Gluck: Orfeo ed Euridice
Fischer-Dieskau, Söderström, Pütz; Leitner
Köln, 1964
$9.95
Description:
After hearing this performance, it becomes clear that the role of Orfeo doesn’t quite suit a baritone—the lower tessitura tends to dampen the urgency that a soprano or tenor naturally brings. Even so, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau’s insightful interpretation ultimately rises above the mismatch, offering a compelling take on the role. Elisabeth Söderström brings tragic elegance to Euridice with her silvery soprano, blending vulnerability and grace. Ruth-Margret Pütz adds a mischievous spark as Amor, infusing the performance with charm and energy.
