Thus it has been reconstructed from off-air recordings, and \nas a result there are a number of additional hurdles to be jumped when \nrestoring such material. I have worked here from a secondary source. On \nthe whole this has been very successful - I've been able to rescue some \nfine sound quality, particularly in the musical sections.

A careful \nanalysis of the recording's residual electrical mains hum suggests an \noriginal tuning of somewhere around A=445, and it is to this pitch that \nI've tuned the final master.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSymphony No. 39\u003c\/b\u003e This live recording was one of a \nnumber recorded during the Second World War for broadcast in Germany \nwhich ended up spending a number of years in the Soviet Union prior to a\n rash of reissues on different labels in recent years.

It also feels odd to\n hear a Mozart symphony in the hands of such powerful forces as \nFurtwängler musters here.

As I have said in the earlier \nreviews, sound quality is one of the reasons for preferring the RAI \ncycle. It was produced specifically for broadcast; the performances were\n unstaged and therefore singers didn’t move on and off mike. In \naddition, it was broadcast one act per day, with off days between, so \nthe singers (and orchestra musicians) were not exhausted by Wagner’s \nexcessive demands. The RAI cycle is also uncut (Furtwängler makes two \ncuts in the Scala cycle). Also most of the casting favors the RAI cycle.\n On the other hand, there is something about the smell of the theater \nthat pervades the Scala performances that cannot be denied. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"B\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003eHowever, we get back to the sound \nquality. What Pristine has achieved here is close to a miracle. I did a \ndirect A-B comparison with the EMI cycle and was shocked at the \nimprovement Pristine has made. The sound is cleaner, less compressed, \nfuller at both ends of the frequency spectrum, and overall less \n“historic” in nature. This comes close to sounding like a 1953 monaural \nstudio recording made under ideal conditions. The orchestra sounds like a\n real orchestra, and the singers benefit from a far richer timbre than \non the EMI set. Hearing this set was like viewing a recently restored \npainting, having not been aware of the layer of dirt on it until you \nwitnessed the effect of its removal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"B\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003ePerhaps the biggest bonus goes to the \nSieglinde and the Brünnhilde—Hilde Konetzni and Martha Mödl.

And\n while the Scala cycle has the great voice of Kirsten Flagstad (past her\n prime but still magnificent), this RAI cycle has singers who always \nsound fresh because of the rest between acts that they were given.

He \nbuilds climaxes theatrically (listen to the transformation of “Dawn” in \nthe Prologue to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMESi\"\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003e),\n but also always keeps the long view in mind—so as powerful as any \nmoment along the way might be, it doesn’t outweigh what is yet to come. \nOne of Furtwängler’s important skills that is often undervalued because \nof the cramped quality of many of his recordings is his ear for \norchestral color, and Pristine’s transfer allows us to experience that \nmore fully than ever before. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"B\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003eThe casting is as close to ideal as one\n might get in 1953.

