FIRST COMPLETE RECORDING

orlandorec1 | Seattle, Washington United States | 02/24/2001

(3 out of 5 stars)

"THE NEW RECORDING WAS MADE IN KOLN AFTER A SUCESSFULL CONCERT PERFORMANCE OF THIS RARE OPERA. THE ONLY RECORDING AVAILIBLE BEFORE WAS ON SUPRAPHON LABEL (A CZECH RADIO PRODUKTION FROM THE 1950TH) WHICH WAS HEAVILY CUT FROM ITS CURRENT 164 MINUTES TO 92) SO OBVIOUSLY THIS NEW RECORDING MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME TO HEAR MORE THAN ONE ADDITIONAL HOUR OF MUSIC. THIS IS THE ONLY BIG ADVANTAGE OF THIS SET. SOPRANO OLGA ROMANKO SINGS WITH A DARK TONE, BUT HER INTONATION, AS WELL AS DICTION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I DID SEE HER ON FEW OCCASIONS (AS LEONORA IN TROVATORE & DESDEMONA IN OTELLO), BUT BOTH SUFFERED FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. IRINA TSCHISTJAKOVAS DARK MEZZO IS ALSO UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE, RESEMBELING A LOT THE CZECH MEZZOSOPRANO VERA SOUKUPOVA (EX. ERDA IN BOHMS RING). THE ONLY CZECH SINGERS ARE TENOR PETR STRAKA & IVAN KUSNJER, BOTH NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE IN COLOR, BUT VOCALY SECURE. GERD ALBRECHT CONDUCTS THIS GRAND CZECH OPERA ALLA MEYERBEER WITH SENSE FOR DETAIL, BUT IT IS PITY THAT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH A BETTER QUARTET OF PRINCIPALS (TODAYS EVA URBANOVA OR GABRIELA BENACKOVA, EVA RANDOVA & PETER DVORSKY IN THEIR PRIME WOULD BEEN MORE SUITABLE FOR THE DEMANDING PARTS). IF YOU LOVE DVORAK'S RUSALKA, BUY IT; IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE PIECE COMPLETE DO THE SAME; BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE STYLE OF THE PIECE PLESE TURN TO THE SUPRAPHON RECORDING."
