Customer Reviews of Richard Strauss - Die Frau Ohne Schatten / Solti, Studer, Terfel
Complete Not only is is the only Die Frau Ohne Schatten available on DVD, it is absolutely complete!! There are no cuts whatsoever. This really puts CD sets like Sinopoli to shame since they could have just patched in the cut sections from the 'live' performance. We owe it to Solti to show the world that Strauss' Die Frau can be performed uncut (unlike say Elektra which probably could not since Elektra is too taxing a role).
A great supplement to Solti's even better CD performance featuring Domingo, Behnrens, Varady and Van Dam.
Awful acting by female "stars"
Studer is great as long as she stands still and just sings. Her "acting" is humorous if nothing else. Lipovsek is painful to watch with those stupid facial expressions. Marton's voice is nearly intolerable and she looks perpetually annoyed while waddling around the stage like a penguin. Richard Hale is very good. Ditto Terfel.
The videography is pointless. The sets are...well what sets are there in this opera beside the house? The casting of the extras must have been courtesy of the United Nations. The camera is fixated on Solti...no evidence the orchestra even exists. Sound is good.
Typical uneven opera by R. Strauss. But made much worse by this overrated production.
Straussian opera at its best!
I agree completely with Mr. Marcelino Plaza's (Caracas) detailed review on this marvelous opera. However, Mr Plaza should not worry about cuts in the Nurse part «Solti... insisted in presenting the work complete, whether for the public or in the studio, so we may presume this performance is complete, although it is neither so advised in the booklet nor could I check it with a score. »
Actually, the score IS complete and this is written in the booklet (p. 16) included with the 2 DVDs.