More important, though, than any \nindividual performance is the sense of ensemble that one gets from these\n performances. One suspects that the rehearsal period was extensive and \nintense, and the result is a total immersion in the music and text, \nbetween singers among themselves and between singers and orchestra. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"Br\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003eThis RAI \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMESi\"\u003eRing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003ecycle\n remains one of the glories of the recorded musical history of the 20th \ncentury, and sounds here fuller, warmer, cleaner, and more natural than \nit ever has before. Pristine makes its transfers available as downloads \nand CDs, in monaural sound and in what they call “ambient stereo.” The \nlatter is not the “reprocessed” (or fake) stereo of the 1960s and ’70s, \nbut rather a monaural reprocessing that allows the illusion of space to \nthe ambience surrounding the main signal. (There are probably better \nways to explain this; I’ve never pretended to be an engineer.) Both \nversions sound better than previous transfers of these recordings, but I\n do find the ambient stereo version more natural and pleasing, \nparticularly over the length of these scores. Notes are minimal, texts \nnonexistent, but it doesn’t matter. These are recordings for specialists\n who know this music, and Pristine deserves nothing but praise for what \nit has done in restoring them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"TIMESb\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Fogel \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"TIMESb\"\u003eThis article originally appeared in Issue 35:2 (Nov\/Dec 2011) of Fanfare Magazine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9main_samplefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fsamples\/PACO059.mp3578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fProducer's Note578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcontent578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThere are two full recordings of Wagner's Ring cycle \nconducted by Furtwängler, but neither is the full studio recording \nplanned by EMI to begin in 1954 and left incomplete by the conductor's \ndeath at the age of 68 on 30th November of that year. There is a 1950 \nrecording of his La Scala cycle, and this, a series of recordings made \nfor broadcast on Italian radio (RAI) across ten sessions in October and \nNovember 1953 in front of a very quiet invited audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThe final broadcasts were cut from both these recordings\n and taped rehearsal sessions, as chosen by Furtwängler and the RAI \nengineers the day after recording. The recordings were broadcast a short\n time after but were not commercially issued until the early 1970s on LP\n by EMI.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eIn working on these new Pristine 32-bit XR remasterings \nI've made a few interesting discoveries and come to a few conclusions. \nFirst of all, the recordings were most probably originally recorded onto\n tape at 30 inches per second, with each reel running for about 15 \nminutes. The recordings were made an act at a time, and where necessary \nrehearsal material was cut into the live performance recording prior to \nbroadcast a few days later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThe final masters were preserved as vinyl discs (with \nmetal masters), each side representing a tape reel - at this time it was\n common to preserve radio broadcasts on disc; the medium was both proven\n and much less space-hungry than tape, which was expensive and could of \ncourse be erased and re-used. Thus when EMI mastered the original 1972 \nLP release, they worked from tape dubs of new vinyl pressings made from \nRAI's metal masters, and it is likely that these same tape dubs served \nfor future releases, both on vinyl and CD. Certainly there is more than \nenough evidence of vinyl origins in EMI's 1990 CDs which matches flaws \non their 1972 LPs - swish, clicks etc. The bizarre difference between \nthe two is in badly-dubbed applause at the end of each act, present on \nthe CDs but absent on the LPs. Bizarre indeed - the same canned applause\n was used at the ends of both Acts Two and Three in the present \nrecording! It also appears in the same form in the Gebhardt CD reissue \nbut is absent here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left; font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp class=\"pristine-added-programme-heading\" style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFURTWÄNGLER\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eWagner\u003c\/b\u003e Ring Cycle: 3.

The conducting remains \ntoday what it has always been: a model of how to shape this music. \nFurtwängler thinks in paragraphs and chapters, not in sentences. He \nbuilds climaxes theatrically (listen to the transformation of “Dawn” in \nthe Prologue to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMESi\"\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003e),\n but also always keeps the long view in mind—so as powerful as any \nmoment along the way might be, it doesn’t outweigh what is yet to come. \nOne of Furtwängler’s important skills that is often undervalued because \nof the cramped quality of many of his recordings is his ear for \norchestral color, and Pristine’s transfer allows us to experience that \nmore fully than ever before. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"B\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003eThe casting is as close to ideal as one\n might get in 1953.

