Subcollection: Opera Recorded live at Glyndebourne on 30 May 1965.
Includes 3 discs in a 175 page hard-bound book.
This recording of Der Rosenkavalier captures the intimacy of the Glyndebourne opera house preserving what is, without doubt, an engrossing performance with notable contributions from key soloists at poignant stages of their careers.
This 1965 production, first staged by Glyndebourne in 1959, was not without its casting complications. Baron Ochs was to be Manfred Jungwirth but only sang two performances due to ill health and was replaced by Otto Edelmann.
Miss Caballé was ill for the first week of rehearsals and Edith Mathis arrived at Glyndebourne announcing that she was pregnant and was not be able to sing her August performances.
Many considered Der Rosenkavalier too big a production for Glyndebourne’s intimate house. Artistic director Carl Ebert, and conductor Fritz Busch, had entertained the possibility of mounting Der Rosenkavalier pre-war, using Strauss’ own reduced orchestral version but by 1959 the volume of the theatre had been increased considerably, and this production, was hailed as one of his finest achievements, in what was Ebert’s final year at Glyndebourne.
The recording captures a stellar cast. Not only is this Caballé’s sole recording as the Marschallin on disc but preserves her Glyndebourne debut, in the same year also singing the role of the Countess in Le nozze de Figaro. The Finanical Times observed: ‘‘First praise should perhaps go to the Marschallin of Montserrat Caballé... a beautiful voice... And an eloquent presence. The role lived in her.’’ Edith Mathis as Sophie was her second appearance at the Festival, the New Statesman lauding her role as ‘‘my own favourite is Edith Mathis’ wonderfully fresh Sophie’’.
Montserrat Caballé (Die Marschallin), Teresa Żylis-Gara (Octavian), Otto Edelmann (Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau), Edith Mathis (Sophie), David Hughes (Valzacchi), John Andrew (A Singer) & John Modenos (Herr von Faninal)

Collection: Instrumental Subcollection: Piano Warum contains small masterpieces by the great composers such as Brahms, Schumann and Scriabin. Also included are improvisations on Swedish folk songs.
The CD does not contain the most common music, which we already know and have clear impression of. Instead, it provides the opportunity for new musical discoveries.

Audio enthusiasts are also in favor of this disc's music and sound.

Collection: Cello Collection Subcollection: Cello The F major ’cello/piano Strauss sonata belongs to his youthand, together with the Eb violin sonata of a few years later, is amanifestation of adolescent high spirits. (For this reason it was hightime we committed this to disc sooner rather than later.) His fatherFranz was a horn player in the Munich Opera Orchestra and hismother was an heiress of a famous brewing family so it was throughhis father he grew up steeped in the prevailing musical atmosphere.Franz Strauss was a musical conservative and this, perhaps, is whyhis son’s early works adhere so strongly to classical compositionalprocedure. Despite the obvious influences of Mendelssohn, andespecially Brahms, there is nonetheless an individual voice fromthe outset characterized by a fleetness of touch and sense of thetheatrical which pre-echo his astonishing achievements in the fieldof Opera. |
