Saving the best for last in the Richard Strauss anniversary 2014. The world s most luxurious soprano, Anna Netrebko, sings Richard Strauss sumptuous Four Last Songs, accompanied by the Staatskapelle Berlin and Daniel Barenboim. An irresistible, all-star combination. The live recording will take place in Berlin, this month. It is a charity concert.
It's Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, making her first German-language recording, who gets top billing here, and that's understandable: Netrebko is emerging as one of the top stars in opera, with a big voice and an outsized personality to match. Her reading of Richard Strauss' reflective Four Last Songs does come out sounding a bit like the Italian opera in which she specializes, but to her credit she dials back the drama and achieves a sensitive response to the texts. The Four Last Songs, though, make up less than a third of this album's more-than-65-minute length; the balance is devoted to a fine performance of the Strauss tone poem Ein Heldenleben, with the Staatskapelle Berlin, the orchestra that premiered the work, led by Daniel Barenboim. Strauss' highly pictorial score receives detailed treatment from Barenboim, and the musicians follow him every step of the way. This is a live recording, made to benefit the restoration of the Staatsoper unter den Linden, the Berlin State Opera building. What little is lost in the sound environment is more than amply repaid in the sense of immediacy felt and expressed by the musicians. Recommended perhaps for Netrebko fans, decisively for those of Barenboim.
