Music reviews of Wagner: Rienzi
Music Review: What a powerful performance
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a marvelous Opera, away from the typical Wagner compositions. You'll barely recognise it: few leitmotivs, large choral scenes, a non-german topic.
This particular recording is the "complete" and "final" version by Wagner (the unabridged version would last more than 6 hours and I think it hasn't been fully recorded yet). The conducting by Herr Hollreiser is so powerful and perfect that you'll think that the one with the baton is Karajan.
The singers are mavelous: It's the best recording of Kollo, indeed. The Irene sung by Wennberg is tender but at the same time, powerful. Both Choruses (Staatsoper Dresden & Staatskapelle Dresden) are strong and clear, without any shouting.
If you're into Opera, buy it. If you're not into it, buy it too. It's a little bit long: almost 3 hours and a half. But's worth the time
