[41] Opera Christian Thielemann conducts: Die Frau Ohne Schatten by Strauss In Salzburg [Etcohod] Christian Thielemann conducts Die Frau Ohne Schatten by Strauss In Salzburg . Language: German. Subtitle: French (Hardcoded). Die Frau ohne Schatten, by Richard Strauss Wiener Philharmoniker, Christian Thielemann (conductor) Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor Stephen Gould (The Emperor) Anne Schwanewilms (The Empress) Michaela Schuster (The Nurse) Wolfgang Koch (Barak, the Dyer) Evelyn Herlitzius (Barak's Wife) Markus Brück (The One-Eyed) Steven Humes (The One-Armed) Andreas Conrad (The Hunchback) Christof Loy (Stage Director) Karina Fibich (Video Director) Recorded at the Salzburg Festival in 2011 ''A shining hour, a moment of glory', trumpeted Vienna's Kurier after the double premiere of Richard Strauss' 'Die Frau ohne Schatten' at the Salzburg Festival: the premiere of a stunning production, and that of Christian Thielemann as opera conductor at the Salzburg Festival. True to the Salzburg Festival's tradition, this production features a line-up of great Strauss singers. Next to the luminous Anne Schwanewilms as the Empress, the masterful Stephen Gould as Emperor, and the splendid bass-baritone Wolfgang Koch as Barak, Michaela Schuster and Evelyn Herlitzius as the Nurse and Barak's Wife 'raise their figures to genuine protagonists with their dramatic verve' (Su'ddeutsche Zeitung). Completed in 1917, the massively scored work - one of the most difficult to interpret, both musically and dramatically - wasn't a success from the beginning. It was only years later that the opera was rediscovered: thanks to Karl B?hm's acclaimed complete Grammophon recording, which took place in Vienna in 1955, the work became better known and is now even regarded as the richest and most colorful score that Strauss ever wrote. It is this recording that inspired director Christof Loy's production, which is set in the mid 1950s in the Sofiens?le, a celebrated Viennese recording studio at the time. The singers portray singers from the Wiener Staatsoper at the recording, who - during the course of the performance - gradually meld with their roles. Genre :opéras Length:03:38:03 Sharing Widget |