More important, though, than any \nindividual performance is the sense of ensemble that one gets from these\n performances. One suspects that the rehearsal period was extensive and \nintense, and the result is a total immersion in the music and text, \nbetween singers among themselves and between singers and orchestra. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"Br\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003eThis RAI \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMESi\"\u003eRing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003ecycle\n remains one of the glories of the recorded musical history of the 20th \ncentury, and sounds here fuller, warmer, cleaner, and more natural than \nit ever has before. Pristine makes its transfers available as downloads \nand CDs, in monaural sound and in what they call “ambient stereo.” The \nlatter is not the “reprocessed” (or fake) stereo of the 1960s and ’70s, \nbut rather a monaural reprocessing that allows the illusion of space to \nthe ambience surrounding the main signal. (There are probably better \nways to explain this; I’ve never pretended to be an engineer.) Both \nversions sound better than previous transfers of these recordings, but I\n do find the ambient stereo version more natural and pleasing, \nparticularly over the length of these scores. Notes are minimal, texts \nnonexistent, but it doesn’t matter. These are recordings for specialists\n who know this music, and Pristine deserves nothing but praise for what \nit has done in restoring them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"TIMESb\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Fogel \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"TIMESb\"\u003eThis article originally appeared in Issue 35:2 (Nov\/Dec 2011) of Fanfare Magazine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9main_samplefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fsamples\/PACO060.mp3578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fProducer's Note578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcontent578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThe final instalment in Furtwängler's superb Italian Radio Ring, \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e\n offers for much of its duration perhaps the finest sound of the entire \ncycle. With each act being recorded on a different day, one notices \nslight changes in quality, and for me the best of the lot technically, \nfrom \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e onwards, is to be found in the second act \nhere. From a musical point of view it is also interesting to assess how \nFurtwängler and the Italian orchestra increasingly gel through the \nperformances, and listening to \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e leaves little \ndoubt that by this point all the musicians, soloists and conductor were \nperforming with a single, unified vision and purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eHowever, this does not mean to say that \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e\n didn't through up a whole heap of technical difficulties to be \naddressed. As with all the Ring operas I found hundreds upon hundreds of\n thumps, like someone stamping on a wooden stage. \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e was no exception, though inexplicably not all of the acts in all of the operas suffered this, and here Act Two escaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eTape hiss too was barely noticed during Act 2, though a \nmajor issue throughout Act 3 and here quite variable. Act 2 suffered \nother short noise problems which, although simple enough to deal with \nsingly, involved again hundreds of individual, manual interventions and \nmany hours of work. The greatest difficulty, though, was reserved for \nthe final act of the entire \u003cem\u003eRing\u003c\/em\u003e - extensive sections of \nrepeated treble dropout at approximately quarter-second intervals, \nrepairable only by hand-selecting each section and boosting it \nsufficiently to smooth it out - a hugely tedious and time-consuming \ntask. Curiously I noticed the same problem afflicting the first 45 \nminutes or so of the EMI CD transfer of Act 1, yet it was happily absent\n from EMI's original 1972 LPs used here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eOverall, the end result I hope more than justifies the \ntime and effort spent in restoring it and remastering it. The \ntransformation here with XR remastering has been quite amazing to hear \nand hugely rewarding - one embarks on lengthy projects such as this \nwithout any firm idea of how much success (or otherwise) one might be \nfortunate enough to witness. To paraphrase Furtwängler's words slightly,\n and echo them back to the conductor with perhaps some similar feelings \nafter spending several weeks almost entirely immersed in Wagner, \"I hope\n he would have been satisfied with me\"!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left; font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp class=\"pristine-added-programme-heading\" style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFURTWÄNGLER\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eWagner\u003c\/b\u003e Ring Cycle: 4.

I noted that like the Callas Tosca, \nsince it was first issued this has been defined as a classic of the \nrecording industry by just about every commentator who has written about\n it. It is, quite simply, one of the greatest Wagner performances ever \npreserved on disc. I won’t take valuable Fanfare space by repeating what\n I said there, other than to note again the greatness of Furtwängler’s \nconducting here. Every single phrase is connected to what precedes it \nand what follows it. Although the phrasing is supple, and there are many\n subtle variations of tempo, everything is perfectly prepared. The music\n breathes, breathes in a way that is so natural that we are ultimately \nunaware of the act of performance, and aware only of Wagner’s great \nachievement. Every aspect of the conductor’s craft and art is present \nand is applied to this whole—color, balance, tempo, texture, \nchord-voicing, shaping, articulation—all of this and more are sewn \ntogether to make this miracle of a performance. Add Kirstin Flagstad’s \nexalted Isolde, Ludwig Suthaus’s richly sung (and often underrated) \nTristan, and fine performances by Blanche Thebom, Dietrich \nFischer-Dieskau, and Josef Greindl, and you have a recording that merits\n the almost universal praise it has garnered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe real question \nfor collectors is whether this Pristine transfer is significantly \nsuperior to the earlier ones. I had praise for both EMI’s and Naxos’s \nversions, giving a very slight edge to the Naxos transfer by Mark \nObert-Thorn. I was not expecting a meaningful difference in Andrew \nRose’s effort for Pristine, but in fact it is enough of an improvement \nto warrant its purchase by any serious collector. In addition to \nlistening to it all the way through, I did a number of spot A-B \ncomparisons to the EMI and Naxos. It seems to me that Rose has managed \nto come up with a sound picture that is fuller at both the upper and \nlower extremes of frequency, without ever turning the sound harsh. It is\n the bass that is particularly impressive here—never boomy, but \nsatisfyingly solid with an impact missing until now. The orchestral \ncolors are richer, the voices bloom more, and the whole is more \nsatisfying than it has ever been. I heard the ambient stereo version, \nbut assume the monaural version that Pristine also issues is of equal \nquality. Pristine’s ambient stereo bears no relation to the \npseudo-stereo that the record companies tried to peddle in the 1970s, \nbut instead manages to create just a bit more of a sense of space around\n the sound. Of course Pristine’s version is also available as a FLAC \ndownload from its website. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere can be little doubt that this \nFurtwängler-led Tristan recording belongs in the Classical Hall of Fame,\n and Pristine Audio’s stunning restoration gives me good reason to put \nit there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"TIMESb\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Fogel \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis article originally appeared in Issue 35:5 (May\/June 2012) of Fanfare Magazine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9main_samplefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fsamples\/PACO067.mp3578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fProducer's Note578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcontent578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\nThis recording surely stands as one of the first truly great opera \nrecordings of the era of tape recording - at last Furtwängler was free \nin the studio from the stifling requirements of 4-minute 78rpm sides, \nand what a fabulous result he and the EMI engineers made with this \nopportunity.

