Music reviews of Debussy: Pelléas et Mélisande
Music Review: Long out of print in N. America
Rating: 5 Stars
Boulez' DVD recording of Pelleas with the Welsh National is one of the most heavenly moments on video. His Nixon-era audio recording was available in N. America ever-so-briefly, with less than ideal sonics. Though it remained available in Europe, it was costly as an import. So finally re-issued on Sony's budget opera line, it is great to have this again, though sonically, it's still lacking when compared to the original vinyl release (with it's elegant and thorough box set booklet). But I am glad to have this available once again. It was one of my first Pelleas recordings, and though I now go between von Karajan, Ansermet, and Dutoit, and Desormiere recordings, this early introduction to my favorite opera remains close to me. Many of these singers are no longer with us, though Boulez is as active an octogenarian genius as it gets, and George Shirley, whose exquisitely rich interpretation of Pelleas still shakes me, remains one of the great voice teachers in America. Take this moment of history and revel in an lost ear of not-so-long ago.
