Maazel; Töpper, Crespin, Edelmann, Rothenberger, Herbert
SID.19320641
Crespin I saw for the first time in Dallas a month before the broadcast which introduced her to the USA at large. One either gets her or does not. She is not a perfect singer, though this Marschallin contains very few vocal flaws, and a monologue that ranks with the absolute best. She sounds and performs like no other singer, and that individuality showed up as Dido in the Boston Troyens, the Sieglinde on numerous occasions, her Met Walkure Brunnhildes, and her Madame de Croissy having moved up from Lidoine afforded Met operagoers a special interpretation. Edelmann and Rothenberger are very much up to their task, as Maazel’s interpretation is not exactly a Viennese dessert. A week with two Crespin performances is special indeed.
