      Amazon.com essential recording

      No single performance will ever tell us everything we need to know about a masterpiece like the Beethoven Ninth, but this one comes close. The inspired intensity of everyone involved--at the postwar reopening of the Bayreuth Festival in 1951--comes across very vividly in this new transfer. Just hear the way Furtwángler evokes the atmosphere of chaos coalescing into order at the opening of the first movement and you can tell a superior musical and spiritual consciousness is at work. Except for the poor first horn, whose bloopers are the main detriment, the orchestra, soloists, and chorus (recorded clearly but at a heavenly distance) all hold up their parts extremely well. The solo singers are particularly convincing. This is a very special recording, recognized as a classic when it was first issued and still indispensable. --Leslie Gerber

        Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau has become an all-pervasive and increasingly mannered recording presence in the last few decades of his life. As a result, it takes an earlier, fresher recording such as this to remind you what a great singer he was. This 1961 outing with Schubert's second-greatest song cycle (the first being Winterreise) is consistently lively, straightforward, passionate, and sincere, almost completely devoid of the show-off trickery that mars many of his later efforts. Best of all, the voice has a supple richness that allows him to sound boyish at the start of this song cycle about a heartbroken youth, though he also has a vocal weight to go to the depths of tragedy as the protagonist experiences escalating devastation. Gerald Moore accompanies with his customary discreet intelligence. This recording has achieved classic status for good reason. --David Patrick Stearns

            In 1932, Menuhin was just 16 and at the very beginning of his international career when Elgar--then a grand old man in his 70s--asked the young virtuoso to record his Violin Concerto. Elgar himself conducted, and the rehearsals went so well that the composer reportedly canceled the last of them and took the young violinist out for a day at the races. The recording that resulted from this remarkable collaboration has remained a classic from the day it was issued. Elgar's conducting is typically direct and unfussy, while Menuhin really does play the pants off of what is without a doubt the longest and most tiring concerto in the romantic repertoire. Of course, the recorded sound is rather limited and no amount of audio restoration can change that, but fans of great violin playing will still find plenty to enthuse about. --David Hurwitz

            3 out of 5 stars Historical Document.......2007-01-12

            Before you buy this, be sure that you realize that this recording is absolutely ancient. When I say ancient I mean late 20s and early 30s. There are many advantages to having this recording, the most notable of which is that Sir Elgar himself directs the orchestra. There's something magical about hearing a piece conducted by the composer. The only drawback is that the recording is from the 20s and 30s. Therefore, the recording is not very high quality and some of the nuances of the music can get lost. If you're looking for historical documentation, this recording is elsewhere. Otherwise, it will behoove you to find a more modern recording if you simply want to enjoy the music.

            4 out of 5 stars Stunning.......2002-07-12

            The solo playing has so much depth to it, I really can't believe it's a sixteen year old playing. If there's a romantic concerto in the repertoire that could really be mishandled by a young player, it would be this one - but somehow Menuhin, even at that age, has managed to express the poignancy and nostalgia of the music better than anyone ever has. Of course, the disc is not without flaws. As has been noted, you can hear the squeaking and junk from the transfer, and there are some absolutely horrendous errors in ensemble between soloist and orchestra. I've heard one of Kennedy's recordings and also Perlman's. For the most part, Perlman generally doesn't get a character that I really like, and the slow tempo in Kennedy's last movement kind of bothers me. I've also heard Shaham do this concerto live on radio with Cleveland Orchestra I believe, and it was really great. Someone should convince him to commit it to CD.

            5 out of 5 stars Simply Menuhin.......2002-06-29

            I heard twice in my life this concert, I liked so much, specially because has serenity and peace. This Menuhin version conducted by Edward Elgar, is simply pure. I heard the last records of Menuhin, but I never heard him in his first years, simply I don't cry because ...you know, but in some cirscustance of my life if I would heard the Munuhin Solo, simply I could not resist,his natural sound, his phrasing, the solo in the third movement has a sense of nostalgy, with a beautiful vibrato, sorry for the others big masters, but this "carisma" only Sir Yehudi Menuhi. He really was a natural prodigy with a big carisma, if you don't believe me heard him. If not buy the DVD about him, and pay attention to the solo, while he stay with his "Mamina". Buy it you really enjoy. And my respects to Yehudi Menihin, a wonderful violinist of the 20th century.

            If you do not have the Elgar concerto already, do not make this your one and only choice. This is not for the casual listener who wants to sit back and enjoy a great violin concerto. If you want to do that, choose Kennedy/Rattle/CBSO on EMI which is simply fantastic. If you do decide to choose this historical document for your second or third recording of this piece for novelty and comparison, choose the Naxos label. They have the same recording for half the price so you won't be as upset just in case you can't stand the sound. Part of the notes for my Naxos copy states. " The present transfers were made from pre-war U.S. Victor sets, (the Elgar from a "Z" shellac pressing). The squeaking noises which can be heard on some portions of the Elgar are on the original masters." They are not kidding, you hear alot of junk in this recording and it is not for the sensitive listener. While Naxos does not sell direct, you may visit naxos.com for more information. From naxos.com - "How can Naxos Historical release recordings made by other record companies? Is this piracy? Internationally, sound recordings are protected for 50 years from the date of publication (worldwide, except in the USA). That means, any recording published or released to the public before 1950 is now out of copyright, i.e. in the public domain. Broadcasts are considered published the day they are re-broadcast. In the United States, the situation is more complicated. There, sound recordings were not protected by copyright until 1972, but by a variety of state laws, including the rights of the artist's personality, unfair competition, and the like. There is nothing illegitimate in releasing out-of-copyright sound recordings the same way it is not illegitimate to release Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Mahler without paying mechanical copyright (a fee to the composer or his publisher for the use of the printed music) to their descendants or manufacturing a drug whose patent has expired.

            5 out of 5 stars Exceptional historical document.......1999-06-14

            The Violin Concerto, with the Elgar/Mehuhin partnership in 1932, must be heard to be believed. The interpretation is without peer, and the playing by Menuhin is outstanding. The sound quality of the concerto rivals many digital recordings. A must have for all Elgar fans!!!!

            The 'Enigma' Variations will suprise you with their tempo. The sound quality (from 1926) is less impressive than the concerto, but still good. A great pairing for an exceptional CD.

            The recording is exactly what you would expect from an all-star cast.

            Owners of the Schirmer piano score, watch out for cuts from page 44 to 48, 76 to 80, and 106 to 107. The endings of bth acts are also different.

            5 out of 5 stars Portrait of an Artist.......2005-05-16

            No other role is more associated with Maria Callas than the role of the Druid priestess Norma. Throughout her career, what survived out of the ninety Normas that she sang showed a growth in Maria as an artist and as a vivid painter of this extremely complex role. An excerpt of her 1949 Norma from Buenos Aires shows a warrior priestess who is in complete control of her vocal resources. In that recording (Divina Records 12), Callas is in splendid vocal form, giving one of her most vocally delectable interpretations of Casta Diva. Already in 1949, we see an artist who understood the part, but still didn't offer us a feminine side to it. During that same year, a Cetra recording with the Casta Diva...Ah Bello a me ritorna excerpt was released, also finding her in splendid vocal form (akin to Ponselle's Casta Diva, only better in coloratura facilities). It was an amazing document of the young Callas' career, and I'd recommend it to anyone who would like to discover Callas' voice. A year later, we have her Norma in Mexico, and we find a more warrior-like approach to the music, but nonetheless it gave an amazing effect to the fury duets in the second act. Two years later, in London, we find Callas giving us more of the woman along with a Stignani who was in splendid vocal form. Then the Trieste excerpts (also by Divina) shows another side of Callas in which we see her development as an artist. This is very much like the Sunflowers of Vincent Van Gogh, where each successing Sunflower painting shows a more intimate and personal side of poor Vincent. The next Norma document we have of Callas is this studio recording. Once again, Serafin and Callas collaborate in this recording, and oh what a recording it was! Callas, of course, is the biggest star in this Norma, but other singers like Stignani and Rossi-Lemeni make an impact on it as well. Although Stignani well into her years (as was her voice), her great dramatic mezzo soprano timbre was amazingly so, an instrument of that served the role well. After all, she had sung the role with Gina Cigna. Stignani may have sounded matrimonly enough to be Norma, but her Adalgisa was in every respect grande and complete. It may not have Ludwig's amazing and youthful insight into the role, but what a force of nature her voice was! Rossi-Lemeni is also another dramatic force to reckon with, and he is an Oroveso I would treasure the more I listen to him. Mario Filipesschi though, is lousy. He was vocally able, but his interpretation was lacking and he sounded boring. Callas though, is beautiful sounding in this recording. She was a complete Norma vocally and dramatically, and every excerpt that showcases her abilities as a singer is simply exquisite. She was also slimmer when this recording was made, so there was a certain sensitivity to her voice when she sang this Norma. And then there is Serafin. No other conductor has approached the genius of this man. His perfect use of the bel canto tempo gives it a dimension that no other maestro would touch, and this is the reason why I would recommend this recording. Other great Normas would follow, but this was the recording that would put Callas' stamp on the role forever.

