
    Me too - I´m not a fan of Netrepko - especially because she flirts with the current russian dictator and successor of Stalin.
    Her voice here is not - mild - it is too loud, too sharp and words - are hardly to understand.
    But the pictures - are mindblowing, though brutally copied from Lars von Trier "Melancholia" - where von Trier pictures the ouvertuere and final of "Tristan and Isolde".
    Though - after all:
    It is the most beautiful of the most beautiful melodies.
    Thanks - Richard Wagner. Thanks Mathilde Wesendonck which made him feel such unfulfilled love and pain and music.

    Ich lebe sei vielen Jahren in Bayreuth , habe mich aber nie für die Wagner Opern im Festspielhaus interessiert, weil mich die srundenlange
    Sitzerei nervt und die unpassenden "modernen" Bühnenbilder oft völlig absurd sind.
    2015 wurde die Neu-Inszenierung von Tristan und Isolde erstmals live im Bayreuther Kino übertragen und ich entschloß mich dazu, sie im bequemen Kinosessel anzusehen, mit deutschen Untertiteln, was das Verständnis wesentlich erleichtert.
    Trotzdem war ich enttäuscht , denn die meisten Arien und Duette sind unmelodisch ! So empfand ich es auch bei einer TV-Sendung von
    Lohengrin vor vielen Jahren. Da gab es wenigstns noch klassische Bühnenbilder. aber auch da waren allenfalls die Chöre gut anzuhören.
    Ich finde, Wagner ist völlig überbewertet, der ganze Kult um ihn lächerlich.
    Für Klassik - Einsteiger empfehle ich die wunderbaren Melodien der Komponisten Verdi und Puccini !!!

Many people love Anna and enjoy everything she does. That is their right and I bet that those who think they know what Wagner wanted couldn't even hit one note like she does. So, perhaps they ought to shut up and enjoy another singer's work, which is their right.
