Testament's 1955 Bayreuth Festival Götterdämmerung completes their release of that extraordinary Ring cycle. As in the previous operas of the tetralogy, this Götterdämmerung scores on several counts. As part of the first Ring cycle to be recorded in true stereo it has important historical interest. As an example of Joseph Keilberth's revelatory conducting, it reminds us that he was a great Wagnerian. His control of the dramatic narrative is superb, with tempos that were considered fast for his time but now are convincingly apt. And as an example of great Wagner singing, it's nothing less than spectacular. Astrid Varnay is a magnificent Brünnhilde, singing with passion, her big dramatic soprano soaring over the orchestra in the Immolation Scene. Windgassen was the Siegfried of choice in the 1950s, and he fits the bill with his virile tenor and characterization. In Joseph Greindl, Keilberth had a black-voiced Hagen who conveyed real menace.The rest of the large cast is as close to flawless as we have a right to expect, with perhaps the best Gunther (Hermann Uhde) and Alberich (Gustav Neidlinger) on disc, and in Maria von Ilosvay, a Waltraute who is gripping in her long scene with Brünnhilde. The singers are as strong in the last act as they are in the first, remarkable for this long opera. The orchestra is uniformly excellent and the sonics, if not up to today's state-of-the-art engineering, are natural, accurately depicting the voices and projecting a good sense of space and stage spread. This is a unique Götterdämmerung (and Ring cycle), with an unbeatable combination of great performance and decent stereo sound. --Dan Davis

A "GOTTERDAMMERUNG" and a "RING" for the AGES!.......2007-06-19
Going back over the decades of my life, I remember when you only had one choice for a "Ring"...Solti/Decca, and that was it.
Then, there came the von Karajan, and then the Bohm/Bayreuth. Then, there seemed to be a mini-explosion of "Rings" over the following years, so many that it became/becomes staggering to think about!
Two statements:
1) If you are NEW to Wagner's "Ring" do not become confused with all the choices out there. There are really only two live recordings you need consider...the Krauss/Bayreuth, and this one, Keilberth/Bayreuth, and one studio recording to think about, the Solti/Decca set. You may think this excessive, but you NEED all three of these recordings. Period.
2) If you are FAMILIAR with Wagner's "Ring", then, assumably, you want the Best recording of it. I will assume you already have the Solti set, as most people do. The Krauss set you may or may not have. It is a stunner. And, now, the Keilberth....the most awesome recording, in many ways, you will ever experience.
Think: 1955, live, Bayreuth, the Best Wagnerians of their age, assembled together at the behest of Wagner's grandsons, in Wagner's theater, and the best part....recorded in STEREO! By Decca, of all people, before the Solti studio Ring was ever thought about! Why Decca sat on these magnificent recordings just blows my mind.
Luckily for us, Testament acquired the rights to release these timeless recordings, and we now, after 52 years, can marvel at and enjoy these magnificent performances of four of the greatest musical masterpieces ever written, combining to make up the most monumental work ever written for the stage! Enjoy this (set) of Masterpiece Recordings! ~operabruin
Full Circle.......2007-05-09
I would not want to be without the Clemens Krauss RING of 1953, another great cycle from Bayreuth, but the quality of sound, good as it is, cannot match the 1955 cycle, concluded with this recording. The only real problem the Decca team encountered was with the 'infernal' smoke and fire machine that runs through the Nibelheim scene of DAS RHEINGOLD.
There is no such technical problem with GOTTERDAMMERUNG. This, and its companion dramas of the Cycle, surely must be the benchmark in terms of cast, sound quality, conducting, and orchestral execution. It may be outpointed in certain areas, but overall this GOTTERDAMMERUNG completes a RING that ought to be the first choice, if cost is not an issue.
It is expensive. The cost for the vinyl version is staggering, though I suppose purists will insist on having that incarnation. I am very happy with the CDs, which I purchased one set at a time as they emerged. It took a while, but the wait has been worth it.
Which Gotterdammerung to buy, Keilberth or Solti?.......2007-04-21
Solti: The overwhelming element here has always been the Vienna Phil, recorded in sumptuous grandeur by Decca. For sweep and epic proportion, no one has ever come close to matching them. The next freat thrill comes from Nilsson, a Brunnhilde of incomparable power and gleaming penetration. Solti gives us his best effort in Wanger, and among the supporting roles Christa Ludwig (Waltraute), Gunter (Fischer-Dieskau), Alberich (Neidlinger) and Hagen (Frick) cannot be faulted. Windgassen's voice had become worn and leathery over the years, and his Siegfried, although highly experiened and musical, isn't a pleasure to listen to for beauty of voice or youthfulness. (It sounds considerably more taxed in the live Bayreuth set under Bohm on Philips.)
It must be remembered that the stereo era hadn't seen a complete Gotterdammerung before this pioneering effort, which stunned the classical music world in the early Sixties. After four decades, it remains undiminished and sells for reduced price is various reissues. ONe should seek out the latest remastering since the original ADRM version from the early Eighties sounds thin and shrill compared to the original LPs.
Keilberth: Decca also recorded this 1955 live Gotterdammerung, which would be the standard to this day if they hadn't rejected it and moved on to record Solti seven years later. The decision made sense at the time. Although the sonics are fine for a live performance, we hear considerable audience noise and the occasional fluff in the orchestra, which in any event isn't the equal of the Vienna Phil. by a long stretch. Keilberth does one of his best jobs coducting, but he is proficient rather than inspired. I like the opening of the opera, which he keeps from dawdling, but at times Keilberth is too anxious to move forward, and the great set pieces of the Rhine Journey, Funeral March, and Immolation Scene lack the grandeur of studio recordings.
In the cast the standout is Astrid Varnay as Brunnhilde, who sings with passion and commitment, and whose voice is heroic and gleaming enough to encompass the role (she doesn't get tired by the end but is even ore resplendent in the Immolation Scene). Windgassen is nearly as good--he and Varnay were frequently paird and had made DG duet recordings of Wagner). HIs voice is fresh, and he shows stamina during the Act 1 love duet. In the end he was an almost-Heldentenor, but we haven't seen his like as Siegfried since, so I can't complain. The supporting cast is nearly as strong as for Solti, with Neidlinger repeating his signature Alberich. Decca's microhones capture the voices onstage quite realistically and with minimal fade-out due to stage movements.
Overall, Keilberth's interpreatation goes for momentum and propulsion, which is fine in such a long evening, while Solti gives us richness, epic sweep, and the incomparable beauty of the VPO. I am not aobut to make recommendations between the two sets. Many of us who love Gotterdammerung have owned the Solti forever, so it's wonderful to get a second bite of the apple. We'll own both and be greateful.
FINE ENDING TO A GOOD RING.......2007-02-23
Having said all that, I must admit that this Gotterdammerung is the finest part of Keilberth's cycle. The urgency of his conducting carries the narrative along on a wave of inevitability to its tragic (if, indeed, it can be called tragic) and glorious end. This works to best effect in the taut, urgent and intense arch of Act 2. In the grandest moments of Act 3, however, you may feel something more is needed. For a Funeral March and an Immolation that carry the full grandeur and weight of the destruction of a whole civilisation (which is what they ultimately are), perhaps you need to turn to Kna, to Goodall or to Furtwangler.
The singers throughout the lifespan of this first Wieland Wagner production were remarkably consistent and uniformly of a far higher standard than we are forced to accept these days. Varnay never sang with less than 100% commitment, here more than ever. Hers is a white-hot performance: the voice has more warmth and darkness (if that's not oxymoronic) than a Nilsson, less mumsiness than a Flagstad and she uses it with bold abandon in the Dawn Duet and the Oathtaking of Act 2. Windgassen is truly a youthful hero (compared to his outings for Solti and Bohm) and brings real poetry to the Narration and Death. I'm inclined to think Neidlinger the definitive Alberich and here, as throughout the cycle, he gives his definitive performance. Uhde, too, is near enough the definitive Gunther, but his performance for Knappertsbusch in '51 perhaps shades this one for penetrating depth of characterisation. I've always found Greindl's voice a bit unattractive compared to the rich blackness of a Frick or an Andresen, but it certainly has the size to dominate a Wagnerian orchestra in full cry in his summoning of the vassals. Rhinemaidens, Norns and a superb Pitz-trained chorus are all worthy of their colleagues.
