Herbert Von Karajan - His Legacy for Home Video - Richard Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier Reviews
Simply divine
Along with the recording, this cast of "Der Rosenkavalier" is really one of the absolute best that I could ever ask for. Anna Tomowa-Sintow's Marschallin nearly brought me to tears, Agnes Baltsa's Octavian is absoultely sublime, and Janet Perry's Sophie is utterly lovely and adorable! Plus the amazing sets and the divinity of Maestro von Karajan, this DVD is simply amazing, one of the most perfect Rosenkavalier productions, and doesn't lose a bit to the Convent Garden production with Kiri Te Kanawa, Anne Howells, and Barbara Bonney.
Reference and perfection - what else?
A (the?) reference performance of Strauss's "Rosenkavalier". Dated? no: timeless! The rival, hard to chose from: Carlos Kleiber's rendition with Anne Sophie von Otter as Octavian instead of Agnes Baltsa. I don't really like Richard Strauss, but I love and collect great recordings, and I cherish both of these "Rosenkavaliers" for the performances given. They are two solitary gems - perfectly transfered onto DVD, sound as well as picture. A pleasure to watch and to own!
For somebody who loves Strauss, they are a must. You'll never meet the likes again.
