Forget the superannuated Three Tenors; Ben Heppner, with his huge voice, tonal brilliance, and interpretive sensitivity, is a 1990s throwback to the greats of the past. In this repertory, he's king of the hill. The recital's delights begin with a golden-voiced, 40-minute Wagner set chockfull of vocal thrills, made all the more compelling by Heppner's rhythmic mastery and discreet rubato. You expect excitement from a tenor with his ringing top, but just as impressive is the delicate soft singing that makes the Korngold aria, to take but one of many examples, a moving experience. Good accompaniments. Slightly subpar engineering doesn't dim the attractions of this outstanding disc. --Dan Davis

A foretaste of greatness to come.......2006-08-29

RCA made two hits when they signed up two great singers early in their careers--Thomas Quasthoff and Ben Heppner. In both cases the voice sounded great but the interpretations had yet to reach their full depth and feeling. This CD of German opera excerpts, with its large chunk of Wanger, presages the enormous career Heppner would have as the world's leading Heldentenor. The voice is young and fresh--listen to the ravishing legato in the big aria from Die Tote Stadt--but there's a lot of growth to come. The readings tend to be rather literal and stiff, as does the conducting. Fans will love everything here anyway, and so do I, with reservations.

Not the worst I've heard.......2003-09-26

This is a nice long program with many opportunities for Heppner to be heard in the best possible light. But please; nothing against big Ben, but those who would have you believe that he is a great heldentenor are mistaken on two counts. A: he's not a heldentenor. And B: he's not a great anything. He's the best of the current voices in this repertoire but calling him great just diminishes the true greatness in the history of opera singing.
When Melchior retired, Suthaus and Windgassen suffered in comparison to the great Dane. Their recordings now stand on their own merits. Jon Vickers was followed by Kollo,Jerusalem, Hofman, Goldberg, and Lakes. These fine tenors were found wanting due to the huge shadow cast by the great Vickers. With true greatness so long gone, Heppner came along at just the right time when standards and expectations would not be nearly so high.
Wagnerian tenors succeed through endurance, power or beauty of tone. Heppner has a few ringing high notes but beauty of tone is rarely heard. And his Tristan performances don't speak well for his vocal stamina.
Among recent recordings in this repertoire, Kollo, Jerusalem and Lakes offer far more beautiful singing. And Goldberg and Hofman offer ringing high notes as well as tonal beauty. Don't be sold by record company promoters or music directors who realize that he's simply the best of the current lot. Heppner isn't the heldentenor of our times, he's just the handy tenor of our times.

MAGNIFICENT........2001-02-05

What a magnificent album: Ben Heppner could easily be called the finest Wagnerian heldentenor singing today. I was fortunate enough to hear him in the title role of Wagner's "Lohengrin" at the Metropolitan Opera House a few seasons ago in a startling production by Robert Wilson. Heppner's voice is strong and clear and beautifully produced. And even when he is singing with that mighty, huge Met orchestra, he never loses the sweetness in his voice which is one of its most precious qualities. This year he took on the role of 'Florestan' in Beethoven's "Fidelio" in New York and that character's major aria is gorgeously done on this album. Besides the six Wagner excerpts, my personal favorite is from Korngold's "Die Tote Stadt." Highly Recommended for anyone who loves Wagner or for anyone who has no real exposure to him and would like to begin with a beautiful album.

Ben Heppner is arguably the top Heldentenor.......2000-07-05

Although I am not a big fan of recordings of this kind, preferring instead either complete scenes or Acts instead of selected arias, it would be hard to seriously fault this record. Heppner's pitch control is excellent and he reallys sings instead of resorting to declamation (once referred to as the Bayreuth Bark). The orchestral playing and conducting is successful too, as is the sound engineering. All the items on this release are interesting, but I wonder why the Preislied from Meistersinger was excluded, which may well be his signature aria. It is a generous program and the notes are well written. Recommended.

Heppner made a German Opera fan out of me........2000-04-27

Before Heppner came around I had little interest in German music, other than Beethoven, and Mozart. His interpretation of these arias, as well as his disc of Strauss arias converted me. He never barks this music, but sings with artistry, and technical mastery. He infuses this music with the technique of an italian singer, and gives this music the beauty it deserves. After listening to Heppner sing these operas, I did more exploring, and found that there were other singers, who sang German opera beautiful as well. Thanks to Heppner and his beautiful singing, apparent on this disc, I have been opened to this music.

