Music reviews of Wagner: G?tterd?mmerung
Music Review: Intense Gotterdammerung
Rating: 5 Stars
Levine ends his gorgeous Ring cycle in style here, conducting a most exciting performance and drawing some sumptuous playing from the Met Orchestra. I have 4 Ring cycles and some of the singing is stronger in other recordings, especially from the Siegfrieds, but this is the recording that works best for me. Reiner Goldberg doesn't sound as solid here as in the Siegfried recording, but is still very listenable for the most part - some of the phrases lack support. Behrens sounds fine - a lighter sound than Nilsson definitely, but dramatically more intense - her top notes are rock solid, the lower range sometimes fades away. Hanna Schwarz is a revelation as Waltraute - her scene with Behrens is one of the highlights of the set. I've never heard this scene sung so movingly. Salminen is evil personified as Hagen - he gives me the chills, which is surely what Wagner intended. Cheryl Studer is luxury casting in the smallish role of Gutrune, making a strong impression in a usually thankless role. Overall I'd say 4 1/2 stars. Did I mention that the digital recording is reference quality?
