Strauss J.: Die Fledermaus [Import]

Editorial Reviews
Album Details
Die Fledermaus is Today Regarded as the Supreme Epitome of Viennese Operetta and it Enjoys an International Popularity at Both Professional and Amateur Level. However, at the Time of Its Premiere in Vienna at the Theater an Der Wien on Five April 1874, While it was Well-received it Ran to Just Sixteen Performances. It Achieved Much Greater Success in Berlin, Hamburg and Paris Before it Returned to Vienna When it Did Achieve Great Success, a Success which Has Endured Ever Since. A Tradition Has also Grown Up around the Operetta — Especially in Vienna — of Performing the Work on New Year’s Eve with Guest Stars Appearing in Act 2.

5 out of 5 stars A great classic Strauss operetta preserved for the digital age........2007-05-24

The original vinyl discs of this landmark recording have been been transcribed to two CD's, with all the benefits of modern digital technology. The result is most pleasing, and I couldn't wait to upload it to my iPod so that I could listen to the operetta through my noise reduction headphones on my recent flight to Europe. The set is conveniently accompanied by an informative compact booklet which includes the text in the original German, and also English and French.

The cast of Schwarzkopf, Gedda, Streich, Krebs, Kunz and Christ, all operatic giants in their time, make this recording arguably the best ever.

Purists might quibble that the original vinyl discs have a somewhat "warmer" audio quality than the new digital version; having checked out my own vinyls and compared, I think this is perhaps a highly subjective thing, and owners of the CD's can rest assured that they will have a beautiful audio experience every time they listen to this ageless work.

5 out of 5 stars Come with me to a supper........2002-07-07

"Come with me to a supper."
So sings Dr Falke to his crony Eisenstein.
And what a supper it turns out to be! Besides the champagne, the dancing and the food provided at the villa of the world-weary young Prince Orlovsky, we see Eisenstein flirting with a masked "Hungarian lady" (Eisenstein's wife in disguise), Eisenstein's maid Adele (in a ball dress filched from her mistress's wardrobe) pretending to be an actress, and Dr Falke arranging a "pay back" for Eistenstein who had recently concocted a joke by which Dr Falke had been made to sneak home, after a fancy dress ball, through the city streets dressed as a bat.

Listening to the music that Johann Strauss Jnr provided for this "supper", it is hard to believe that "Die Fledermaus" was taken off after only 16 performances at its premiere Vienna season. Soon after, however, it was taken up elsewhere, notably in Hamburg where it was conducted by Mahler. Nowadays, it can be seen everywhere (often in up-dated productions), and music lovers can select from umpteen recorded versions.

This one has recently gravitated to the prestigious "Great Recordings of the Century" eminence. It is one of a classic series of recordings made in the mid 1950s by the producer Walter Legge. Featuring the orchestra he created (the Philharmonia), his wife Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and the conductor whose career he had thus far promoted (Herbert von Karajan), it still remains one of the best recommendations despite its limited monaural sound. There is verve and sparkle a-plenty, the casting is flawless, there is a strong sense of ensemble, and dialogue is included.

To balance all of this, it should be mentioned that the Act II ballet music Strauss provided has been omitted (the booklet accompanying my set states that that waltz "Kunstlerleben" is interpolated in its stead, but this is not so). As has sometimes happened, the part of Orlovsky, originally for mezzo soprano, is here sung by a baritone. And it is tenor Nicolai Gedda, as Eisenstein, who takes the lead in the Act II sextet "Bruderlein, Bruderlein und Schwesterlien, instead of baritone Erich Kunz as Dr Falke.

I hope there is enough here to help browsers make a choice. I should hate to be forced to choose only one recorded "Die Flederamaus", but this is certainly one that I would hate to be without. Duration: 110 minutes.

5 out of 5 stars Fledermaus With Style.......2001-10-24

Notwithstanding the extraordinary vocal talent that comprises this cast, Von Karajan has wed these glorious voices to the Waltz King's magnificent music and served up perhaps the finest recording of this Operetta ever made.