Der Rosenkavalier: The Premiere Recording.......2006-01-24

This early 60's recording of Strauss' Der Rosenvalier has long been regarded as the finest interpretation of the work on record, even in light of modern recording advantages such as better sound quality. Because Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is forever associated with the epitome of a Straussian/German soprano, and especially for her signature role as the Marschallin, this recording has never slipped into obscurity and remains a hot item. Herbert Von Karajan conducts the Strauss score with utmost brilliance, though at a slow and stately pace. The waltzes are simultaneously dizzying and sleep-inducing, Karajan suffuses the music with theatricality and comedy, the arias are virtuosic and the Final Trio/Presentation of the Rose scene is unbelievable, ethereal and magical. Through it all, there is a sort of old school charm.

The singers: Other than the unbeatable performance of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, we have here the grand mezzo soprano Christa Ludwig as Octavian. Ludwig's artistry is well known and well documented in many recordings. Capable of singing in the mezzo range, she was also able to reach high notes with agility and with ease. She is noted especially for her Leonore in Fidelio, but her Adalgisas, Susukis and Lieder repertoire are terrific. Ludwig shades her voice so that she fully immerses herself in the role of the dashing young man in love with the more experienced Marschallin. There is no fault to be found in her singing, and she is the equal of Schwarzkopf in this recording as far as great voice. The light lyric soprano Teresa Stich-Randall was a renowned Mozart soprano in her time, but her voice is too chirpy and light for my taste. But in the role of the pretty ingenue Sophie in this opera, it suits her well. The baritone Otto Edelman has fun with his role as the Baron. He sings in a basso-buffo style but has enough power in the high register to essay the florid music. And it is florid when one considers the extended scene between the Baron and Sophie which features the long waltz. Without a doubt, this recording will never go out of print. Other than this recording, there are other editions both on Mono and on Stereo. For excellent sound from the orchestra courtesy of Mr. Karajan, the stereo sounds great. But if you prefer to wrap yourself in the voice alone, the Mono sound is for you.

A justly famous first-generation "Der Rosenkavalier"........2003-01-20

As one who heard two of the principals in this famous old recording (Schumann and Olszewska at the end of their careers), I ought perhaps to lead off a discussion and review of this latest of its reissues.

By 1933 it was becoming clear that this most delectable and brilliantly scripted opera was likely to retain a permanent place in the international repertory. EMI's leading producer, Fred Gaisberg, had attended performances in London and Vienna given by a notable cast of singers usually conducted by Bruno Walter, and he commenced planning for a Vienna recording. As with most opera recording projects, however, there needed to be compromises. Firstly, the opera was too lengthy to record and issue on 78s. Secondly, the idea of having Strauss himself conduct it had to be abandoned because he demanded too high a fee. Lehmann's recording contracts allowed her to be included, but neither Bruno Walter as conductor nor Delia Reinhardt as the preferred Octavian could be engaged. Ultimately the project went ahead and an abridged version of the opera, reduced to about half its total duration, was recorded and released on thirteen 78s.

In 1951, on BBC radio, I heard Elisabeth Schumann play the recording of the final duet in this opera. She introduced it as follows: "I must let you into a little secret concerning this record. When we were making these records in Vienna Lotte Lehmann forgot two notes she had to sing. You may recall that just before the final duet Sophie's father remarks to the Marschallin how amazing young people are and the Marschallin replies, 'Ja, ja'. With the trio over, Lotte Lehmann thought her part in the recording was over and retired to her country house near Vienna. There were too many complications involved in getting Miss Lehmann back and so I sang the two words 'Ja, ja'. You must admit I did it very well." Subsequent research has revealed that the final duet was in fact the first item of the project to be recorded, on the first morning of the schedule, and that Lotte Lehmann had not yet arrived. Nevertheless Schumann did substitute for her great friend and colleague and the "take" was approved immediately.

Seventy years later, this splendid Mark Obert-Thorn reissue allows this recording to be heard with greater ease and clarity than ever before. Even so, listeners must bear in mind that recording techniques of the 1930s were barely adequate for capturing the richness of the orchestral score or the intricate vocal textures of the many trios and duets. Singing styles, moreover, differ from today's: both Richard Mayr and Elisabeth Schumann lay the portamento on very thickly. It is, nevertheless, a justly famous cast and one that became closely associated with the opera almost (but not quite) from the time of its 1911 premiere.

