Description: Description Bruno Walter Metropolitan Opera Orchestra Mozart Le nozze di Figaro 3 UHQCDProduct introduction A series of live recordings by Epitagraph Label, planned 60 years after Walter's death. The big hit - Mozart's three major operas ``The Magic Flute'' ``The Marriage of Figaro'' ``Don Giovanni'' will be released simultaneously! This "Figaro", which fully retains the small and youthful sense of his time in Vienna, is also indispensable for talking about him (Kouyoshi Uno). A must-have for fans! You can enjoy Walter's famous performance "The Marriage of Figaro" (1944) with excellent sound quality! In November 1942, Walter re-performed ``Don Giovanni'' and ``The Magic Flute'' at the Metropolitan Opera, and conducted ``The Marriage of Figaro'' for the first time in December. with this This situation is described as follows in his famous work, "Bruno Walter's Man Who Sees Paradise in Music". The cast was excellent, with John Brownlee, Ezio Pinza, Jarmila Novotna, Bidu Sayan, and young American soprano Eleanor Steber, who was singing the role of the Countess for the first time at the Met. Directed by Herbert Graf, Howard Taubman* wrote, "It was an improvement over the previous productions. The Marriage of Figaro is not just a play of easy laughter." "Thus its warmth, its beauty, its enduring humanity shines forth and cheers up a ruthless world." There were alternating parts and... (omitted)... parts that fell into sentimentality. In short, Walter's approach was too individualistic." ("Bruno Walter, The Man Who Sees Paradise in Music" by Eric Riding and Rebecca Petschwski, Translated by Yoshiya Takahashi, Ongaku no Tomo Publishing, 2015) This time, the Marriage of Figaro CD is an album version of the stage performed in the following season (1943/44 season) at the Metropolitan Opera. The legendary stage with Ezio Pinza, Bido Sayan and other star singers who were active at the Met at the time, the ultimate Mozart conducted by Walter, and you can listen to all the masterpieces "The Marriage of Figaro" among the masterpieces. There have already been several types of overseas LPs and CDs on the market, but the epitagraph edition, which will be making its debut in Japan this time, is the CD that attracts the most attention, even if you're not a fan. Regarding the world premiere LP (Walter Society Edition) of the entire ≪Marriage of Figaro≫ (1944), Mr. Koyoshi Uno's evaluation of the performance is as follows, regardless of the sound quality. (Omitted) The ``overture'' is extremely fast, combining lightness and youthfulness, while the second theme slows down the tempo and shows a change in the lonely atmosphere unique to Walter. I'm going to move. In the duet after the opening, the performance becomes slower, and an elegant atmosphere fills the air, but for a short while, it regains its wittyness. That kind of breathing skill is as expected. In other words, while keeping a fast tempo as a whole, slowing down the key points to make the most of the elegance. For example, in Cherubino's aria "I don't know myself," I feel like I can hear the sigh of romantic love (especially in the last part, where the tempo is slowed down and the beauty of the pianissimo), and the Countess's aria "I don't know myself." The extreme slowness and daring orchestral cantabile of "Ai no Kamisama, Misonawase" are even more wonderful than Boehm's. Walter's sympathy for the play is also evident in how fiercely the orchestra speaks in Act III, in the recitation of Count Almaviva and the Countess. Even in the "Aria of Barbarina" at the beginning of the fourth act, the orchestra's prelude perfectly depicts the desperate feelings of a girl who has lost something important, along with the silence of the night. Singers are rather mediocre. In particular, Figaro's voice is aged, and the count has no dignity, and the orchestra is not good at all. Rhythm is nothing but Walter. However, the accompaniment of the narration on the piano is an old style and lacks atmosphere. As a whole, Walter's expression still lacks the perfection of 1956's "The Magic Flute", but this "Figaro", which fully retains the small and youthful taste of his time in Vienna, also shows him. It can be said that it is indispensable to talk. "Bruno Walter - A History of Performance through Records" (written by Koyoshi Uno, published by Ongaku no Tomosha in 1972) Clear and good sound quality as a broadcast recording at this time. The noise level is relatively low and easy to hear. With the latest remastering and UHQCD, the sound quality is as good as any of the previous overseas editions! Please look forward to Walter's precious live recording "The Marriage of Figaro" (1944).