            5 out of 5 stars This reissue is great.......2005-04-11

            I don't have to elaborate the good things about this recording most what I have to say has been said by previous reviewers. Please read the reviews especially in the original cover edition. What I would like to say that this reissue is a cheaper version than the original black cover without compromising quality and cover. So for those who have not purchased this great recording (best Norma Studio recording ever) This is you chance to get this. In its label it says "The Great Recordings of the Century" I could never disagree with that.

            4 out of 5 stars Wondrous recording.......2005-03-31

            This is one of a number of recordings I have with Callas, including one where Joan Sutherland plays Clotilde (this is a live recording and the sound is not great, but the performance simply sizzles and again Stignani is the Adalgisa). However, to this recording. At first I was not impressed with it like I felt I would be. Of course, Callas didn't disappoint at all, but the rest of the cast sort of bothered me. Norma's father was sung in a way with virtually no legato at all and sort of shoved out note by note. There was no characterization to speak of, but the voice was full (perhaps recorded very closely miked and forward). Pollione really sort of bothered me, as he is the first really important lead we hear. Of course, this role was sung by Mario Filippschi. He sounded old, but his high C was wonderful. I had to consult the booklet that came with the recording to learn a thing about him (which was precious little) but it did give his birth and death dates. The man was OLD when he recorded the role. He may have been a wonder in his younger days, as he was considered for the longest time the only tenor who could successfully sing the role of Arnoldo in Rossini's William Tell. However, when he recorded this opera, he was, well, nearing the age most tenors gladly stop singing. That said, with repreated listenings, I started to really see what he was offering the role. He had heart, he had masculinity, he had passion. And he did sing the notes. I found his diction much better than Stignani's and he sang the correct sound for most of his vowels (Stignani has a terrible habit of singing all the "e" vowels, said in Italian as an "AY" sound to those who speak English, with all sorts of vowel sounds, and it didn't matter if the vowel occurred in the passagio or not, so covering or darkening the tone for the passagio was not the reason). I also found he did play off Callas' Norma well. He could act with his voice, but in all truth, it is one of those non-descript voices that serves the music well and drifts out of the hearer's memory. No, he is not a Corelli, but he sings with far more finesse than Corelli does, and he never had to SCOUP up to his higher notes, and he followed the timing of the music perfectly. I really learned to appreciate his contribution to the opera.

            Then there was Stignani. I have many recordings of her, some made way back when (back with Gigli) and she was electrifying in them. She had better diction as well and didn't distort her vowels as she does in this recording. However, as with Filippischi, she is no spring chicken. She is a "great dame" by this point in her life. Her legato line was not as it should have been (or as it was in the live recording I have), but it was by no means bad. One could tell hers is a huge voice, and well, they never record well. There was a super strong "squillo" to the sound (incredible ring, which is what a singer wants, even Callas has it, though her production is far too forward) which in and of itself gives excitement to whatever she sings. Personally, I felt she was far too old for Adalgisa by this point in her career, even though she sings it well (though to those who don't know, the duets are sung in the lower keys used by Ponselle when she sang the opera, not in the published keys in the score). I really doubt her ability to sing higher notes was the reason for the lower keys, for at that time period, it was normal to use the lower keys.

            However, Stignani does dodge the high C in the first act duet with Callas, and it is sad, but not a loss. I am not sure about the characterization of her role, for I really didn't feel for a moment I was listening to the fears and loves of a young vestle virgin wondering what to do with her first love. At times, I almost thought she should be giving Callas advice on love, she seemed old enough to be her mother.

