Clearly it is a struggle and often she simply comes across as loud. Vickers also has a bad night (apparently he was a bit under the weather). The spoken dialogue is either a distant murmuring or hammy theatrical overstatement.

Leonore III and the final scene are the best things, together with the Fidelio ... Read More:

The musical strengths of this set are really beyond further comment. It is one of the great opera recordings. Sadly EMI decided against including the dialogue, but the compensation lies in the singing and wonderful playing. It is good to know that while some of Furtwangler's other recordings (the late-40's 'Eine Kleine' for example) seem to be unavailable, at least this one goes forward as a reminder of his great and noble art.

For info about this and other Furtwangler discs, please contact me on prterry@terrt.fsnet.co.uk

I am always happy to 'meet up' with other Furtwangler admirers via the internet!
