Music reviews of Humperdinck: Hänsel und Gretel
Music Review: Warning!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a marvelous recording. I have loved it since it first came out in lp (those wonderful box sets with a full-size libretto you could actually read) and have missed it since I "lost" all my opera recordings. I have wanted for so long to replace it on cd and now at last I have it.
Cotrubas and Von Stade are just wonderful as Gretel and Hansel; so, for that matter is everyone, especially Soderstom as the Witch. The music is so beautiful that I get tears from just the introduction alone.
However, when I opened the package I was thunderstruck! Some bonehead at Sony Masterworks decided not to include a libretto and booklet with notes about the artist and the work. Instead, s/he or them decided to put the libretto on as a cd-rom. Great! For those who don't have a libretto and are not familiar with the opera and don't have a computer, bad news. For those who do have a computer and for some reason you cannot access the cd-rom, there is a note that your computer might not be compatible with the cd-rom.
This is the very first opera on cd that this has happened with and I am amazed that a company like Sony would send out a cd without a printed libretto. For me there is no problem since I know this opera completely. But for those who don't and want their child/children to hear it, there is no synopsis or libretto or anything there. And no track numbers, either.
But it is a fabulous recording!
