Those who feared that in the Wagner year 2013 they would only have to be satisfied with curiosities or canned goods from the baking catalogues reheated for the umpteenth time are in for a decidedly pleasant “surprise” on MARIINSKY. The label is launching a brand new ring whose cast of leading roles can only be described as luxurious: Nina Stemme, Jonas Kaufmann and Rene Pape kick things off in Die Walküre. Valery Gergiev on the podium of the Mariinsky Orchestra ensures a gripping Wagnerian sound, the SACD recording technology an audiophile listening pleasure. Reviews |
