Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- 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.
Cons:
- None to mention.