Schwarzkopf's Rosalinde is pure elegance. Her producer-husband Walter Legge along with Karajan saw operetta as serious business, which was frequently more difficult than opera, to perform well. This operetta is performed without schmalz, overstatement or freewheeling. The Conductor/Producer interpretation was strictly adhered to allowing only minimal performer rubato. The result was an undertstated and subtle rendering that dazzles the ear and touches the soul.

Schwartzkopf had done other operettas with Gedda, Streich and Kunz under the baton and genius of Otto Ackerman. This production exhibits great singers having a great time making music and enjoying one another's talent.

Finally the Philharmonia Orchestra (originally created by Legge)is an orchestra of the finest caliber. It never overshadows or overpowers the singers.

There are indeed other Fledermaus recordings that are superb; but this recording has a style and superiority that goes beyond excellent. It is a recording not to be missed.

4 out of 5 stars Karajan drives bat into wall.......2000-09-03

In this classic 1955 recording, some of the greatest vocal talent of the century is assembled. The women, especially Elizabeth Schwartzkopf, perform with a great sense of line and lyricism. However, the same privilege is denied most of the men, especially Nicolai Gedda. It is a wonder that in singing such a heavy role under Karajan's hyperlight baton, that a lyric tenor like Gedda didn't hack up his vocal cords like a hairball. Study of Gedda's technique presents an Eisenstein with a perfect balance between Scylla of speed and Charybdis of interpretation.

4 out of 5 stars What a treat!.......2000-08-22

I'm not an authority on Opera but I know what I like and this CD set is great! I bought this because the gentleman above me gave it such a good review. I agree with him and if you're looking for a recording of Fledermaus... this is the one to buy. Only drawback ... it's not in stereo, but it is a digital remaster of the recording from 1955 so what can you expect? It's great and you'll love it.

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf was certainly one of the greatest singers of her own, or indeed any other time. An obsessive perfectionist, her flawless technique and intonation over a huge range, vocal flexibility, breath control, phrasing, stylistic versatility, and above all her focused, radiantly beautiful sound were matchless and incomparable. All these are on full display on this generous 2-CD set, which features over a dozen arias, songs by Schubert, Wolf and Richard Strauss, and some lighter fare. The recordings were made between 1950 and 1967, and the singing becomes better and better, the voice richer and more varied, the expression deeper and more immediate. Not surprisingly, the peaks come in the arias from her signature roles in Mozart's Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi fan tutte; Richard Strauss' Ariadne, Rosenkavalier, and Arabella, which rise to real ecstasy; and arias from Weber's Freischütz and Smetana's Bartered Bride, which are wonderfully intimate and touching. She is less convincing in roles she never sang on stage, and the "childish" voice she cultivated especially for Hänsel and Gretel is unnatural and contrived. The same is true of the last two "popular" numbers, which sound condescending and artificial. The songs, however, have all her customary finesse and inwardness; the Wolf group, perhaps chosen for its gentle humor, is charming, while Strauss' "Four Last Songs" (represented by two) shimmer and soar. Schwarzkopf's singing had instantly recognizable characteristics: a tendency to hold back both vocally and emotionally, giving a sense of noble restraint, but also of cool detachment; excessive use of color and nuance, creating a fussy, calculated and somewhat artificial air. Only rarely does she "let go" with full voice and spontaneous feeling. However, as these recordings show, she invariably inspires admiration and captures ear and heart through the inimitable, glorious beauty of her voice. --Edith Eisler

4 out of 5 stars Fine anthology but still prefer her "Four Last Songs" recording.......2006-11-06

The engineering and audio quality of these 1960's performances are surprisingly good. The songs are wonderfully peformed and cover a range of periods and styles, but I find myself returning to her recording (also re-released on CD) of Strauss' "Four Last Songs", which I would give 6 stars -- my favorite recording of all time.

4 out of 5 stars RIP DAME ELIZABETH (1915-2006).......2006-08-04

This set is a fine tribute to this extraordinary singer and musician. I was saddened to read about her passing. She had a long life (90 years) and inspired a whole generation of singers and music lovers throughout the world.

