Tchaikovsky - Pique Dame
Piotr Ilich Tchaikovski (1840 - 1893) Vladimir Atlantov, Julia Varady, Elena ShemchukElena Obraztsova, Alexander Voroshilo, Bodo BrinkmannChor der Bayerischen Staatsoper Bayerisches Staatsorchester, dir: Algis ShuraitisOrfeo d'Or (2011) C811112I Stereo 2 CD ADD ( excellent sound)Live recording, Bayerische Staatsoper, November, 24 1984[cue & flac, cover, inlays, booklet & disc scans] For me this is one the best operas published by Orfeo. I love Pique Dame and I found everything is in it right place here, particularly the extraordinary performances of Atlantov as the passionate and tormented Hermann and Varady as the incandescent, emotional and desperate Lisa In my humble opinion this is one of her best roles. Simply amazing.Review"In contrast to Eugene Onegin, Tchaikovsky’s other operas have led something of a shadowy existence in the repertoire.

A gripping drama, it requires performances where you believe in Herman’s psychological descent as the desire to learn the secret of the three cards from the old Countess consumes everything, including his love for Lisa. The opera has been lucky on disc, dominated in recent decades by recordings from Valery Gergiev and Seiji Ozawa, both from the early 1990s. They are joined by this resplendent account from Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, recorded in concert. Jansons has a […]

Deine Divadienste will die Frau
I recall a televised concert of young voices hosted by Leontyne Price in which she introduced “the marvelous Marvis Martin.” Today, I wish to introduce our younger Parterrians to the magical Martha Mödl to commemorate the opening of the Bayreuther Festspiele which opens tomorrow afternoon. This week’s upload is the festival’s very first post-war Tristan und Isolde in which Herbert von Karajan leads Mödl, Ramon Vinay, Ira Malaniuk, Ludwig Weber and Hans Hotter from 1952. Mödl was one of my earliest influences as Brünnhilde on the first complete opera LP set that I owned as a child, the 1954 EMI Wilhelm Furtwängler Die Walküre which also ignited my lifelong obsession with Leonie Rysanek. Furtwänger said, “Other singers can sing what they like; you’ll always recognize them. With Martha Mödl, her voice identifies so closely with the role that you are only aware of the character on stage.” She was […]
