Wagner's Der Fliegende Hollander/Complete Opera

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Daniel Barenboim's Wagner opera series for Teldec has been uneven, and so is this Dutchman. The big plus here is Falk Struckmann's assumption of the title role. He sings with a rich, firm baritone and invests his part with emotion. This is a character whose feelings and thoughts are made evident from singing without indulging in emphatic stresses and bumps that get in the way of the music. Peter Seiffert's ardent Erik also works well. He has the right voice type and sings with feeling. Robert Holl's Daland, though, is undercharacterized and lacks the low notes the role requires. There's little feeling in his singing of the greed that drives poor Senta's money-grubbing father. Following her recent Tannhäuser in the Barenboim series, Jane Eaglen's Senta disappoints. Today's leading Isolde is off her form; high notes are thinned out, and there's little bloom in the voice. The girl's innocence and obsessiveness just don't come through. Barenboim's leadership is suspect in the lurching between a Wagnerian equivalent of oompah music and quicker-tempo excitement. But since there really is no perfect choice for this opera (though the Otto Klemperer from 1968 has more virtues than most), many will find this version, flaws and all, worthy of consideration. --Dan Davis

        Daniel Barenboim's Wagner opera series for Teldec has been uneven, and so is this Dutchman. The big plus here is Falk Struckmann's assumption of the title role. He sings with a rich, firm baritone and invests his part with emotion. This is a character whose feelings and thoughts are made evident from singing without indulging in emphatic stresses and bumps that get in the way of the music. Peter Seiffert's ardent Erik also works well. He has the right voice type and sings with feeling. Robert Holl's Daland, though, is undercharacterized and lacks the low notes the role requires. There's little feeling in his singing of the greed that drives poor Senta's money-grubbing father. Following her recent Tannhäuser in the Barenboim series, Jane Eaglen's Senta disappoints. Today's leading Isolde is off her form; high notes are thinned out, and there's little bloom in the voice. The girl's innocence and obsessiveness just don't come through.

        Recently, I had a chance to hear Barenboim's "Fliegende Hollander". I was utterly disappointed. The orchestra & choir were good and the conducting was spot on, but the vocal cast is devastatingly flawed. Jane Eaglen sounds too heavy as Senta, and Felicity Palmer didn't sound too great as Mary, Senta's nurse. Falk Struckmann as the Dutchman tries very hard, but fails when he's supposed to be lyrical during his arias. I was, however, impressed by the singings of Holl and Sieffert.

        In conclusion, I think you should avoid this rendition of Wagner's first successful opera. And avoid James Levine's rendition, too. Go for the Sinopoli, Solti, or Klemperer recordings.

        2 out of 5 stars Disappoints.......2003-10-06

        After hearing Barenboim's marvelous recording of Tannhauser, I decided to get this Flying Dutchman. It is a great disappointment. I am no expert on opera and am not able to write with sufficient clarity on all the deficiencies, but one thing really stood out: Jane Eaglen's Senta. The quality of her voice really does not suit the youthful Senta. On the hight notes she sounds more like screeching rather than singing. I don't understand how someone who sounds just fine and even great on Tannhauser can sound so horrible here.

        2 out of 5 stars Let down by the casting.......2002-11-20

        This new release of Wagner's early success is sorely let down by some of the singers. Jane Eaglen is extremely disappointing as Senta. She sings with little or no imagination (fatal for the role of Senta). She is often unsteady and tentative in her high register while her lowest notes lack resonance. Struckmann is a smooth-sounding but too weakly characterised Dutchman. Holl lacks to strength of tone of Daland and Seiffert is just a mediocre Erik.

        Barenboim and the orchestra, on the other hand, give a masterful performance. Indeed, I have nothing to complain about the orchestral playing as well as the interpretation, which are extremely fine. But it's so unfortunate that the recording company has failed to find more suitable singers to match such a fine achievement.

        A great pity indeed.

            Born in 1869, Renaud inherited the mantle of French baritone actor/singers Jean Lassalle and Victor Maurel. He deploys his ample resources with supple restraint and tonal eloquence. Note values are often stretched beyond anything we hear today. One will scarcely recognize Mozart's Don Giovanni Serenade (in French and Italian), for instance, but the traditional ornaments are in place. Perhaps "Pour tant d'amour" and "Leonor, viens" from Donizetti's La Favorite are a tad garish, yet Renaud's ardent approach suits Massenet's Vision Fugitive to a tee, in three different versions. Conversely, the singer's attention to details of rhythm and phrasing in Berlioz's Serenade never detract from the purity of tone. Thorough annotations and splendid transfers add up to a desirable, though specialized, reissue. --Jed Distler