5 out of 5 stars SCHWARZKOPF ----- ONE OF THE GREATS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.......2006-01-29

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf's career is what legends are made of. She is every bit as fundamental to classical singing in the twentieth century as is Maria Callas. Schwarzkopf sang with refinement, polish, beauty of voice, and meticulous articulation. She was the greatest Mozart and Strauss soprano of her day; her ability to sing the operetta music of Lehar, Suppe', and Johann Strauss has not been equalled; she performed with distinction orchestral compositions of Mahler, Brahms, Bach, and Handel; her Schubert, Schumann, Wolf, and Mahler lieder were exemplary. She sang many operatic roles, far more than many people realize, and was certainly the definitive Marshallin in "Rosenkavalier" throughout the 1950's and 1960'. I saw her many times in recital in Chicago, and even at the time of her farewell (which I was fortunate enough to see), she was sublime. All of the superlative qualities of Schwarzkopf are generously demonstrated throughout these two wonder CD's. Virtually every item is magnificent (though obviously some will prefer some to others) and has the detailed Schwarzkopf imprint stamped right into the music. This CD, great as it is, represents only a very small part of the greatness of Schwarzkopf. I already own tons of her operas and recitals, from which many of the items here come from. But for the sake of completeness, I will probably add it. A person who loves great singing can never have too much of the art of Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. She's a vocal icon.

5 out of 5 stars ¡PERFECT!.......2005-02-10

I only want to say that you can hear, in this double cd, one of the great singers of all time. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Why? Because she sings all the arias and lieder with pure of tone, brilliance, perfect inflexion, modulation, excellent control breath, measured vibrato, and, all above, great emision of colours. She is master in this art.

5 out of 5 stars PERFECTA INTERPRETACIÓN.......2005-02-09

La mejor recopilación de la discografía de Elisabeth Schwarzkopf. Su belleza de voz, la impecable hilación de frases, y, sobre todo, su expresiva interpretación son algunas de las sorpresas que se podrán escuchar en estos dos discos. Sin duda, UNA DE LAS MEJORES SOPRANOS DEL SIGLO XX.

Excellent choices for drunken idiots to sing to. Get some culture while you get smashed!

4 out of 5 stars Gift Idea.......2007-01-17

This was a gift for a man in my life who is a beer conosouir and fluent in German. I fell in love with the cover art because it was so humourous. According to him, the music is also fun and entertaining. This could make an excellent unique gift for someone, even as a joke.

5 out of 5 stars Ms. Battle does it again.......2006-03-29

Ms. Battle covers musical styles from baroque all the way to spirituals on this CD, and excels at each song she sings. My personal fav's are "Frondi tenere...ombra mai fu" "Mein herr marquis" "Vocalise" "Swing Low" "Piangero la sorte mia". One impression I get when I hear this CD, is that Ms. Battle had fun with each one of these songs. She sounds like she is enjoying singing them and is totally relaxed with full confidence in her voice. So many singers you hear sound tense, but not here. It's hard to explain really, but generally, when a singer is struggling and fighting to sustain a good sound or sing artistically, you can sense it. This CD is would make a wonderful sampler for someone new to Ms. Battle's voice. It is a shame, though, that she is such a "diva". Nevertheless, this is a delightful recording and I would strongly recommend it.

3 out of 5 stars A charming, lightweight song recital.......2005-09-18

This recital is a pale shadow of the great one Battle gave with Levine from Salzburg, so I wasn't satisfied with one track after another of pretty, charming singing without deep musicality or committment. battle is capable of much beter. Her fans will be pleased, and that's about all.

5 out of 5 stars Kathleen Battle Takes On Carnegie Hall.......2005-04-04

Every big artist wants to perform at Carnegie Hall, its' a sign of a true career. For Kathleen Battle, this must have been quite a night. This album captures that great night, solely built around her, in which she sang aria after aria in a spectacular showcase. Handel was a specialty of hers, and the lyric texture and coloratura heights are nearly dizzying. She makes it all seem so effortless. Furthermore, Miss Battle was a magnificent French singer- most coloratura sopranos excell in the French repertoire- as Beverly Sills did and as did Madie Mesple. However, Battle always makes me feel mixed emotions. One the one hand, she does have a classic, lyric-coloratura voice that nearly became extinct after the reign of Beverly Sills and even earlier with the likes of Lily Pons and Amellita-Galli-Curci. Battle has a bright, golden voice, capable of sweetness and refinement without hysterical declamation or any unpleasant sounds. It's such a shame she did not behave proffessionally. The stories were true. She behaved like a diva holding a whip! She was ungrateful and selfish and couldn't work well with her colleagues and co-artists. She was always late to rehearsals, left early, refused to socialize or ride in the same car with her other artists and went far beyond perfectionism- she behaved like she was the greatest thing since sliced bread. But for all these shortcomings, we love her voice. Her fans, and yes she has fans, continue to buy her albums even though she has long disappeared from the world of opera that once tolerated her but said enough is enough........

5 out of 5 stars I'd give this CD 20 stars if I could! Sheer perfection!.......2003-12-07

God made the nightingale, and somewhere down the line, he touched a little girl named Kathleen Battle with what he originally gave to that bird from the beginning of creation. I cannot, for the life of me, believe that a voice could be so beautiful. I hear it, I marvel, but sometimes the sheer incredible beauty of this woman's vocal artistry is mind altering and surreal. Even the nightingale must suffer a moment of jealousy when a Kathy Battle tune is played!(This is bordering on blasphemous I know, and I beg forgiveness!) But Kathy Battle is simply amazing! This CD captures her at her best.
I'm not an opera buff by any means, but I love the human voice and great singing. There is not a bad song in the bunch. Like one reviewer, I too, am not a big fan of the spirituals segment, but I have a higher tolerance for it than she..I can still enjoy them for what they're worth.

Just BUY this CD...buy more than one if you can. One for home and one for your car. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.

P.S. Can someone tell me if this Carnegie Hall recital was also filmed and where I can get a copy of it? I cannot find many filmed recitals of Kathleen Battle anywhere. There used to be many at the Metropolitan Library in NYC, but all they seem to have now are her appearances in operas. I remember seeing a Met recital of her in a red gown on the cover of the vhs box, but they must have retired it. Any Kathy Battle fans out there who can help me get a video collection going, I would be most appreciated! (ryanmarcus1@juno.com)

5 out of 5 stars A top notch Fledermaus from Kleiber's golden years as a conductor.......2005-10-22

Recorded in 1975, this recording of Johann Strauss's most famous comic opera, "Die Fledermaus", is top notch, from Carlos Kleiber's golden years as a conductor. Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004) made few studio recordings, so this is very important. But he did have favorite works he recorded in the studio: this "Die Fledermaus", Weber's "Die Freischutz" (1973), Verdi's "La Traviata" (1976), and Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" (1981), all for Deutsche Grammophon. Kleiber has a superb cast, with Hermann Prey, Julia Varady, and Bernd Weikl in the leading roles. Kleiber favors fast tempos, keeping the flow and motion of the opera moving along, but he knows where to take time when there is a tempo change or for a slower tempo aria.

The sound is very clear, but the bass sounds a little weak, often typical with DG recordings, so a loudness boost may be necessary on some systems. There is spoken dialogue aplenty between numbers, but it is never too much, nor does the overall architecture of the opera sag under it's own weight, often a danger in singspiel operas, where there is alot of spoken dialogue.

I also reviewed Kleiber's DVD "Fledermaus", from 1987 (DG DVD) and this recording has much in common with the later live production with the same orchestra: Bavarian State Opera, but mostly different soloists. I personally prefer Hermann Prey as Eisenstein to Eberhard Waechter; Prey's voice seems more mellow, and he sounds more musical to me than Waechter. However, a direct comparison is hard because this is a STUDIO recording, and the DVD is LIVE.

Whichever Kleiber "Fledermaus" you purchase, you can't go wrong. It all boils down to personal preferences, and if you want an audio (this recording) or DVD format for Strauss's great comic opera.

