nibelungensohn ::: Favorites 2008-01-14 21:42:23 Thank you for the review, weepingforbrunnhilde. Doesn't sound too far from what I expected except I had pretty high hope for Maazel. __________________________________________________ | |
weepingforbrunnhilde ::: Favorites 2008-01-14 02:06:17 Gasteen was forgettable. I really didn't find anything in her performance to inspire and her voice often didn't reach me up in the rafters or was swallowed up by the orchestra. Morris was fine, but not spine-tingling. But still, even a mediocre performance of die Walkure is moving enough. I realize they can't all be Flagstad, but it seems even the average peformers of yesteryear were stronger than they are today. A dying art, I suppose. __________________________________________________ | |
weepingforbrunnhilde ::: Favorites 2008-01-14 02:02:42 Cheers! Performance was last week. Not very good, alas. By far, imo, the strongest performance was Stephanie Blythe's Fricka. Her voice reached right into my soul, way up in the cheap seats. Mazel was, imo, terrible. No sense of drama, no passion. Quite dull, unfortunately. __________________________________________________ | |
nibelungensohn ::: Favorites 2008-01-13 23:29:27 Met Walkuere cast Brünnhilde: Lisa Gasteen Sieglinde: Adrianne Pieczonka/Deborah Voigt Fricka: Stephanie Blythe/Michelle DeYoung Siegmund: Clifton Forbis/Simon O'Neill Wotan: James Morris Hunding: Mikhail Petrenko Conductor: Maazel/Runnicles In my opinion, a really strong cast. My favorite being Pieczonka - the greatest Siglinde since Leonie Rysanek. __________________________________________________ | |
