Music reviews of Wagner: Tannhäuser ~ Domingo, Studer, Baltsa, Salminen, A. Schmidt; Sinopoli

Music Review: A Dreamy, Beautiful, Golden Tannhauser
Rating: 5 Stars

This 80's studio recording of Wagner's Tannhauser is not largely considered "Wagnerian" because all the talents behind it are not German, but it is a beautifully rendered opera and very moving. It stars Placido Domingo as Tannhauser, Cheryl Studer as Elisabeth, Agnes Baltsa as Venus, Matti Salminen as Hermann, Andreas Schmidt as Wolfram Von Eschenbach and Barbara Bonney as a Young "hirt". Italian conductor Giuseppe Sinopoli conducts. Other than the principal singers, the rest are German singers. Sinopoli conducts with great texture and subtleties. Dramatic climaxes are all in their respective place and most importantly of all, the music never drowns out the singers but, like bel canto, accompanies them well. Placido Domingo sings with passion, elegance and wonderful dramatic abilities. He has portrayed Tannhauser on stage and he fits the character well. The poet-musician who has lived with Venus, renouncing his Christian faith and love- Elisabeth- only to realize the folly of his ways is a wonderful vehicle for Domingo. Domingo is a versatile singer and one whose voice is glorious, simply beautiful and energetic. Sure, let the critics have their field days about how he can't sing Wagner. I say he can and best of all he is not "bitten" by the Bayreuth bark and is a welcome change from all the Wolfang Windgassens, Jon Vickers, Rene Kollos and James Kings on studio recordings. Mezzo soprano Agnes Baltsa as Venus is sensual, mellow and calculating. She sings with great beauty and never sounds edgy or erratic. She is wonderful and proves her own versatility as she has sung a number of roles from Dona Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni, La Cenerentola from Rossini's opera to Verdi's wicked heroine Eboli in Don Carlo and Queen Elisabeth in Donizetti's Maria Stuarda among many other roles. Matti Salminen's voice is noble and grand and Wagner goes well on him. It is a gorgeous voice, with a healing quality to it. I've seen Matti on stage and he has a regal presence. The only weak link in this cast is, unfortunately, Cheryl Studer as Elisabeth. There is no sense of true Wagnerian musicality here. Even Domingo has that. Studer sings the role with no real emotion or warmth, and sounds as if she were singing Marguerite in Faust or Donizetti's Lucia. She has a beautiful voice but it's not suited to Wagner. It's an experiment from her part to sing the role of Elisabeth. Also, she takes the "sweet and dull girlfriend" approach to the part. I like to think that Elisabeth had some spine. Yes, she represents the Christian woman, but she should be seen as a fighter, she is fighting to save Tannhauser's soul. She is a warrior of God, an angel with the weapon of love. But very few sopranos sing her as a fighter. Normally, Elisabeth is mellow, sweet and lackluster next to the more fiery and passionate Venus. But Elisabeth ought to have some passion too. I have enjoyed Studer in other roles but she does not impress as Elisabeth. But not even this is a drawback. This is a fine recording with great moments of beauty and drama.

Description of Wagner: Tannhäuser ~ Domingo, Studer, Baltsa, Salminen, A. Schmidt; Sinopoli

Another Paris Tannhäuser recording, this one seeing the adaptable Placido Domingo take a break from the world of Italianate opera to try on the mantle of Heldentenor. Domingo's clear, manly voice is well suited to the transformation--precisely why Italians usually don't think of him as a bella voce. Agnes Baltsa approaches the role of Venus in a less shrill and more human manner than often is heard in portrayals of the excitable goddess. The sound is exceptionally clear in the recording, a comparatively newer digital mastering from the late 1980s. The chorus work is good, though not quite on the sublime plane reached in the Georg Solti recording. Maestro Giuseppe Sinopoli conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in a measured, stately manner. --Christian C. Rix