This is undoubtedly a very fine performance, one that does not deserve to have lain gathering dust on the shelves for so long. The finest Ring on disc, though? For my money that accolade would go to Krauss or, in Gotterdammerung alone, Knappertsbusch in 1951 - a concentrated, intense and profoundly moving performance on the grandest scale. The sound on these new `First Ever Stereo' recordings is good, too, giving an excellent impression of the unique Bayreuth acoustic, but Culshaw and Solti in Vienna are undeniably in a different class. To sum up, this is a Gotterdammerung well worth hearing, owning even, alongside other Bayreuth versions. But to say it sweeps all before it is perhaps overstating the case.
The Climax of the Definitive Ring.......2007-02-16
I would like to clarify something here. I fully appreciate other ring recordings in existence. I would never want to be without the Kempe or Krauss Bayreuth Rings, or the great 1951 Knappertsbusch Gotterdammerung. Each has something to contribute to our knowledge and appreciation of this, one of the greatest works of western art. But again, I must say that if I prefer this Keilberth Ring above others, it is merely because this is one Ring in which everything has gone right and fits so perfectly together. Plus, Keilberth seems to unite all the best qualities of the aforementioned conductors and makes this such a compelling experience for this listener. As for the recorded sound, I do not agree that it is behind in quality to the Solti/Decca. Wagner intended for there to be a BALANCE between singer and orchestra, not a predominance of orchestra over singer, something that happens in the Solti at times. This is not to belittle that achievement, but rather, that to my mind and ears, this is more what the composer wanted us to hear. The contrapuntal yextures are simply clearet in this recording; the Rhine Journey could almost be a Bach Brandenburg Concerto! REAL power comes from clarity, subtlety, light and shade, and tension, rather than from sheer muscle and brute force. I feel that Keilberth, like Krauss, Kempe and (at times) Knappertsbusch, offers us these qualities in greater portions than does Solti (again, not to in any way belittle his great concept). It is fortunate that, as I had said in the Rheingold review, there is a richness of great Ring recordings to offer us thought.

Yes! In Deed!.......2007-01-31
She is back - and in GREAT form!!!.......2007-01-31
I am ECSTATIC to report that Mina's CD is terrific! The woman's voice is still fully intact, and magnificent! This CD not only stands up to her recent recordings, but it stands up to ALL of her recordings, over the past 25 years!!! Her voice is still strong - still able to soar - still full of passion... AND - she is STILL "making music", taking chances that most singers of her caliber would be afraid to take. (Are you listening, Barbra?) I've not listened to the CD enough to be more specific with my personal favorites, but so far? Tracks 4, 6 & 8 are knockouts!
There is no one like Mina - no one. This CD is a must-have for anyone who enjoys her.
The sound quality is clear & rich. The orchestrations are contemporary - smooth - and above all, intelligent.
What a gift to the world, this woman is. BRAVO, MINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Setting the record straight, more to follow.......2006-11-24
Mina Mazzini is the greatest female singer of the 20th Century, Opera included, which she dabbled, briefly and successfully in. The great Louie Armstrong said publicly that Mina is the, "greatest white singer in the world." Apparently and on good authority, off the record, Louis said, "greatest, period."
She is so good that now that her voice is indeed, showing signs of wear, tear and cigarettes, (how stupid is that) she has turned to singing, often, easy pop songs. What remains of her tattered cords blows away most of the composers of these songs; even things I've always felt trite, like, "Blowin' in the Wind, are incredibly poignant. What's left of her voice in other words lends itself to Pop, as it's easy for her and she does incredibly well, even in English. Apparently it must be much harder to sing Pop than the Italian songs, she mainly sang. (The opposite of say, Roger Daltrey, who wasn't the greatest, at times, Rock singer, but incredibly good with straight pop, witness his solo albums.)
For those that are looking for, "the last, great, musical buzz," this IS it. Everyone I have ever played Mina to, immediately put her in the "Beatles level," enjoyment realm. No, she's not quite as great as the Fab Four; they after all were composers; she an interpreter. But she's pretty damn close, which should say it all. And you have HUNDREDS of songs of 'perfect music,' to enjoy.
Finally, the first reviewer is wrong. Mina's golden period was the 60's.
True, her voice got, 'dry,' as the reviewer stated, but that happened in the late 70's but even her 'dry,' voice, is incredibly enjoyable.
** I heard a recent song where she displayed her damaged cords, deliberately, in an unflattering way. That was first Mina song of hundreds I didn't like.
** Mina can, in vocal impressions, out Holiday, Billie Holiday, out-Streisand, (with ease) Streisand, and out Minelli, Liza, (who states unequivocally, that Mina, "is the greatest singer in the world.)" Surely however, surely she can't "Shirley" pun intended, pull a Bassey? Hell, yes. She has that same cinematic, mind blowing power as evidenced at the end of a 60's version of, Georgia On My Mind. However, she doesn't sound like Shirley Bassey on every number, have no fear. She even caused Aretha Franklin to storm off the stage when she out, improvised, the soul great; (though Mina's range is not 5 octaves like that worthy.)
Still, Mina can easily do Franklin, but NOT vice-versa. Blasphemous though it sounds, Mina's 60's scat-singing is to me, virtually as good as Ella Fitzgerald. She does a killer Ray Charles, (!!) a wonderful, authentic Brazilian Tango, and her Michelle and I Should Have Known Better, must have given even Paul and John, respectively, considerable uh, 'pause.' Am I getting through to you, reader? This woman is THAT good.
Trained as a concert pianist! you are in store for probably, the last great "60's level," musical thrill. We're not talking, oh, Oasis had a few good songs, or White Stripes, or Arctic Monkeys thrill-levels. We're talking the Holy Grail of musical, "every song is perfect," thrills! Enjoy that ride - her likes will never appear again. (For proof, visit youtube.com, type in Mina Mazzini and select and play the first video, E Penso A Te. You'll INSTANTLY become a believer.)
** Bonus - world's greatest legs.

An Homage to a Great Artist.......2005-10-30
The two disc set includes arias from operas: Rossini's 'Il barbière di Siviglia', von Weber's 'Euryanthe', Gounod's 'Faust', Massenet's 'Hérodiade', Bizet's 'Les Pêcheurs de perles' (in duet with Placido Domingo), Thomas' 'Hamlet', Verdi's 'Don Carlo', 'Il Travatore', 'Macbeth', 'La Traviata', and 'Falstaff', Korngold's 'Die Tote Stadt', and Wagner's 'Tannhäuser'.
But the rewards of a Hampson recording must include his impeccable career as a lieder stylist and on this recording are excerpts from Schumann's 'Dichterliebe', Schubert's 'Winterreise', Mahler's 'Rückert Lieder' and 'Das Lied von der Erde', as well as songs by Meyerbeer, Rossini, Grieg, Kalman, and Lehar. And very importantly there are examples of American songs that Hampson has always emphasized in his recitals. Works by Stephen Foster, and two extraordinary works with the brilliant accompanist Armen Guzelimian - 'An Old Song Re-sung' by Griffes and 'At Dawning' by Charles Wakefield Cadman - round out this fine survey.
Not usually a collector of such 'recombinations', for this listener this album is so very fine that it deserves the attention of all those who appreciate the artistry of Thomas Hampson - then and now. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, October 05

Album Description
The Spartan backing which Mina employs is essential to the Agossi persona. 'Working with just bass and drums gives me the freedom to improvise, not bound by the chords of the piano.' Candid. 2006.Customer Reviews:
