3 out of 5 stars An inadequate work given with great conviction.......2007-01-07

The review below is civilized and tolerant almost to a fault. I, too, anticipated something rare and fascinating from Pfitzner's masterpiece, which has a strong stage history in Germany but almost zero in the U.S. But in my case the expectations weren't fulfilled--this is ultra-conservative music that shows not the slightest influence of the twentieth centruy. The idiom resembles seamless, uninspired movie music, assuming the movie in question has almost no action and endless duets and monologues on arcane subjects of interest only to Jesuits and historicans of the Vatican's dicta on church music.

That said, the performance is a knockout. This could well be Fischer-Dieskau's most impressive opera portrayal (he had a habit of excelling in oddball operas--see Mathis der Maler); Gedda, fasbaender, and the rest of the cast sing with equal conviction. Kubelik is close to an ideal conductor. And yet there really is no drama here for the listener who can't see the stage. Maybe that's the secret of Palestrina--it needs a stage production to capture the eye. That's true of Die Frau ohne Schatten, Die Tote Stadt, and other operas that are congested and over-composed--they must come alive visually to reveal their potential.

5 out of 5 stars Underrated opera: great performance.......2005-08-17

Palestrina was an opera that fascinated me long before I heard it. From all I'd read, it seemed to be one of a select group of operas, dealing with the actual process of artistic creation (Benvenuto Cellini, Die Meistersinger, Mathis der Mahler, Death in Venice to name but a few). Someone, after a performance of Parsifal in Bayreuth, once also described it to me as 'Parsifal without the jokes' - a phrase attributed to several pieces and not true in this case as there are quite a lot of jokes, albeit German jokes, in Act 2. The music, I was told, purported to be post-Wagnerian conservative but well made. The Preludes to all three acts I heard fairly early on and they whetted my appetite even more - Parsifalian simplicity in the first, thrilling energy in the second and sublime resignation in the third.

Then this Kubelik recording came along and I found all my hopes and expectations matched or bettered. Yes, it is dramatically flawed - the scene between Borromeo and Palestrina in the First Act is too long and Act 2 is dramatically very far removed from the two outer acts, brimming over with characters none of whom, apart from a brief appearance by Borromeo, appear in the other two acts. Act 3 is proportionally very short. Nevertheless, it does hang together in its own way (witness the Covent Garden production of a few years ago). And musically it is a profound experience.

Pfitzner was not necessarily a very likeable man: his politics came a lot closer to the Nazis than either Richard Strauss's or Furtwangler's, for example - probably closer to Karajan's. And his music was also pretty conservative (with a small 'c') - not so far from Strauss, closer still to Reger though much more interesting. Indeed he felt himself on something of a mission to preserve the Great Tradition of High German Art - Sachs's Heil'ge Deutsches Kunst if you like. But within the confines that he set himself, he wrote some really wonderful stuff. Late Romantic harmonies (nothing too frightening) with some superb melodic invention gives you an idea of the style. The whole sequence in which Palestrina writes his great polyphony-saving Mass, inspired by visions of his dead wife and angels (yes, I know it sounds mawkish, but it works) is superb. Pfitzner handles a huge cast of soloists in Act 2 with superb dexterity and energy as discussions descend to rows to battles and finally to a riot that is ruthlessly put down. The very end of the opera is inspired. Left alone in his moment of triumph by Pope and Cardinal, son and pupil and by the cheering crowds in the street, the old composer's hands begin to improvise on the keyboard of his organ - fade to silence and to black. This is great opera and deserves to be better known.

And, in this recording, all the performers play it as if they believe exactly that. The supremely versatile Gedda sings the title-role with all the fervour, the passion and ultimately the resignation that it demands. The other substantial part, Cardinal Borromeo, is taken by the ubiquitous Fischer-Dieskau and he gives one of his great performances; obstinate, angry, dangerous, sympathetic by turns as the score and the text demand. That long solo in Act 1 that can easily outstay its welcome: here it is completely involving and dramatic. The numerous clergy and politicians at the Council of Trent in Act 2 are cast with real strength throughout. And Kubelik's conducting is masterful, allowing the score to breathe and take its time without ever getting stagnant and giving real drive and energy to the more urgent pages.

If you have anything of a taste for German romantic opera, if you enjoy Strauss's operas for example, I do urge you to try Pfitzner's masterpiece.

      5 out of 5 stars 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.