The sound is more open \nand focused than ever before and it is a real treat to hear the finest \nsingers of their generation sing their signature roles in a faithful \nrepresentation of the Bayreuth ‘noise’. The audio spectrum has been \ncleaned at the top and opened out at the bottom. Hans Hotter sings his \nbest Wotan, slightly more sensitively than for Keilberth in the \nTestament stereo Ring, and in far fresher voice than for Solti in the \n1960s. Astrid Varnay is marvellous as Brunnhilde, and has the benefit of\n really attentive, flexible conducting. Clemens Krauss’ approach may not\n be to everyone’s taste, being at the other end of the tempo spectrum to\n Knappertsbusch, but to my ears the naturalness of what he does serves \nthe composer without drawing attention to itself...\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"...I just downloaded and played he 53 Krauss Rheingold \nthat you recently released. it is utterly fantastic!

As a musical \nperformance, it’s at its most exciting when Uhde, Greindl, and \nWindgassen are onstage. Two of the three Norns (Von Ilosvay and Ira \nMalaniuk) sing outstandingly in the opening scene. The weak link in the \ncast is the unsteady Natalie Hinsch-Gröndahl as Gutrüne. Though I have \nreservations about the inconsistencies of Varnay’s singing, there is \nmuch to admire in her Brünnhilde. She is entirely involved with Wagner’s\n text, is capable of a rich outpouring of sometimes very beautiful tone,\n and has the stamina required for the role. The Immolation Scene finds \nher in very good shape. On the other hand, it takes her about 10 minutes\n to warm up in the Prologue’s opening duet with Siegfried. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"Br\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003eThe glory of the Solti recording of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMESi\"\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"TIMES\"\u003e\n is the playing and recorded sound of the Vienna Philharmonic, \nespecially the brass.

There was one other spot where the tape \nsounded less than totally smooth, but for the vast majority of the \nrecording there were no such worries. Having dealt with rumble and tape \nhiss and applied Ambient Stereo processing I was able to sit back and \nenjoy the experience with minimal further intervention bar the excising \nof the odd cough and sneeze from the audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eA truly memorable recording to end one of the great Ring\n cycles, one that can at last be heard in its full glory.

one assumes that after each performance the engineers would \nhave had opportunity to fine-tune both their equipment, its location and\n its settings. The \u003cem\u003eParsifal\u003c\/em\u003e concert, which predates the \u003cem\u003eRing\u003c\/em\u003e\n by a couple of weeks, would not have had that advantage. (I should note\n here that the date is based on detective work by a number of experts, \nwho agree that it is most likely a recording of a transmission by \nBavarian Radio, who broadcast the first performances of all of the \nBayreuth Festival at that time in the 1950s - though he did conduct the \nopera twice more with the same cast, on 2nd and 15th August.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThus technically we're more or less at the same stage of development as \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e,\n with a sound which is at times not as up-front as might be liked. The \nrecording was also quite hissy in places, and for lengthy periods \nsuffered from a high-pitched whine, rumbling bottom end, mains hum and \nother assorted faults, all of which I've endeavoured to either cure or \nalleviate considerably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eI will refrain from commenting on the performance itself\n beyond a personal if rather uninformed view that I enjoyed it - I'm \nsure far more experienced and erudite commentators will no doubt bring \ngreat experience to bear over the next few weeks, and excerpts from the \ncritics will be added to this page as they become available. However I \ndo feel adequately qualified to make specific note of the remarkably \nswift pace at which Krauss moves in this, his first concert appearance \nat a Bayreuth Festival:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eI used as musical and tonal reference the 1973 Decca \nrecording of the opera with Solti - this also served as a template for \nmy track markings (always a tricky job when music is as lengthy and \ncontinuous as here). Placing the two recordings side-by-side it was \nimmediately apparent that there was a huge time discrepancy. Solti comes\n in a full 25 minutes longer than Krauss at 4hr 20min to Krauss's 3hr \n55min. The swifter pace here is to be found throughout the opera - \nalmost every track (and we've selected the same in points for each of \nthe 47 tracks here as with the Decca CD issue) comes in quite a lot \nshorter, yet there are no (apparent) cuts or changes to the score \n(naturally - this is of course a Bayreuth production!).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eA quick scan of other recordings shows this to be perhaps one of the swiftest \u003cem\u003eParsifals\u003c\/em\u003e ever recorded - checking out the information in my \u003cem\u003eGramophone Good CD and Download Guide\u003c\/em\u003e\n I find the next fastest to be Knappertsbusch's 1962 recording - widely \nregarded as the benchmark - which is some 15 minutes slower at 4hr \n10min.

