This is the audio for the performance issued on DVD, NOT available on MOoD, as are many of the R. Strauss offerings. Battle’s performance is enhanced by the visual. Norman, King, and Troyanos are among the major exponents of their parts in late 20th century.

Levine; Meier, Kollo, Gruberova, Troyanos, Monk, Duesing

Even though Kollo is rather hard pressed, Johanna Meier substituting for Leontyne Price is a worthy replacement, and Gruberova and Troyanos among the very best to have ever touched their two roles. It is one of Gruberova’s two Met broadcasts (the other is Puritani), so highly recommended.

Voigt is in very fresh voice here, but Schmidt and Dahl are not to my taste, and I think Stratas over sings the part of Composer. Better to hear the 1979 performance with one of Gruberova’s only 2 Met broadcasts with Kollo, Troyanos, and Johanna Meier in the title role.

RWW: This is Ms. Norman’s first season at the Met in her most frequent assumption. Cochran makes his Met farewell in his only sizable part–Vogelsang in Meistersinger does not qualify. He had a distinguished career in Frankfurt that did not translate to New York in terms of timing or repertory. I heard him when he was still at Curtis, and while very musical, lacked a star sound. Ewing is not a Composer to my taste (nor is Stratas), but hearing early Norman or the charming Rolandi is not a poor way to pass the time. Ariadne remains my favorite Strauss opera.