5 out of 5 stars A true landmark.......2005-06-17

I dare to think this is not only one of the finnest recordings on the operatic world, but the best operetta ever recorded. Carlos Kleiber conducts with spirit, joy and brain the most accurate ensemble of voices and (yes, specially) characters singing and acting superbly Strauss'masterpiece.
Pure and absolute pleasure! Really a must.

5 out of 5 stars An amendment..........2000-12-30

When I last wrote, I compared 3 versions of this beloved opera: the Schwarzkopf version, Te Kanawa version, and this one. Just released is Sutherland's version, with her singing the role of Rosalinde. It's safe to say without hearing the recording that Sutherland was never really great with German (it requires impeccable diction, and everyone who knows of Dame Joan and dislikes her for her diction would be wise to stay away from this recording... Sorry for putting you down Sutherland, but I had to admit to your faults), and her voice is really not suited for Strauss repertoire, nor for the Viennese acting required. The site doesn't tell who the other performers are, but with so many other versions out there (if you go into the german version of Amazon, you'll find loads of Die Fledermaus's, though the singers tend not to be well known) who needs to settle on one set since it just has Dame Joan?

As a further amendment, I didn't talk enough about how great Varady is in the aforementioned role of Rosalinde. She introduced me to another beautiful voice! Hers is very womanly sounding, and quite pure, but has just enough weight to carry off the role to perfection. I can assure you that Sutherland would not come close to this "Klange der Heimat." And to touch some more on Iwan Rebroff, his voice sort of does take getting used to, especially when you're used to a mezzo singing it. I have to say though, it's still sung well, and is quite silly.

Thanks for letting me put in a few more words!

5 out of 5 stars No, there is no better Fledermaus around.......2000-10-16

Carlos Kleiber can be a very difficult man on the podium, but here he is in high spirits and conducts a masterful performance. It's both fiery and fun, but never hard driven. He is lucky to have 2 glorious sopranos in Julia Varady and Lucia Popp who are peerless as Rosalinde and Adele. Varady in particular gives a ravishing performance with commanding vocal security, no other soprano even comes close, not Schwarzkopf, not Gueden and certainly not Te Kanawa. I guess Iwan Rebroff is an acquired taste, personally, I think he is fun and does a very good job. The Munich orchestra is excellent and so is the sound. The Karajan/Decca set with the famous gala is pleasing too, but after listening to this set for 20 years, it is my favourite.

4 out of 5 stars Not a safe choice, but a must for Kleiber admirers.......2000-09-27

The most important aspect of this recording is Kleiber's conducting. His records are so few (three other operas and about a half-dozen symphonic recordings) that even if this set was seriously flawed, it could not be ignored. Fortunately, his conducting mostly captures the spirit of the score, even if there is an emphasis on discipline here that is not apparent in other, Vienna-based recordings of this opera (this set was recorded in Munich, in the legendary Herkules-Saal of the Residenz palace). With one major exception, the cast could hardly be bettered. In particular, the scandalously underrated Julia Varady is outstanding as Rosalinde - and how nice to have a native Hungarian singing the czardas solo in Act II! Similarly, the late Lucia Popp is an inspired choice as Adele. The male lineup (Rene Kollo, Hermann Prey, and Bernd Weikl) is also quite good. The big shortcoming is the casting of the falsetto Iwan Rebroff as Prince Orlofsky. Those coming to this opera anew will probably find his performance amusing, but those who have heard Brigitte Fassbaender on either the Previn or the Boskovsky sets can attest to how much better it is to have a firm mezzo-soprano in this role. The remastered recording is full and well-balanced. Unlike many Deutsche Grammophon recordings of German opera from the 1970s, the star singers, and not actors, are used to speak the dialogue. The set includes two booklets fit into a standard double jewel box. The summary and libretto (with translation) are beyond reproach; unfortunately, as with many reissues in the DG Originals series, the essay concentrates on the performer at the expense of a discussion of the work itself. The mid-price is a big advantage of this set. Choice here lies largely between this recording, Previn, and Boskovsky.
