Amazon.com essential recording

Though Czech opera has often had questionable export value due to linguistic barriers, this first truly international recording of Dvorák's most viable opera--inspired by Wagner's love of mythology and Verdi's melodic drama--suggests that non-Czech artists can be more than just credible. As a water sprite who becomes human for love of a prince, Renée Fleming gives her best recorded performance so far with a dramatic heat and theatrical dimension (plus her customary vocal luster) that her Czech predecessors haven't always mustered. Ben Heppner is a robust-voiced prince, though this one- dimensional role doesn't inspire any special affinity from him. Dolora Zajick is a vivid, vocally commanding witch. The one substantial disappointment is Franz Hawiata as the leathery-voiced water goblin. Conductor Sir Charles Mackerras is less interested in creating surface excitement than in bringing out subtleties that help compensate for the composer's occasional lack of melodic precision, though the big moments are by no means slighted. --David Patrick Stearns

The best case possible for Rusalka.......2007-02-27

In 1998 Fleming and Heppner were widely accalimed for this, the most vocally resplendent Rusalk ever recorded. As everyone else says, Ms. Fleming's radiant soprano is thrilling in the title role, and Heppner's heroic timbre is gilt-edged casting. Mackerrass is a Czech specialist from way back, and his conducing is strong and sympathetic. One might lament that we can't have native Czech performers on this level, but Decca recorded most of ts Janacek cycle, also under Mackerras, with non-native leads. I imagine that the Czech pronunciation here is much less than idiomatic, and that there's a good deal more earthiness in Dvorak's music, but those are quibbles. This amounts to one of the most ravishing opera recordings in years.

One Spotlight reviewer above makes idiotic comments about Mozart's operas being "about on a par" with his symphonies, about Mozart operas being neglected, and about Rusalka not being performed becasue the music is too difficult (compared to Wozzeck?). In reality Rusalka has been neglected in the first place because it's Czech, in the second because the libretto is a conventional fantasy-fairy tale that lacks psychological interest (the same problem afflicts Rimsky-Korsakov's operas), and third becasue Dvorak, like Tchaikovsky, didn't follow the familiar oepratic styles of Verdi, Rossini, Mozart, and Wagner.

Of those, Wagner comes closest, I supose, yet comparisons hardly matter. Dvorak wrote an assemblange of songs, marches, dramatic monologues, duets, and folk-inspired ensembles that are altogether beautiful without holding up as a coherent operatic whole--particularly at three and a half hours. Arias are supposed to advance either character or situation; here they are often just songs. Having said that, this is one nelgected oepra that sounds so delightful at home that one hardly misses the stage action, which in any event doesn't exactly rise to high drama.

The absolute BEST Rusalka I could ever ask for.......2006-05-09

I had wanted this recording for ages, and when I finally got it... WOW was my very first reaction. I have heard a few other Rusalka recordings after this, yet none of them can ever match this one. Renee Fleming is at her absolute most superb peak in this role, and her "Song to the moon" is not only flawless but also brings pretty much everything one can ask for to this aria. No doubt Renee Fleming's Rusalka would become a legend, and no doubt that she absolutely owns this part and that aria. If I have to write out all the good things I want to say about this recording, I'll probably end up writing a 5-pg essay.

Not Exactly Disney's Little Mermaid.......2005-10-22

Some of the great symphonic composers had a difficult time getting music to work on stage. Beethoven seems to be the only one who had great success at it. His FIDELIO is considered a classic and somewhat on a par with his symphonic works. The same could be said about Mozart too, but not if you keep in mind that only seven of his operas are performed with any regularity even though he wrote far more than seven operas. Tchaikovsky wanted to be known more for his operas than his symphonies, but only two of his works are in the repertoire of most opera houses, and these works are not performed as often as works by Verdi, Puccini, or Wagner, and while they are rich works, they pale in comparison with his symphonic treasures. Dvorak probably had the worst luck. He wrote music for opera that was potentially beautiful but so complex, it was too difficult to perform. When he did get the music to work, the libretto was insipid and the work never gained a place in the hearts of most listeners. The one exception is RUSALKA, an opera that is a darker version of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid." This work is often thought of as a one aria opera with a somewhat familiar polonaise. People familiar with this opera know this is not the case. The early bars of the opera remind the listeners of Wagner's Rhine Maidens from Das Rheingold, the arias sound as if they could be at home in any Verdi opera, yet the opera while borrowing styles from other composers is uniquely Dvorak. While it is not a perfect work, it does have much to offer the listener and deserves the stagings it receives from time to time.

