5.0 out of 5 stars An overlooked jewel, June 4, 2000
By "marrano" (Malibu, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I don't know what made me seek out this opera a couple years ago -- was it the rosette from the Penguin Guide, or a friend's rave review? In any case I have no regrets. Hearing "Die Vogel" is a little like hearing a great but forgotten Richard Strauss opera. Braunfels was apparently a favorite composer of the conductor Bruno Walter (and others), but is today little known outside of a rather limited priesthood of opera fans. He certainly deserves much better. His idiom is sweet and light, but rich in texture and historical resonance. Listening to this opera is a fascinating experience for the die-hard Strauss fan, who will come to better understand the fuller context of pre-war German opera. It's also an absolutely superb recording, the best I know of in the "Entartete Musik" series. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed, July 5, 2002
I agree with the first reviewer: I've just listened to this opera again, and it's absolutely ravishing. It's a full Wagnerian opera, but with a wonderful, gentle sunniness and humor. Its classical setting is like several of Strauss's operas but it's better realized. This is a terrific performance.

After listening to this and Rutland Boughton's "The Immortal Hour" (which I also warmly recommend) I wonder how many other wonderful operas have been forgotten because their conservative romantic idiom was untimely. Korngold's operas too, of course.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Pleasure, June 3, 2006
By lamplight "dr" (Charleston, SC USA) - See all my reviews
I first heard Die Vogel at the Spoleto festival in Charleston, SC last year. I wanted a recording, but had great difficulty finding one until now. The music is pure and easy on the ears, the themes timeless, and the setting actually very current instead of in the drawing rooms of 18th and 19th century aristocracy. I took a first-time opera go-er with me, and she loved it! Share this hidden beauty! I hope more versions are recorded to allow the public a choice of varied interpretations.
