Weber: Oberon - Rysanek, Offermans, Litz, Lückert, Günther; Keilberth. Köln, 1953
$8.95
Description:
Leonie Rysanek delivers a breathtaking performance as Rezia in Weber’s Oberon, her powerful top notes at times nearly overwhelming the microphone (a balance we have adjusted to some extent). Her achievement in this role is even more remarkable considering she was only 26—an age when most sopranos are still finding their artistic footing. Gisela Litz also stands out as Fatima, offering a compelling and beautifully sung portrayal.
This recording is essential for Rysanek devotees, capturing her youthful brilliance in a rarely performed gem.
BONUS:
Leonie Rysanek sings arias from Ariadne auf Naxos, Wien, 1967.
