1.Herbert Von Karajan - Mozart: Coronation Mass [1985] starring: Herbert Von Karajan, Kathleen Battle, Trudeliese Schmidt, Gosta Winbergh, Ferruccio Furlanetto February 05, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details
A wonderful DVD indeed. The location is the gigantic St Pauls in the Vatican. A fitting setting for such a mammoth and exciting Mozart Mass. With a much healthier and younger Pope John Paul II holding the mass inbetween the music,this DVD has some big names on the list. As a fan of the Coronation Mass, i picked this up from Amazon earlier in the year and was not dissapointed. The performance is glorious and powerful. Karajan seems quite subdued at times perhaps due to a feeling that he should not steal the show considering this was an entire mass being performed inbetween the music. And you get the sense that he was hired to conduct the mass, but not to steal the show and divert from the religious aspect of it. But when it comes to the superb ... Read More:

5.Ariadne Auf Naxos - Strauss [1978] starring: Gundula Janowitz, René Kollo, Walter Berry, Trudeliese Schmidt, Edita Gruberova directed by: John Vernon October 15, 2007

On paper what more could you want for an Ariadne - superb cast, fine conductor and orchestra, and a faithful production that doesn't mess about with the setting. And yet what materialises is a dull studio recording (based on a stage version from Vienna in the 1970's) that can't decide if it is a film or a recording of a staged production, and fails on both counts - flat, two-dimensional characters in a museum piece, like butterflies pinned into an album, never to float again. This impression is only made worse by the singers (badly) lip-synching to a previously recorded audio track which removes any excitement or immediacy to their singing. And this is all the more frustrating, for what glorious singing there is - Gundula Janowitz ... Read More:
