Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov: Sadko
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Sadko is a shimmering fairy tale of an opera, featuring Rimsky-Korsakov's gift for tone-painting and orchestral coloring at its most splendidly developed, with many lovely tunes to beguile the ear. This live recording suffers at times from thumpings occasioned by the staging, and from a few rough patches in the choral work, but it gains from the Kirov's legendary ensemble work. The huge and able cast is headed by Vladimir Galusin's heldentenorish Sadko, a troubadour who becomes the richest man in Novgorod; and by soprano Valentina Tsidipova's beguiling Volkhova, the Sea-King's daughter. This is opera as storytelling and escape, and very pleasant storytelling it is. --Sarah Bryan Miller

There is a highlights production by Philips by Gergiev. I guess the footage presented here is originating from this cd. Outstanding. It is clear Moessorgsky and Rimsky were friends and or enemies.
Static but sumptuous - Sadko casts a spell.......1999-07-09
You can really smell the sea in this opera - the simple evocation of the rocking sea that opens the opera weaves itself into every corner of the score. Don't expect a well made opera a la Puccini, instead it's a leisurely series of tableaux recounting the adventures of Sadko, a musician turned merchant who finds himself on the bottom of the sea. The second and sixth scenes are probably the high spots, the Sea Princess and her watery cohorts are given some gorgeously florid music, but the market scene runs it close, with its songs of three travelling merchants - including the famous Hindu Song. Unfortunately that is one disappointment on this recording, Gegam Gregoriam has neither the line or control to make this old chestnut suitably hypnotic. However the lead performers, Vladimir Galusin (a tireless Sadko) and Valentina Tsidipova (an alluring Sea-Princess) are very appealing - and the rest of the cast is very strong indeed. Gergiev is excellent at pacing this score, which can seem repetitive in lesser hands. Recording quality is perhaps not the best, and there is a fair amount of stage noise, particularly in the more folksy crowd scenes, but Rimsky's vision of a fantastical old Russia and the full spectrum of his technicolour score comes through unimpaired. I play this set a great deal and highly recommend it.

The Essential Coloratura Album.......2007-02-16
The artistry of Rita Streich presented in this multi-disc set represents an art that in all likelihood would not return: the Viennese school of coloratura and lyrical singing.
Together with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Rita Streich studied voice with Maria Ivogun, a great coloratura soprano of the German-Austro school. Together with her colleague, Streich excelled in the Viennese-style coloratura singing. This album presents her wide range of repertoire from Austro-German to French to Italian opera; from classical opera to romantic Strauss operetta; from lieder to folk songs.
What this album does NOT include is Streich's Russian repertoire, some thing that, owing to her maternal descent, she was most adept at.
Unlike Schwarzkopf, Streich owned a voice that is out-right lyrical. It is even lighter, even more agile, even more silvery, though not as forceful as Schwarzkopf's on demand. Listen to her delightful "Bastien und Bastienne", her Mozart concert arias and enjoy her highly articulated, musically refined delivery. It is the exemplary Viennese singing. Her soubrettes as well as lyrical heroines are nothing short of being superb.
Not being as internationalised a singer as Schwarzkopf, Streich nonetheless was a representative figure of Viennese coloratura singing. Some times I would even feel that her coloratura is even more superior to that of the great dramatic coloratura of the 20th century, Joan Sutherland, again a very much more internationalised singer than Streich.
If you are undergoing voice training, this box set is essential.

The Real Men of Opera Strut Their Stuff.......2002-10-18
While the tenors and sporanos always seem to [obtain] the limelight, it's the sturdy Basses and Baritones that provide the foundation for most operas. Often relegated to what I call the "bads and dads" roles, the lower men serve to give both darkness and stability to the dramas. While most Bass and Baritone stars will never be as popular as a Domingo, Pavarotti, Sutherland or Calas, the gentlemen represented on this disk are some of the best voices in the business--period. There are some great recordings in this collection of some underheard arias (for instance check out, "O skali grozniye" from Rimsky-Korsakov's little heard opera, "Sadko". It is one of the most thrilling arias I have ever heard).
If you like opera or singing in general, this is a CD well worth your while to own. I would also recommend Volume 1, to complete the experience. Enjoy!

"One of the most beautiful voices I know." - Rudolf Bing........2001-07-24
In 1994 Teldec released a CD containing several of these recordings, made originally in Berlin between 1935 and 1940. It was decidedly short measure at 53 minutes, whereas this one is extremely generous. Of particular interest, amongst the Mozart items recorded with Dr Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt conducting, is a version of "Il mio tesoro" from "Don Giovanni", sung in German, in which Peter Anders not only sings the notorious seven-bar bridging phrase before the reprise in one breath but he also has enough breath to begin the reprise itself before inhaling. Surely a record of a record!
Of the many notable German tenors of the C20th, Peter Anders (1908-1954) had arguably the most naturally beautiful voice. Described as "the finest lyric tenor in the German tongue" by one authority, he was also described by Rudolf Bing, general manager of the New York Met, as the owner of "one of the most beautiful voices I know". Listen to his singing of "Im Mohrenland" from Mozart's "Die Entführung". Hear how German can sound even more beautiful in the throat of an exceptional singer than Italian does.
Anders' special timbre and clear enunciation were much admired by the young Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. The latter singer wrote in his autobiography of the occasion in the early 1950s when he received a congratulatory telephone call from Peter Anders, and instantly recognised the voice that was speaking to him. Sadly, it was soon after this that Peter Anders was killed in a car crash, speeding to meet the requirements of a busy music performing schedule.
This CD represents the best memento of Peter Anders currently on the market. The tracks date from the years when his voice was fluent, fresh, forward and most mellifluous. Some of the troubled, strained singing of his later years often produced aural discomfort, but everything here will delight you.
