Strauss: Die schweigsame Frau - Böhme, Wunderlich, Hallstein, Souza; Wallberg. Buenos Aires, 1962
$9.95
Description:
Strauss’s charming and seldom-performed opera Die schweigsame Frau receives luxurious treatment in this standout performance from Buenos Aires. Kurt Böhme, in the role of Sir Morosus, avoids the trap of commedia dell’arte caricature, offering a nuanced and genuinely comic portrayal of Strauss’s take on the Don Pasquale archetype. His performance balances gravity and humor, bringing warmth and depth to a role often played for broad laughs.
Fritz Wunderlich is in radiant form as Henry, his nephew, imbuing the role with youthful charm and a golden tone. He makes the most of Strauss’s lyrical writing, effortlessly spinning out melodic lines with natural ease. Ingeborg Hallstein brings a pleasant presence to Aminta, though she doesn’t quite match her male colleagues in vocal distinction.
