Strauss, J, II: Die Fledermaus


Gundula Janowitz, Eberhard Wächter, Wolfgang Windgassen, Heinz Holecek & Erich Kunz

Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm

Staged and Directed by: Otto Schenk

"Optimally captured on film” (Die Presse, Vienna)

“A glittering account of the most perfect of all operettas, with an incredibly starry cast, all in peak condition. Karl Böhm's conducting is relaxed but sparkling.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 *****

“…an agreeably old-fashioned staging… The greatest glory of the performance… remains the ladies - above all Renate Holm's effervescent Adele - just as it was all those years ago.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008

Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus, Herbert von Karajan

“Elisabeth Schwarzkopf’s Hanna Glawari, a role she recorded twice, is legendary, but she is just as marvellous as Rosalinde. Few singing actors have been so expressive, so expert at weighting their words and nuances. Who has ever sung ‘So muss allein ich bleiben’ or ‘Mein Herr, was dächten Sie von mir’ so sensually?” MusicWeb
