 Nothing tentative here May 3, 2013 By J S E T. (West Grove, PA) See All My Reviews "The East German sound first hits the listener as being of the studio. But the ear quickly adjusts and one is caught up in the drama. The chorus and orchestra from Leipzig and Dresden are first rate across the board. Freni, Allen, Shicoff, von Otter, et al. all belong to these roles. But the work of James Levine is unique. His approach is large felt, heart on sleeve, no holds barred romantic opera. At the same time the composer's markings are respected and no element is glossed over. The catharsis hits hard." Report Abuse