The recordings were made an act at a time, and where necessary \nrehearsal material was cut into the live performance recording prior to \nbroadcast a few days later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThe final masters were preserved as vinyl discs (with \nmetal masters), each side representing a tape reel - at this time it was\n common to preserve radio broadcasts on disc; the medium was both proven\n and much less space-hungry than tape, which was expensive and could of \ncourse be erased and re-used. Thus when EMI mastered the original 1972 \nLP release, they worked from tape dubs of new vinyl pressings made from \nRAI's metal masters, and it is likely that these same tape dubs served \nfor future releases, both on vinyl and CD. Certainly there is more than \nenough evidence of vinyl origins in EMI's 1990 CDs which matches flaws \non their 1972 LPs - swish, clicks etc. The bizarre difference between \nthe two is in badly-dubbed applause at the end of each act, present on \nthe CDs but absent on the LPs. Bizarre indeed - the same canned applause\n was used at the ends of both Acts Two and Three in the present \nrecording! It also appears in the same form in the Gebhardt CD reissue \nbut is absent here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item\" style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pristine-boxset-track-listing--item--heading\" style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eFURTWÄNGLER Wagner Ring Cycle: 4.

With each act being recorded on a different day, one notices \nslight changes in quality, and for me the best of the lot technically, \nfrom \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e onwards, is to be found in the second act \nhere. From a musical point of view it is also interesting to assess how \nFurtwängler and the Italian orchestra increasingly gel through the \nperformances, and listening to \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e leaves little \ndoubt that by this point all the musicians, soloists and conductor were \nperforming with a single, unified vision and purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eHowever, this does not mean to say that \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e\n didn't through up a whole heap of technical difficulties to be \naddressed. As with all the Ring operas I found hundreds upon hundreds of\n thumps, like someone stamping on a wooden stage. \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e was no exception, though inexplicably not all of the acts in all of the operas suffered this, and here Act Two escaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eTape hiss too was barely noticed during Act 2, though a \nmajor issue throughout Act 3 and here quite variable. Act 2 suffered \nother short noise problems which, although simple enough to deal with \nsingly, involved again hundreds of individual, manual interventions and \nmany hours of work. The greatest difficulty, though, was reserved for \nthe final act of the entire \u003cem\u003eRing\u003c\/em\u003e - extensive sections of \nrepeated treble dropout at approximately quarter-second intervals, \nrepairable only by hand-selecting each section and boosting it \nsufficiently to smooth it out - a hugely tedious and time-consuming \ntask.