Lehmann's Marschallin meets all the requirements of the part. Womanly, wise, accepting of disappointment and generous in her nobility, this Marschallin commands attention throughout. Having exactly the kind of silvery voice and enchanting personality that match the role of Sophie, Elisabeth Schumann makes Sophie a more dominant character than is often the case. How well she depicts girlishness after acknowledging the presentation of the silver rose ("I am looking forward to being married? Are you looking forward too?", and how well she ticks off Baron Ochs in the final act ( "I've done and finished with you")! Happily, almost all Sophie's music was retained in this abridged recording. Maria Olszewska's Octavian is perhaps more impressive for purely vocal richness than for character insights. Richard Mayr, Viennese born and bred, created the part of Baron Ochs at the opera's Vienna premiere in 1911 and remained its most celebrated exponent until the time of his death not long after this recording was made. Much of his part of the opera is omitted in this recording but enough remains to show his fluency in the Viennese accent and some highly musical clowning.

Both Lehmann and Mayr are represented in individual extracts from this opera, which Naxos provide as an appendix to this recording.

Of over 600 songs, Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore realized over three-quarters: these are those. Gerald Moore was of course as important to this project as Fischer-Dieskau.

EMI's "society" subscription editions in the 1930s yielded a wealth of recordings long considered gramophone classics, such as the present collection of roughly half of Hugo Wolf's lieder output. Each song occupies its own specific world, due to Wolf's resourceful word setting and his avoidance of anything generic. In turn, the performers illuminate each song's felicities with effortless authority, and they avoid overpointing or enacting. Full texts and translations are included. Ernest Newman's penetrating annotations for the original 78 albums, reprinted in EMI's 1981 LP reissue, are absent. --Jed Distler

The Hugo Wolf Society Recordings.......2005-12-28

The songs of Hugo Wolf (1860 -- 1903)combine great attention to textual detail with closely intertwined writing for the voice and the piano. In this small form, Wolf was a master and took song in a different direction from that of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms. He wrote most of his songs in bursts of activity in five large collections, devoted to the poetry of Morike, Eichendorff, Goethe, and to collections of Spanish and Italian texts. He also composed a number of songs in shorter sets.

In the early 1930s, a young Walter Legge began a project of recording Wolf songs on a subscribtion basis to be limited to 500 sets. The recording industry was relatively new, and Wolf, then as now, too little appreciated. The result was an extensive series of recordings of issued between 1931 and 1938 consisting of 145 songs, about one-half Wolf's output, performed by fourteen singers. The Hugo Wolf Society recordings remain a high moment in the recording of song. They were remastered on LPs and, in 1998, in this 5 CD collection which includes previously unreleased selections.

The Wolf Society collection offers an unparalleled opportunity to get to know Wolf's songs performed by artists of the past that might otherwise be unfamiliar to many listeners. The performers include mezzo-soprano Elena Gerhardt, who recorded the initial volume for the society, baritones Herbert Janssen, Gerhard Husch, tenors John McCormack, Karl Erb, and Helge Roswaenge, the basses Alexander Kipnis, Frederich Schorr, and Ludwig Weber, and sopranos Alexandra Trianti, Elizabeth Rethberg, Ria Ginster, Marta Fuchs, and Tiana Lemnitz. The pianists include Conrad Bos, Gerald Moore, Michael Raucheisen, Hans Udo Muller, and Ernest Victor Wolff.

The singers perform in a variety of styles from the highly operatic to the quietly lyrical. There is a Wagnerian performance of Goethe's "Prometheus" by Friedrich Schorr with the London Symphony Orchestra -- the only track using an orchestral accompaniment. The Irish tenor John McCormack shows a more lyrical approach in his renowned performance of Goethe's poem "Ganymed". The sopranos, Alexandra Trianti, Ria Ginster, and Tiana Lemitz have light, clear, bell-like voices. I find the singers on this compilation take a much more individualized, idiosyncratic, and romantic approach to song than do their modern counterparts, who sometimes seem restrained and chaste by comparison.

Each of Wolf's great collections of songs is well-represented. Elena Gerhardt performs songs from each of Wolf's five books, with the exception of the Goethe songs. The young Alexander Kipnis gives a powerful reading of Wolf's three songs from Michaelangelo. The third CD in this collection features many songs from the Italian songbook performed by soprano Ginster, baritone Husch, and bass Kipnis together with recordings from the Spanish songbook by sopranos Rethberg and Ginster and baritone Husch. There are lovely performances by soprano Tiana Lemnitz in the previously uncollected supplementary material, which also includes several Eichendorff songs and a performance of the Goethe-song "Phanomen" by Alexander Kipnis.

