Strauss: Die Frau ohne Schatten (In English)
Evans, Katsu, Tinsley, Bailey, Payne; Armstrong
Cardiff, 1977
$14.95
Description:
Richard Strauss' magical fairy tale comes vividly to life in this English-language performance of Die Frau ohne Schatten. The translation proves effective, sidestepping some of the libretto’s more awkward elements while allowing the singers to maintain the vocal heft the score demands. A young Anne Evans brings luminous purity to the title role, and Pauline Tinsley, with her bold vocalism, is a compelling and dramatically potent Dyer’s Wife. Norman Bailey offers a warm, grounded presence as Barak, his singing full of quiet dignity. The sound quality is excellent, allowing the full color of the performance to shine through.
