One hopes that since Medici streamed it they will also allow the recording to be released commercially. On an only semi-related note, I always wish I could have seen Christa Ludwig's Ariadne.<br /><br />And I do enjoy my Ariadnes more when they are interactive (Voigt makes an attempt, but I think Norman's director discouraged it. The best part of that DVD is getting to see the sopranos in rehearsal with Maestro Levine.<br /><br />Have you seen the Guth Ariadne from Zurich?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322512607114908183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245314665139759027.post-59762332389261942942012-10-12T17:42:18.110-04:002012-10-12T17:42:18.110-04:00I too watched this Ariadne on my computer screen--...I too watched this Ariadne on my computer screen--not ideal. I do hope that it becomes available on a commercial DVD, but please with Kaufmann not Sacca. Magee's previous Ariadne is gorgeous, beautifully sung and acted. Her two arias are matched only by Cebotari. I will concede that Voigt's performance is well sung but she is dramatically inert and utterly without involvement. I doubt if she could sing this music post surgery. Norman's performance is as inert as well. Both ladies are carrying too much weight. I did see Janowitz in Vienna in the production that was filmed. Impressive on stage and slightly boring on film. Like you I stuck with the "Prologue" even though I suspect your German is beter than mine. David Dollingernoreply@blogger.com
