Label: EMI CLASSICS Catalog: 407882B Format: CD Theo Adam (Hans Sachs), Sir Geraint Evans (Beckmesser), Rene Kollo (Walther), Helen Donath (Eva), Peter Schreier (David), Karl Ridderbusch (Pogner), Ruth Hesse (Magdalene), Kurt Moll (Nightwatchman), Zoltán Kelemen (Kothner) Staatskapelle Dresden, Herbert von Karajan“Karajan is at his most winning, drawing sound of magnificent warmth from the Dresden Staatskapelle and coaxing superlative results from his cast. The youthful innocence of Donath's Eva is very touching and Ridderbusch's Pogner is most eloquently sung...the recorded sound [is] outstanding in terms of clarity, realism and a warmth that matches this enormously affectionate performance.” - International Record Review, January 2011 Price: $58.98 |