        5 out of 5 stars Amazing and Triumphant!.......2003-03-15

        This rendition of of "Palestrina" is absolutly wonderful. Don't be confused, this is an opera of the life of the composer Palestrina, not a work actually produced by him. Peter Schreier is a fabulous Palestrina. This piece's tempo keeps moving, but does not push. The music in the sene with the ghosts of the past composers is superbly sung and played. The sene where the patriarchs, archbishops, and cardinals debate Palestrina's new Mass is full of power and passion. The singers even in the minor roles execute their performances beautifully. The sene where the Pope gives his benediction to Palestrina (Schreier) is moving and paternal. I would recommend this version to anyone interested in great music and the life of the composer Palestrina. Hans Hotter out did himself.

              Near the end of his life, the great German conductor Eugen Jochum saw off a visitor to his Munich home with the rather unexpected admonition, "Don't forget Pfitzner and Reger!" Well, Reger has had it pretty good on recordings since then, while Pfitzner has been ignored, if not forgotten, until recently. Enter Christian Thielemann, a conductor who has clearly mastered the grand manner and who possesses an undeniable affinity with the music. Leading the orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, whose music director he became in 1997, he makes a welcome contribution to the Pfitzner discography in this, his debut recording for DG. Thielemann's accounts of the preludes to Acts I, II, and III of Palestrina, and of orchestral excerpts from other operas by Pfitzner and Strauss, are full of conviction and refreshingly old-fashioned in their lyric intensity and sweep. Especially lovely: the playing Thielemann elicits in Strauss's unabashedly Parsifalian prelude to Guntram, a work that failed at its premiere, but of which the composer was so fond he quoted some of its music in Ein Heldenleben. --Ted Libbey

              3 out of 5 stars A schoolmaster's idea of romance.......2006-01-02

              Thielemann captures Pfitzner's characteristic warm-bath style very well, but this is still romanticism as seen by a schoolmaster. All three preludes to Palestrina are dreamily diffuse, as if the idea of writing Parsifal came to mind and that was enough. The long overture Katchen von Heilbronn is also weak tea, although it manages to work up a mdicum of discreet passion. If you find Busoni, Schmidt, and Reger too hot-blooded, I guess Pfitzner is your man.

              The second half of the CD is devoted to out-of-the-way excerpts from Strauss operas. As with the Pfitzner selections, the attraction here comes mostly from Thielemann's way with his orcehstra--he makes the Deutsche Oper ensemble sound glowing and relaxed. Personally, I like a lot more bite, but Strauss was floating along in the Prelude to his early opera Guntram, and the prelude to Capriccio is hardly bracing, either. The Love Scene from Feuerssnot is like to be the only music most of us will ever hear form that work, and it actually ends on a forte--how shocking.

              This whole 75 min. CD is devoid of spine, but that's the nature of a certain strain of last-minute German romanticism. All in all, this is the perfect recording to listen to while eating marzipan or if you need a birthday present for some jellyfish.

              5 out of 5 stars Magnificent Performances of Pfitzner's and Strauss' music.......2001-09-06

              Along with his recent recording of Wagner's music with the Philadelphia Orchestra, this recording of Pfitzner's and Strauss' scores may be Thielemann's finest to date. Most noteworthy is the ebullient warm performance of Pfitzner's Palestrina from the Deutsche Oper orchestra, but I also enjoyed hearing two of Richard Strauss' lesser known works. I wholeheartedly recommend this CD as a splendid introduction to Pfitzner's music.

              5 out of 5 stars A Treasury of Late Romanticism.......2001-08-10

              All of the works on this CD beautifully evoke a lost world of idealism, heroism, chivalry, and courtly love. This disc has been a constant companion for nearly five years now. I have given at least five copies as gifts. I bought it because I am a Richard Strauss fanatic, and recordings of the orchestral passages of his first two operas, GUNTRAM and FEUERSNOT, are very rare. Thielemann's performances of the Strauss selections are superb. But I seldom listen to them, because this CD was my introduction to the works of Hans Pfitzner and I find myself simply listening to the Pfitzner selections over and over again. The CD begins with the Preludes to the three acts of his operatic masterpiece PALESTRINA. They are obviously indebted to Wagner's PARSIFAL. These works ache with desire, not for the sensuous, but for the noble, the etherial, the transcendent. The Prelude to the second act is particularly riveting and sublime. The other two pieces--the love theme from the opera DAS HERZ and the overture to DAS KAETCHEN VON HEILBRONN--evoke more sensuous but no less noble longings. The performances and recording are magnificent in every way. Every romantic will fall in love with this CD.
