    Astonishing clear voice
  

*by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2023*

I like this video quite a lot, one reason is the recording is extremely well. Considering the tech at the time, I need to give it five stars.

    A Glowing Ariadne
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2008*

Like most Strauss fans my first exposure to thie opera (not counting 78's) was the EMI recording from 1955. It remains a classic recording and deservedly so. It did have a major competitor when EMI released a recording with Janowitz. I was lucky enough to be in Vienna in the fall of 1978 to see a production with Janowitz, James King, Agnes Balta and Patricia Wise. It was a glorious evening in the great house. This filmed version takes me back to that experience even though the film has a different cast, Janowitz excepted.I would have preferred a live performance to a film, but since that isn't possible what DGG have given us is not to be dismissed. The lipsynching is better than most DVD's that utilize this technique. In any event there are more closeups than most opera DVDs. The production is traditional without a whiff of Regietheatre. The colors glow and give off a richness that is appropriate--house of the richest man in Vienna! Janowitz is peerless; it was her role for many years and deservedly so. Trudelise Schmidt is not a name widely know in this country. If I can't have a Seefried or Jurinac I will accept Ms.Schmidt with no qualifications; her top is radiant and open. Reme Kollo is more problematic. He can sing with great nuance and sensitivity but he is also guilty of loud and/or vulgar singing. Damming with faint praise, the role is not long. Gruberova fan will not be disappointed. I wish I could write more favorably about her since she clearly has owned the role for many years. I suspect that hers is a voice that sounds better in the theatre than on discs, but there is no gainsaying that she is totally unfazed with the difficulties of the role and dispatches them with panache,The competition is not great; the Met's production is a mixed bag. A black and while production from Salzburg boasts one of the great singers of the century, Sena Jurinac. Alas the Ariadne is close to disaster. Hillebrecht's career is one of the great mysteries.A production from Germany (Dresden?) is a Konzept that will not endear many viewers and the singing is good enough to overlook many of the dramatic faux pas. A new recording from Zurich is on the way and while the cast is somewhat problematic this new DGG release would be my choice if one only has room for one Ariadne.

    Superb, Exquisite, and Sublime!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2008*

For a good performance of Ariadne, the most important ingredient is a good Ariadne and Zerbinetta.  Gundula Janowitz sings superbly and ably conveys the bearing of the distraught and, at times, aloof princess, Ariadne.Edita Gruberova turns in the performance of a lifetime, as the epitome of a coquettish Zerbinetta.  Her "Grossmachtige Prinzessin" by itself is something you will want to share with friends, to show them the virtuosity of a truly great singer.  As a crowning glory to this famous aria, our flirty Zerbinetta effortlessly ascends to the very highest notes--Get this!--as she powders her face.  Spectacularly, it displays both Gruberova's incomparable singing abilities, and her perfectly complementary acting abilities.The "harlequin group" also displays joyful singing and acting that make them absolutely lovable.So could anything make this even better?  Yes, the tempi and conducting interpretation seem to me to be just as Strauss would have enjoyed hearing them.  The hauntingly and ethereally beautiful "Tone, tone, susse Stimme" sung by the nymphs is sung with sufficient volume to be more appreciated.  Every other performance seems to make that passage a bit too soft.  It's too beautiful not to be properly heard!  So why was this conductor able to turn up the volume on it?  I think it's because the conductor, Karl Bohm, advanced in age as he was here, had actually worked alongside Richard Strauss.  He knew what Strauss expected, and the result is that we can hear it Strauss's way.  It's superb, exquisite, and sublime.  Oh, and in Zerbinetta's final scene, she winks to us, at precisely the right moment--icing on a delicious cake.
