Reviews
Following hot on the heels of two fine new recordings of Schoenberg’s grand fin de siècle cantata, this release captures something very different: the first attempt to stage the piece. It makes for fascinating viewing. The guiding spirit is Dutch National Opera’s own artistic director, Pierre Audi; one can imagine a director having a tough time persuading a house to undertake the project in any other circumstances. But Audi wisely chooses to keep his narrative loose and suggestive, emphasising the piece’s affinity as much to Wagner’s Tristan as to Parsifal. ... The detailed, virtuoso playing of the orchestra and Marc Albrecht’s clear-sighted but impassioned conducting need fear no comparison with the best audio-only versions. A very impressive achievement all round. Hugo Shirley