This is a wonderful recording of the work and contains many of the most familiar names in opera. Renee Fleming in the title role is exceptional. Her voice captures the heart and her singing makes the listener believe she is the tragic heroine of the work. We sense she does love the Prince more than she loves herself, and we feel for her. Ben Heppner is the Prince, and his performance is good. He does strain a bit from time to time, which is not rare for Heppner, but we still get an appreciation for his dramatic intensity. Delora Zajick delivers a good, if not always exciting Jezibaba the witch. Franz Hawlata sings the role of Vodnik, the water goblin and while his interpretation is not flawed, it is more sanitary than dramatic and doesn't quite match the performances of Fleming, Heppner, and Zajick. The true star of the recording could be Sir Charles Mackerras. He handles Dvorak's score beautifully, not surprising given his other renditions of Dvorak, and the Czech Philharmonic gives a solid enthusiastic performance throughout the recording.

Get the Chalabala - Subrtova Version.......2005-10-06

I have listened to both this version and the Chalabala version, and heard Fleming live. Fleming's voice is stronger than Subrtova's, but Subrtova sings with greater lustre and passion and comes across as a better Rusalka. The Chalabala version is more dramatic. Also, Fleming takes some liberties with "Mesicku nad nebi hlubokem" that I don't think are exactly appropriate, and her pronunciation is obviously not nearly as good as Subrtova's; in fact I think she trips up on some words rather awkwardly.

Zidek and Haken are also much stronger than Heppner and Hawlatha.

The orchestra in the Chalabala version may not be as reputable as the Czech Philharmonic, but they do a superb job.

And please look beyond "Song to the Moon" - there are so many other wonderful parts - the dryads in the first and third acts, Rusalka's dialogues with the Vodnik and Jezibaba (Staleta moudrost tva), the Polonaise, Kvetiny bile po ceste in the second act, Mladosti sve pozbavena in the third act, and of course the wonderful finale ending with the immortal Buh te pomiluj.

Not bad but not the best.......2004-07-07

Knowing Subrtova, Zidek, Haken recording conducted by Chalabala, I simply could not give five stars. I like Fleming and I regard her as a one of the best current soprano, but if you could listen the older recording mentioned above, you would get to know WHAT Rusalka IS.

Beethoven's only opera underwent three incarnations and a name change. Written in 1804-05, its premiere was a disaster due to Napoleon's invasion of Austria and the aristocracy's flight from Vienna. Revived in 1806, drastically cut and revised, it was more successful, but did not triumph until 1814, considerably rewritten and renamed Fidelio. This is the first, all too rarely heard version, whose neglect can be explained by its slow pace and lack of dramatic thrust and narrative cohesion. In his revisions, Beethoven remedied this not only by sacrificing, or altering, ravishingly beautiful music, but by projecting a more spontaneous emotional response to the story than the opera's final version. This recording uses an excellent orchestra of period instruments, creating remarkable clarity of texture; like the premiere, it opens with the Leonore No. 2 Overture. The singing is wonderful throughout, though Leonore sounds a little tame for the dauntless heroine. Instead of the spoken dialogue, a German actor functions as narrator; unfortunately his text, with quotes from contemporary poetry, is cast in such florid, inflated language that it obscures rather than elucidates the action. --Edith Eisler

Interesting and pretty good.......2006-10-25

Other reviewer makes valid comments.

The narrator is OK, but not sure if it works really well. Strange with the German translation of the Wordsworth at the beginning.

The recording quality and the orchestral playing is superb, so that is certainly a big plus of this set.

The singers are OK; nothing to get excited about. But the Pizzaro (Matthew Best) is pretty awful -- random rough sounds all over the place a lot of the time!

Let the buyer beware..........2002-01-28

Though this is a fine performance of the opera Gardiner's liberties with the text make it exemplary of all that is (historically) wrong with contemporary opera reconstruction and performance. First, Gardiner largely utilises the earliest text of the opera adding material from the revised version only if "aesthetics" dictate. Second, Gardiner disses the original dialogue (it doesn't meet the "transcendental" aesthetic criteria he relies on) and replaces it with a version written by a German actor of today...

I suppose that if Gardiner got a hold of Huckleberry Finn he would jettison a couple of chapters and re-write Huck's monologues. God save us from such ahistorical reconstruction.

Album Description

"Norrington is a superb Berlioz conductor, who relishes every spark of invention in the score, every innovatory texture. Though he was conducting a modern-instrument orchestra, he applied some of the principles of period performance, making the strings ration their vibrato and the timpanists use hard sticks, and the textures never blurred ... this performance really came alive!" -- The Guardian

An authentic live performance of a seldom-heard masterpiece with world-famous Roger Norrington leading a talented young continental cast. Issued in celebration of the 2006 Berlioz Year at the Royal Albert Hall, London.