He preferred to “wing it” in the theater, allowing the inspiration of the moment to guide the performance at hand, letting the chips fall where they might. Consequently, you never knew what you were going to get for the price of your ticket. For instance, there are wonderful moments aplenty throughout the 1957\/58 \u003ci\u003eRings\u003c\/i\u003e. But the stodgy, pedestrian, and often sloppy work that generally persists does not hold up under the microphone’s unforgiving scrutiny. Not that Knappertsbusch would have wanted these \u003ci\u003eRings \u003c\/i\u003eissued, but that’s neither here nor there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eOn the other hand, just about every bar of his 1956 \u003ci\u003eRing \u003c\/i\u003ereveals that Kna could deliver first rate, even inspired goods when he put his mind to it. Even considering the tortoise-like pacing and massive textures, Knappertsbusch’s shaping of each opera boasts more pointed detail, greater animation within phrases, and sharper dramatic contours. His singers, in turn, respond with more vivid performances than their norm under this conductor. Perhaps the principals (Varnay, Neidlinger, Windgassen, Hotter, and Greindl) are in fresher vocal estate three years earlier for Clemens Krauss and Joseph Keilberth, yet their moment-to-moment involvement plus unusual care in making the words clear is never in question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eBoth Siegfrieds were still relatively new roles for Wolfgang Windgassen, and his interpretation had evolved quite a bit in three years, especially in the opera named for the protagonist. The hero’s Act Two musings take on a new introspection, and there’s more intensity now to his crucial encounter with the Wanderer in Act Three. \u003ci\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/i\u003e lets us hear Windgassen’s Bayreuth Siegmund for the first time; the tenor was an eleventh-hour replacement, and an effective one at that. Gré Brouwenstijn partners him as Sieglinde, and the soprano radiates more spontaneity here than in her underrated studio portrayal under Leinsdorf. In \u003ci\u003eGötterdämerung \u003c\/i\u003eBrouwenstijn’s inward and musicianly Gutrune breathes new life into a role that is often slighted. Hans Hotter brings immense authority to both the \u003ci\u003eRheingold \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWalküre \u003c\/i\u003eWotans and the Wanderer in \u003ci\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/i\u003e, and is in fresher voice than for his contributions to the renowned Solti studio \u003ci\u003eRing\u003c\/i\u003e. Astrid Varnay’s powerful \u003ci\u003eGötterdämmerung \u003c\/i\u003eBrunnhilde, by contrast, is a shade less steady than the 1951 Bayreuth performance under Knappertsbusch issued on Testament.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJed Distler\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003ci\u003eClassics Today\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.classicstoday.com\/review\/review-3952\/\"\u003ereview\u003c\/a\u003e of Music \u0026amp; Arts issue (excerpt), 1998\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKNAPPERTSBUSCH \u003c\/b\u003eThe 1956 \u003cb\u003eWagner\u003c\/b\u003e Ring: 1. \u003cb\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003edisc one\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e (77:55)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSCENE ONE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e1.\u003c\/span\u003e Prelude\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (3:51)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e2.\u003c\/span\u003e Weia!

Knappertsbusch could be a maddeningly uneven conductor (from performance to performance, and within the same performance), but this is the finest of his surviving Bayreuth \u003ci\u003eRing \u003c\/i\u003eCycles. Two later ones, from 1957 and 1958, fail to achieve the consistency of inspiration and cogency of shape, not to mention incisiveness and intensity, that are found in this 1956 production. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eWhat is it that makes this performance unique? Well, first there is the singing—this was a time when these operas could still be cast with singers who had the vocal equipment and the understanding of the style to do full justice to Wagner's scores. I realize that we have been bemoaning the loss of Nilsson for a long time now—and yes, I'd love to have her likes again. But failing that, I'd be thrilled to have a Varnay. Here was a powerful, gleaming dramatic soprano who could negotiate the music without ever forcing her voice, and who knew how to shade and color the music in a way that brought out the human qualities in Brünnhilde. It is true that she is vocally a bit unsteady in the first half of the \u003ci\u003eSiegfried \u003c\/i\u003eduet, but that music is a trial for a soprano who doesn't sing a note all night until then, and she does settle down for the final push. Her big scenes with Wotan (act II of \u003ci\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/i\u003e and act III of \u003ci\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/i\u003e) and with Siegmund (act II of \u003ci\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/i\u003e) reveal her to be an intelligent, communicative artist who fully engages with others in meaningful dramatic exchanges. How nice to find that and the vocal heft too!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eWindgassen is a marvelous Siegfried, managing to retain his voice throughout both operas and to sing with more beauty of tone than we usually associate with him. That he knows his way around the role, and inflects it with specificity of characterization, is no surprise. What is disappointing is his assumption of the role of Siegmund in \u003ci\u003eWalküre\u003c\/i\u003e, which he did on almost no notice when Ramon Vinay was taken ill. He sounds tired, and sings flat in both acts I and II. The worst ensemble mess in the entire cycle takes place between him and Knappertsbusch immediately after Sieglinde's \"Der manner Sippe.\" It goes on for quite a while and dilutes the impact of the end of the first act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThe other great asset is, as you would expect, Hans Hotter, who conveys the complexity of the character of Wotan more completely than any other bass-baritone of the postwar era. The voice is far steadier here than it was for Solti on London's \u003ci\u003eRing\u003c\/i\u003e, though even here his strengths are in musical-dramatic values, not in steady tone production. (In the latter regard, he is stronger in the 1953 Krauss cycle.) The mixture of anger, anguish, tenderness, and love in his feelings for his favorite daughter are crystallized as with no other singer, and he had the variety of color and inflection to maintain one's interest throughout Wotan's long monolog in act II of \u003ci\u003eWalküre\u003c\/i\u003e, given here uncut. Wotan also has a unique combination of arrogance, haughtiness, and humility, and I have never encountered a singer who encapsulated it all as well. Hotter embodies the spirit of Reynaldo Hahn's wonderful dictum on singing: \"The genuine beauty of singing consists in a perfect union, an amalgam, a mysterious alloy of the singing and the speaking voice, or, to put it better, the melody and the spoken word.\" ... \"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Fogel\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFanfare \u003c\/i\u003emagazine, 1998  (Part 1 - review continues in notes to \u003ci\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eKNAPPERTSBUSCH \u003c\/b\u003eThe 1956 \u003cb\u003eWagner\u003c\/b\u003e Ring: 2. \u003cb\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003edisc one\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e (79:07)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eACT ONE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e1.\u003c\/span\u003e Prelude\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (3:20)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSCENE ONE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e2.\u003c\/span\u003e Wes Herd dies auch sei, hier muss ich rasten\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (3:35)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e3.\u003c\/span\u003e Kühlende Labung Gab Mir Der Quell!\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (4:25)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e4.\u003c\/span\u003e Einen Unseligen labtest du\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (4:06)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSCENE TWO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e5.\u003c\/span\u003e Müd am Herd fand ich den Mann\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (5:02)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e6.\u003c\/span\u003e Friedman darf ich nicht heissen\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (5:53)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e7.\u003c\/span\u003e Die so leidig Los dir beschied\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (4:23)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e8.\u003c\/span\u003e Ich weiss ein wildes Geschlecht\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (5:52)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSCENE THREE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e9.\u003c\/span\u003e Ein Schwert verhiess mir der Vater\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (4:51)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e10.\u003c\/span\u003e Schläfst du, Gast?\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (6:51)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e11.\u003c\/span\u003e Winterstürme wichen dem Wonnemond\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (2:57)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e12.\u003c\/span\u003e Du bist der Lenz, nach dem ich verlangte\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003e (2:04)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e13.\u003c\/span\u003e O süsseste Wonne!

