Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
DESCRIPTION
By 1966, Beverly Sills was emerging as a major presence on the operatic stage, and her portrayal of Konstanze confirms both her magnetic stage persona and exceptional technical command. Few sopranos possess the requisite combination of vocal steel and fleetness to negotiate this demanding role; Sills, however, meets its challenges with remarkable authority. Her “Martern aller Arten” is a veritable study in control and stamina, while “Traurigkeit” resonates with emotional depth, evoking the same poignancy found in her famed rendition of “Lascia ch’io pianga” from Giulio Cesare.
John Alexander brings a robust, burnished tenor to Belmonte, pairing vocal strength with admirable agility. The performance is sung in English and conducted with verve by Julius Rudel, who maintains both dramatic momentum and stylistic elegance throughout.
