REGINE CRESPIN sings WAGNER
GEORGES PRETRE conducts
THE FRENCH NATIONAL RADIO ORCHESTRA
ASD 533
These performances represent one of the unchallenged peaks in the history of German song on disc. Since the day they were issued in 1963, Régine Crespin's Wagner have set the standard by which all others are measured, and if you've only room in your collection for one version of these pieces, then this is it. In fact, I would go so far as to say that this is one of the finest recordings of the human voice ever made. Crespin is perfectly balanced against the orchestra and sounds almost as if she were in your listening room with you--it's that tangible. Nothing stands between you and her incomparable way with the text of each song. For students of German singing, this disc is a veritable master class! George Pretre's contribution is as distinguished as Crespin's. He knows the music inside out. Stunning.
STUNNING HMV STEREO SOUND. DEEP AND RICH WITH UNMATCHED CLARITY.IT IS GENERALLY AGREED THAT THESE EARLY RECORDINGS ARE AMONGST THE FINEST EVER MADE.