Unlike Krauss, Karajan and to a lesser extent Keilberth, the older conductor took a more measured view of the scores overall, one based on his preference for the long paragraph, well defined, almost pawky rhythms, and prominent \u003ci\u003eritardandi \u003c\/i\u003eat points not always indicated in the score. At moments he seems to lose focus and let things run their own way where ensemble is concerned but, as a whole, especially in \u003ci\u003eRheingold \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/i\u003e, his epic view of the score is almost unsurpassed. Even in the two middle operas there are moments of alternating quiet reflection and earthy energy that are very special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eHe has at his command an ensemble of dedicated singers who had built their characterisations to a peak of achievement by 1956. Practically all are German-speaking and all have the art of acting with their voices in an immediate and communicative way, not to forget that they each had voices of a Wagnerian power too seldom found today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eRheingold \u003c\/i\u003eI was astonished and delighted once more by the frightening power and presence of Gustav Neidlinger’s trenchantly sung Alberich and by the detail, feeling and vocal authority of Hans Hotter’s unsurpassed Wotan. Beside them an erstwhile Siegfried, Ludwig Suthaus, offers a Loge who gives every word, even syllable a distinctive colour and meaning, while Jean Madeira’s Erda emits other-worldly authority. And any Rheingold that boasts Josef Traxel, then a leading lyric tenor in Germany, as Froh has a bonus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eFour singers heard in later operas are introduced here. Paul Kuen, another familiar figure, is Mime and provides character without exaggeration. Georgine von Milinkovic introduces us to an imperiously nagging Fricka and comes into her own in the next work. Josef Greindl is a formidable if unsubtle Fasolt, later a granite Hunding and a fearsome Hagen: no wonder, given so much work to do, he sometimes tires a little. Gré Brouwenstijn, a properly worried Freia, then gives us a Sieglinde who develops, in glorious tones, from an introvert to an extrovert when love strikes her. Beside her is Wolfgang Windgassen, standing in at the last moment for an ailing Vinay, and singing a Siegmund who is at once \u003ci\u003ebel canto\u003c\/i\u003e in line yet intensely eloquent. Incredibly, the next evening he is a tirelessly effective Siegfried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eHotter is magnificent in Wotan’s Act 2 monologue, here made to seem at the very heart of the whole cycle, and as ever deeply moving in his Act 3 Farewell, forgiving signs of vocal weariness at the start of the act. By then we have met and admired Astrid Varnay’s very womanly yet heroic Brünnhilde. She occasionally overdoes the histrionics but by and large she has the character in her voice and bones in a way few other dramatic sopranos have managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSiegfried \u003c\/i\u003eHotter manages ideally the humour of his Act 1 colloquy with Mime, his face-off with Neidlinger’s Alberich in Act 2, and his desperation when meeting Madeira’s implacable Erda at the start of Act 3. The awakening of Brünnhilde is not one of the conductor’s best moments but the lovers give their all in the closing duet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eAll the momentous climaxes of the cycle’s finale find Kna at his most potent and involved, just as in 1951, and Varnay seconds him with her projection of all Brünnhilde’s joy and sorrow. She also – incredibly – took on the Third Norn, at very short notice, Mödl having been taken suddenly ill. Madeira is heard again to advantage as both First Norn and Waltraute – would any singer do both today? Act 2 is simply tremendous. In this work Brouwenstijn returns as a vocally comely Gutrune, and Hermann Uhde, as in all the 1950s cycles, is an unsurpassed Gunther. With the Immolation one rightly feels that the earth has moved and that one has been through a life-enhancing experience, which is as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;