            Yet, that said, I came to really love the performance. It is said that Stignani sounds "old fashioned" and that is quite a good desciption. She sings the role as it was sung in the olden days of opera (some call the golden age) and many of her methods and approaches to singing the role were also sung by Telva when she sang the role against Ponselle's Norma. That was how the world saw the opera then. We see it differently, and partly because of Callas and her new approach to things.

            Now we get to the NORMA of the opera, Callas. I have a number of recordings of Callas in this role, this and another studio recording, and two live performances, one at Covent Garden with the Clotilde of Sutherland, and the Paris opera performance near the end of her career (where she flubs a High C in the last act, stops the performance and resings the phrase getting the note, and by the way, I was at that performance in person, so I had the opportunity to witness a Callas Norma, even if it was at the end of her career).

            Though I agree with everyone when they say they find more subtleties with the later recording (and you will find even more in the Paris performance), Callas' basic understanding of Norma never changes. She knows what Norma is all about right from the get go. Maybe that was her work with Serafin that did that (after all, she very openly attributes her way with a recitative directly to him, and that he taught her how to make coloratura make dramatic sense, and she certainly does make it make dramatic sense). Whatever it was, this was a role that will forever be associated with Callas, and like many say, she is the only real Norma out there. Sutherland, Sills, and Caballe may have sang the notes more beautifully, but they didn't grasp, or if they did they couldn't convey it in their voices, the depth of character, nor the emotional distress of the character. Everyone sings her "angry moments" well, but what most forget is this is a woman who has lived a life of a lie for years. She is not the virgin she pretends to be. And that personal disappointment, that knowledge of self, that inner knowing of one's own hypocrasy, is there, even when Callas opens her mouth to begin the recitative that will lead us into the Casta Diva. As when Callas sang Violetta, we knew she was sick right from the get go, we know that Norman is a tormented creature right from the first notes, which makes her caballetta after the Casta Diva meaningful, for after all, she is not wanting her lover to be destroyed.

            This recording has much to offer, and much joy to give. I rated it only 4 stars because of my reservations with the cast (it seems more often than not, Callas is paired with far inferior casts in her recordings, which is such a shame; imagine if she had singers, both men and women, equal to her in presentation, coloratura, musicianship, and in dramatic interpretation). However, having seen Norma many times by various artists, I tend to agree with one reviewer who stated that we sadly see anyone get up there and sing this opera really ruining it because they have no business being up there singing it, even if they have all the notes.

            Callas may have not had the most beautiful voice, but she had far more than all the notes, she had the entire soul of the character; Callas is Norma.

            5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Norma On Record And Calla's Greatest Role.......2005-02-02

            This is the best version of Bellini's Norma on record because of the power and beauty of Maria Callas' voice which was at its prime in this recording. Maria Callas in her legendary 1954 performance as Bellini's epic character Norma..what more can you ask for ? Fans of the great late diva will be pleased. She has the best voice on this recording than all the subsequent late 50's and 60's recordings. It benefits from having conductor Tulio Serafin, who knew how to work well with Callas, as the force behind the music. Serafin made Callas a star actually, because he knew how to effectively bring out the best in her.

            Maria Callas in this Norma is fresh, powerful and complex. She is plaintive and spiritual in the serene "Casta Diva" aria, dazzling in the coloratura "A Bello A Mi Ritorna" and she changes from love-struck woman to a volcano of fury and revenge in the later scenes to finally noble and resigned in the finale. Only Callas could most dramatically portray Norma. It is true that Callas's singing technique emphasized the dramatic intensity more so than the beauty. She wanted for audiences to be treated to real drama. She strained her voice so hard that it can be a gritty ugly voice. Even like this, there are moments in which Maria Callas sounds absolutely beautiful. The weak cast supporting her are indeed inferior when compared to such singers as tenors Franco Corelli, Mario Del Monaco and mezzo soprano Christina Ludwig which Callas worked with in later recordings. But this doesnt matter seeing how Maria is the real star anyways.

            Other Normas of great calibre include Shirley Verrett and Montserrat Caballe. Both these sopranos once visited Callas and sought advice for how to sing a sensational Norma. Callas told them not to overdo it or to oversing it. Shirley Verrett sang a fine Norma and is indeed closer to Callas than Caballe but Caballe did the role numerous times and seemed to master the role quite well. If you are looking for the best Norma look no further.
