Description:

This all-American trio of divas delivers a performance rich in nuance, and with acute connection to Hofmannsthal's libretto. Evelyn Lear is deft at balancing when to scale her voice back for the introspective moments, and then let it loose when Strauss wants the vocal line to soar. Frederica von Stade's Octavian overflows with personality and humanity. As Sophie, Patricia Wise adds depth to a character that can often come across as a sweet, but vapid teenager.
