Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier - Bampton, Cavelti, Chelavine, List, Destal; E. Kleiber. Buenos Aires, 1947
$8.95
Description:
Erich Kleiber offers a masterclass in Straussian interpretation, illuminating the score of Der Rosenkavalier with extraordinary precision and character. From the articulation of the flute in Act I—portraying Hippolyte, the Marschallin's flustered hairdresser—to countless other subtle touches, Kleiber brings the opera vividly to life in ways rarely heard. Rose Bampton lends the Marschallin elegance and emotional warmth, while Olga Chelavine is a radiant Sophie. Emanuel List brings exuberant charm to Ochs, his larger-than-life portrayal infectiously endearing rather than merely buffoonish.
Note: The beginning of the Act III prelude is missing.
