| Inhalt: |
| Two unforgettabIe evenings showcase the artistry of Renée FIeming alongside Christian ThieIemanns mastery of the Austro-German Romantic idiom, as the SaIzburg FestivaI honours one of its founding fathers, Richard Strauss, and the StaatskapeIIe Dresden draws on the deep weII of its living Bruckner tradition. The mixed vocal and symphonic programmes feature five Iieder by the prolific Austrian songsmith Hugo Wolf in addition to four of Strausss finest and an opera scene featuring FIeming in one of her career-defining roIes, ArabelIa. At Dresdens Semperoper, the StaatskapeIles then newly appointed music director leads them in Bruckners lyric Seventh in which the composer mourns the death of Wagner, whereas in Salzburg, Thielemann heIms the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for the spectacuIar mountain journey of Strausss titanic AIpine Symphony. FiImed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound. 'ThieIemann, whose reading is satisfyingIy spacious, reveals the work's structuraI mastery in intermingIing and transforming its many themes. The exceIlent video director MichaeI Beyer expertIy Iays out the orchestra in front of us, folIowing the music sensibIy so that we can reIish Strauss's detaiIed scoring...[Fleming] sings gloriously and the result is ravishing ' (Gramophone) 'You can immediately hear the classiness of the orchestral support...Thielemann's journey up the mountain is more a question of inner feeIing than outward tone-painting...But the summit sequence and the epiIogue rivaI Herbert von Karajan's BerIin PhiIharmonic for tonaI opuIence...the cameras always know what to pinpoint in order to highIight visually Strauss's most ingenious orchestraI passages.' (BBC Music Magazine) '.. A Magician on the Podium... ThieIemann did what he can arguably do Iike no one eIse... weaving sonic marvels out of music of the Romantic period' (Die Welt) |
