René Pape (bass) Staatsopernchor Dresden & Staatskapelle Dresden, Sebastian Weigle Rene Pape’s solo debut for DG gives an overview of the roles that have made his career plus a few rarities.. Accompanied by the Dresden Staatskapelle under Sebastian Weigle, Pape performs his signature piece: King Mark’s monologue from Tristan und Isolde, as well as arias from Gounod’s Faust (the role of Méphistophélès), Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov and wonderful arias of the rarely performed Demon (Rubinstein) among others. “René Pape is an artist who thrills his audiences with charisma, intelligence and a one-in-a-million voice.” (Opera News) The operatic roles on this album have to a large extend been performed by Pape to the highest critical acclaim in the world’s major opera houses, from the Metropolitan Opera to the Berlin Staatsoper. As Pape’s first solo recording and his DG solo debut, this album is long overdue and is eagerly awaited not only by the music press but also by the singer’s international fan base. |

René Pape, Christoph Strehl, Dorothea Röschmann, Hanno Müller-Brachmann & Erika Mikósa Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Claudio Abbado “Claudio Abbado’s Magic Flute sounds like a breath of fresh air… Since his own near-death experience during a grave illness, every piece he conducts has taken on a sense of existential urgency, including the Flute. One has seldom heard the work performed with such a light touch and effortless fluency, with such feeling for dramatic refinement and with the characters so musically alive.” (Die Zeit, May 2005) | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
