Metropolitan Opera at Home - Wagner's Gotterdammerung. October 10, 2020.
Original Performance Date: April 21, 1990. Conductor - James Levine. Brunnhilde - Hildegard Behrens, Siegfried - Siegfried Jerusalem, Hagen - Matti Salminen, Waltrute - Christa Ludwig, Gutrune - Hanna Lisowska, Gunther - Anthony Raffell, Alberich - Ekkehard Wlaschiha, Norns - Gweneth Bean, Joyce Castle, Andrea Gruber; Woglinde - Kaaren Erickson, Wallgunda - Diana Kesling, Flosshilde - Meredith Parsons. One reaction I didn't expect to have is that I prefer the 24-Plank set to this one, described (somewhere) as the one truest to Wagner's original concept (at least until then, and who is to judge?). Behrens got hurt at the end of one of the Gotterdammerung Valhalla destruction scenes, and had to withdraw from the last cycle. Since she also sang in the April 26, 1990 Siegfried, one can assume it wasn't at this performance. She would die in her early 70s while traveling in Japan. The quality of the video […]

Prom 61: Ultimately, rather uninvolved - the Vienna Philharmonic in Dvořák and Korngold
[…] rehearsal went into the “New World” Symphony performance. Were those woodwind chords of the opening balanced? A bracing tempo led to an exhilarating experience in the first movement (exposition repeat honoured), yet the slowing for the more lyrical material felt somewhat forced. Telling that the brass chord that opens the famous Lento was not absolutely together, although the famous cor anglais solo was a wonder (strangely not credited in the orchestral list: it was Wolfgang Plank). There were some slightly untidy corners of ensemble later on, also. One moment of string magic, on which Orozco-Estrada could have justifiably lingered just that touch longer was the movement’s point of illumination. The Scherzo was the finest movement, although whereas the brass had been almost impossibly accurate the previous night, there was a corker of a split in the horn unison passage; were several significant misses elsewhere, too, including the solo in the […]
