Content introduction

Bernstein's Silver Rose Blooms in Vienna.

Bernstein's ``Knight of the Rose'' masterpiece, recorded in 1971 at the legendary Sofiensaal and produced by John Culshaw, is vividly revived on DSD. The 1968 Der Rosenkavalier, conducted by Bernstein and newly directed by Otto Schenck, was a huge success, receiving 48 curtain calls, and three years later, in parallel with the re-performance in March 1971, it was performed at the Sofiensaal. This album was recorded in session. The best thing to listen to is Bernstein's conducting, which brings out vivid performances full of clarity and power while respecting the highly skilled Vienna Philharmonic, whose work is deeply ingrained in their bones (at the Staatsoper) In the performance, during the prelude in Act 3, he is said to have given instructions only with glances, without conducting.) Ludwig's splendid characterization and rich singing as the Marshal's wife, the dignifiedness of Jones, who is rare for a soprano singer in the role of Octavian, the freshness of Pop's singing as Sophie, and the Viennese style without being too vulgar. All of them have the right people in the right places, such as the berry Ox Baron, which brings out the flavor. Domingo's appearance as a tenor is also a pleasure to listen to.
