I said in that review that there are […]

I noted that like the Callas Tosca, since it was first issued this has been defined as a classic of the recording industry by just about every commentator who has written about it. It is, quite simply, one of […]

‘Les Pêcheurs de Perles’ and ‘Tannhäuser’ (Part Two) — Wagner, Bizet and Performance Practices Then and Now
[…] That’s more than most composers can lay claim to. Memorable Met Moments Keeping the above issues in mind, the problems of Tannhäuser and his conflicting pursuit of carnal lust and spiritual love have been portrayed by an ever-diminishing gallery of big-voiced heroic tenors. In the Met’s pre- and postwar heyday, the Great Dane Lauritz Melchior took pride of place among the handful of artists brave enough to take up the role’s challenges.

Each brought their specific vocal traits and acting requirements to the medieval Minnesinger, with the bulkily built McCracken and Cassilly looking and sounding like mirror images of each other. With a voice like thunder, the […]
