Fairy music for big voices!,

This review is from: Weber: Oberon (Audio CD)
This recording is sensational!! I cannot say to much! Kubelik handles the orchestra like gossamer. The cast is all star quality with Domingo singing beautifully and the late Birgit Nilsson (Whom I met once) at her peak. Her rendition of "Ozean Ungeheur" (spelling may be off) is simply stunning! Her attack on the first note is a voice lesson by itself, followed by such singing as to give a student a whole course in vocal emission by the end of it. Donald Grobe is superb as Oberon and the others do a great job also. Listen to Arleen Auger sing the Meermadchen! I guarantee you will love this recording and the price is agreeable too. Don't let this one pass you by!

Weber at his best. There is hardly any way for anyone to listen to this recording without getting the same feelings that come when watching a great sunrise or sunset. It is a musical discovery for me because of the musical quality of the recording. Weber never sounded so good!

OBERON IS A GREAT OPERA; Von WEBER IS UNDERRATED,

This review is from: Weber: Oberon (Audio CD)
Words can only begin to do justice to this great performance. Placido Domengo and Birgit Nielson in this same work that is vastly underrated in the US. Both their big arias are wonderfully recorded. In the case of Miss Nielson "Ocean der Ungenhauer" is a better take than on her single recording. It is amazing to me that "Von Jugend in Dem Kampfgefeld" is not part of the standard tenor repertory. Domengo is so great here that chills go up my spine. It is easy to forget that Wagner was very favorably impressed with this work, and that Weber's Der Freishutz was chosen by Kirsten Flagsted for her debut. Carl Maria von Weber is rightfully more appreciated in Europe than in the US.
