Recorded live at Glyndebourne Opera Hause, Lewes, England in 2010
Includes 2 discs in a 85 page hard-bound book.
First conducted in Weimar in 1893 by Richard Strauss, Hänsel und Gretel had immediate worldwide success, the Hamburg premiere in 1894 conducted by Gustav Mahler. In its first year, over 50 German theatres staged a production and it has been translated into over 20 languages. In the UK it was the first complete opera to ever be broadcast from Covent Garden back in 1923, and was a staple in the opera repertory until the 1950s where it fell into a black hole. Here Hänsel und Gretel remained until Glyndebourne’s new production in 2008. This recording comes from the re-staging in 2010.
This recording boasts a fine cast, with Alice Coote a seasoned Hänsel having also performed in the role at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Lydia Teuscher making a notable UK debut as Gretel with Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke’s beautiful portrayal of the Witch stealing the show. Robin Ticciati, Glyndebourne’s new Artistic Director from 2013, clearly loves the piece: his conducting is nothing short of wonderful, with the performance from the London Philharmonic Orchestra a real highlight on this recording.
Alice Coote (Hänsel), Lydia Teuscher (Gretel), Irmgard Vilsmaier (Mother), William Dazeley (Father), Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke (Witch), Tara Erraught (Sandman) & Ida Falk Winland (Dew Fairy)

"On stage, Oistrakh produces an impression of a colossus. He firmly stands on the ground, he holds his violin proudly, and he creates music that finds expression in an endless stream of beauty and grace", wrote the great violin player Isaac Stern. Among the numerous famous performers the 20th century gave to the world, David Oistrakh ranks especially high. "… one of the really great violinists of our time. Oistrakh is great not because he is a virtuoso, but because he is a genuine, inspired musician," wrote the press during his first coming to the United States in 1955. Oistrakh had to play the very first concert of that tour on the same day with performances of Nathan Milstein and Mischa Elman (Joseph Szigeti played on the same day at another venue in New York). Fritz Kreisler who was in the house expressed his admiration for Oistrakh after the concert. Firma Melodiya presents a set of recordings by the great musician of this country. Oistrakh recorded violin concertos by Bach, Mozart, Viotti, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Dvorak, and Taneyev in the 1950s and 1960s in the prime of his performing career jointly with some of the best conductors of the previous century such as Nikolai Malko, Herbert von Karajan, Alexander Gauk, Kirill Kondrashin and Gennady Rozhdestvensky. The performances of Brahms's and Franck's sonatas by David Oistrakh and Sviatoslav Richter also featured in this set once was unanimously recognized by domestic and foreign audiences as one of the best achievements of the 20th century in the field of chamber music.