Made in Berlin with the RIAS Symphony Orchestra and a stellar cast of Central European singers, this production captures the spirit of the opera with freshness, theatrical vitality, and a musical intelligence that remains striking to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFricsay approached \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Flute\u003c\/i\u003e not as a folkloric fantasy but as a work of profound philosophical and emotional depth. A conductor deeply rooted in both operatic and symphonic traditions, he emphasised textual clarity, rhythmic transparency, and dramatic pacing. In his hands, Mozart’s music flows with a natural grace that serves both the narrative and its symbolic architecture. Every phrase is shaped with care, yet the overall result feels spontaneous and full of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCentral to the success of this recording is the conductor’s inspired casting. As Tamino, Swiss tenor Ernst Haefliger brings a refined lyricism and poetic sensibility to the role. His voice, elegant and emotionally nuanced, perfectly suits the prince’s journey from confusion to enlightenment. Opposite him, the Swiss-Hungarian soprano Maria Stader sings Pamina with radiant tone and exquisite delicacy. Her “Ach, ich fühl’s” is a highlight of the recording—unforced, deeply felt, and heartbreaking in its simplicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRita Streich, a soprano of sparkling clarity, tackles the Queen of the Night’s fearsome arias with apparent ease. Her precision and control are matched by a cool, shimmering tone that captures the queen’s regal poise as well as her icy menace. While her voice may not possess the explosive power often associated with this role, Streich offers a portrayal of unsettling serenity—more serpent than storm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most celebrated aspects of this recording is the presence of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as Papageno. At the time best known for his lieder singing, Fischer-Dieskau brings rare vocal finesse and emotional range to the bird-catcher. His Papageno is more than a comic sidekick: he is a man of real feeling, charm, and melancholy, delivered with disarming directness and humour. His scenes with Lisa Otto’s bright and delightful Papagena sparkle with charm and warmth, offering one of the most human portrayals of their duet on record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Sarastro, Josef Greindl delivers a sonorous, imposing performance, his cavernous bass perfectly matched to the character’s moral authority. There is gravity and serenity in his portrayal, though never pomposity. In “In diesen heil’gen Hallen,” he projects not just authority but a deep sense of compassion. Kim Borg’s eloquent Speaker adds further depth to the Masonic order’s representatives, embodying the values of reason and brotherhood with quiet dignity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe RIAS Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Choir—both under Fricsay’s regular direction—perform with clarity, discipline, and expressive warmth. The orchestral textures are clean and alert, with winds and brass particularly well-balanced. Fricsay's command of pacing ensures that the many shifts in mood and style throughout the opera unfold seamlessly. The ceremonial grandeur of the choruses contrasts vividly with the intimacy of the duets and the sparkle of the comic numbers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrucially, the performance gives full weight to the opera’s Singspiel form. The spoken dialogue, often a stumbling block in recordings, is delivered with brisk authority and a strong sense of character. Fricsay ensures that dramatic momentum is never lost, and the result feels as much like a stage performance as a studio creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn its balance of seriousness and wit, theatrical energy and musical refinement, this 1954 \u003ci\u003eZauberflöte \u003c\/i\u003eremains one of the most persuasive interpretations on disc. It speaks of an age when opera recording was not just documentation but a form of art in itself—when casting, conducting, and production aligned around a singular artistic vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFerenc Fricsay’s \u003ci\u003eMagic Flute\u003c\/i\u003e remains fresh not because it is novel or eccentric, but because it draws so faithfully and vividly on the heart of Mozart’s intentions.