There is a great amount of material in this collection, with each of the 5 CDs including in excess of 70 minutes of music. Most of Wolf's songs are highly concentrated and intense. They may prove difficult to the listener coming to them knowing only the lyricism of Schubert. I would not recommend trying to rush through this set at one or two hearings. It is best to take this music in small sections and to listen with text in hand. The compilation includes texts and translations for each of the songs together with good notes about the Wolf Society recording project. There is little discussion about Wolf or about the songs themselves.

This is an essential collection for those who love song, historical recordings, and the music of Hugo Wolf.

"Even little things can delight us.".......2003-06-02

If these six words give an approximate translation of the song "Auch kleine Dinge", then they might also describe a music lover's reaction as he makes a journey of exploration through the hundreds of little songs composed by Hugo Wolf.

Walter Legge, a very young EMI record producer in the 1930s, first made such a journey possible when he pioneered the Hugo Wolf Society and began releasing the volumes now reissued in this boxed set. Many singers were invited to participate. Legge's choice of singers was sometimes idiosyncratic. You might wonder how an Irish tenor, a Ukrainian bass and a Greek soprano were admitted to the roster. The results, however, especially in the case of the contributions of John McCormack and Alexander Kipnis, prove the sureness of his instincts.

About half Wolf's songs were made available in the original issue, between 1931 and 1938. With this reissue comes unused and hitherto unissued recordings, many by Tiana Lemnitz and Herbert Jannsen. So there is now more to discover and exploration is made easier for us in 2003 than it was in the 1930s. The remastering has improved the sound, Legge's widow Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is able to provide a perceptive introduction in an accompanying booklet, and the texts of the songs are now provided in German and English.

Wolf sung by various Lieder singers.......2000-08-15

This is an extraordinary collection of Wolf songs. It is frustrating that the project was not completed, as the quality of what was recorded is so extraordinarily revelatory. My personal favourites are the Michelangelo settings sung by the bass Alexander Kipnis, although he uncharacteristically makes some textual errors. The contributions of Hüsch are numerous and thoughtfully sung, and Karl Erb, Herbert Janssen, Ludwig Weber, Rita Ginster and Marta Fuchs are all caught on extraordinary form, with accompanists of admittedly variable quality, ranging from the sublime Gerald Moore to some very interesting contributions from some accompanists who did not really capture the true essence of Lieder accompanying, which surely cannot permit the piano to be subservient to the voice!

These precious recordings offer us so much. They are a document of a golden age of Lieder singing, and they are superb recitals, sung by a variety of voices, never allowing the listener to tire of listening to a single voice for too long. They are also, of course, examples of some of the most wonderful Lieder writing of any time. These 5 cds are a must for a Lieder specialist, and can open new doors to the novice. Buy them, and never regret having this treasure trove which will give you pleasure all your life.

An encyclopedic collection of Schubert songs, Volume 2.......2005-10-26

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (born 1925) is considered by many to be the foremost authority on Schubert Lieder for the male voice in our time. He likely made more recordings of this area of music than any other singer, having not only this 9 disc set, but another 9 disc set (Volume 1) for DG, the three complete song cycles: "Schwanengesang", "Die Schone Mullerin" and "Winterreise" (DG, Volume 3 of Fischer-Dieskau's Lieder edition), plus a 6 disc set of Schubert Lieder for EMI, also with Gerald Moore. Figure in the earlier recordings from the late 1940s, and live recitals on such labels as Orfeo, and there are ALOT of Fischer-Dieskau Schubert lieder recordings available.

Critics of vocal recitals and lieder may have other opinions, but I think this is as fine a collection as any. I keep this, like Volume 1, to be able to refer to a given song, not to listen to disc after disc of Schubert Lieder in one sitting, even though all are delightful works. Fischer-Dieskau manages to make Schubert's simple, strophic songs sound like great masterpieces, perhaps greater than they really are. And pianist Gerald Moore is an excellent partner: Moore and Fischer-Dieskau work as one, in perfect sync.

Keep in mind these are all songs for male voice, and not the complete Schubert songs. DG should be commended for releasing these recordings on CD and keeping them before the public. If you are really a Schubert completist, consider also the complete Hyperion Schubert Edition, with Graham Johnson, piano, and singers such as Lucia Popp, Peter Schreier, Janet Baker, Stephen Varcoe, Maragaret Price, Ian Bostridge, Martyn Hill singing all the 700+ songs Schubert composed in his short lifetime (1797-1828; Schubert's first lieder were composed about 1815). (The Hyperion Schubert edition is available in Great Britain for about $250 for 40 discs, if you cannot find it in the US).

For further comment, please see my remarks for DG, Volume 1 of Schubert Lieder by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

Make up your mind to this journey........2001-02-07

Since this set of Schubert lieder (3 boxes, 21 cds in all) has become a legedary classic, I don't think I should make any comment. But just a suggestion to those who want to embark on these discs. Make up your mind on this journey. On facing such a tome record arranged and sung chronically, it's useless and wrong only to listen to some famous lieder or discs or just listen randomly. You should spare a long period of time, begin by listening from the very first disc to the last disc. And, during the period do not listen to any lied of other composers. Then gradually, lied by lied, disc by disc, you will forget this is Fischer-Diskau and Moore---This is a real life of a great soul! You are really touching and breathing with a great soul! Feel the sound of schubert, feel his struggle, his emotion, his feeling, his hate and love. Feel how those youthful spontaneous and raw lieder gradually developed into fully ripened masterpieces. Such wonderful experience belongs only to really patient listeners.

It took me about 2 full weeks to listen to the whole 21 discs. Fischer-Diskau and Moore chose the "Abschied(Farewell)" to be the last lieder read (this song happened to be the only lied of Schubert to be recite with piano accompaniment, and which was composed during his final years). Thus the whole hundreds of lieder, or the whole life of Schubert, ended on this lied, farewell to the earth. It began with "Leb wohl, du schoene Erde (Goodbye, you beautiful Earth)". I will forever remember when I finally came into this lied, on the first words of Diskau's "Leb wohl, du schoene Erde" I trembled and cried from the very first note to the last note. My god, it's untouchable granduer.

LAS ROSAS DEL JARDIN.......2000-05-03

Indudablemente, si de Lieder vamos hablar, los de Schubert son LA BIBLIA en la materia. Ningún otro compositor por más bueno que sea, llega acercarse a la belleza de los Lieder de Franz Peter Schubert, entre ellos me refiero concretamente a ilustres compositores como: Beethoven, Schumann, Wolf, Mussorsgky, Tchaikovsky, y Richard Strauss.

Si tendríamos que definir con una sola palabra a estos Lieder está con seguridad sería "MELANCOLIA". Las canciones de Schubert son tan hermosas como las rosas del jardín, pero tienen como ésa flor, espinas, pues para personas de sensibilidad artística, generalmente cuando los escuchamos terminamos con un nudo en la garganta sino con lágrimas en los ojos.

Sin lugar a dudas, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau es el interprete ideal. El timbre de su voz, así como la calidez de sus interpretaciones, son la combinación perfecta para estas magnas obras. Amigo de la música éste álbum realmente vale la pena, a pesar que es un poco caro, hay que hacer el esfuerzo para no perderse las maravillas que tienen éstos Lieder interpretados por su mejor exponente. Es una de las grabaciones más memorables del Siglo XX. (Mi lieder más amado es Auf Dem Wasser Zu Singen).

The rating is for the rerelease, not the singer.......2005-10-11

McCracken was wonderful, at least until his voice apparently imploded at far too early an age. His Otello was like a caged animal. This CD seems to remarket him but almost identically to the CD with James King that was issued several years ago. King and McCracken did not have similar voices but sang much of the same material. It's a hard choice: the sound you like is the sound you prefer, or vice versa.

I would also love to see King's work reissued.

The freakiest thing in McCracken's discography is "Salut demeure." What was he thinking? The original review of the vinyl issue years ago was that he sounds like he's addressing the Taj Mahal instead of a cottage. It's not BAD...it's just bizarre.

I'd much rather that McCracken's wonderful renderings of Scottish and Irish songs had been put out in the world again. It's glorious.

A Beautiful Voice..........2004-11-20

This may come to some as a surprise to some who can't seem to associate a big dramatic tenor with beauty, but Mr. McCracken had a really very beautiful voice; full middle, warm tones, good high notes, power, and even piano tones. He is inclined to be a tad tedious, though.

However, I must give Decca credit for releasing this one!
