SA-CD site review by Polly Nomial June 17, 2007	
Performance: 5
stars
Sonics:  5 stars

A landmark recording of this gargantuan work from the pre-Serialist
Schönberg.

As with Berlioz: Requiem - Norrington, the SWR engineers have captured vast forces with
apparent ease and breathtaking clarity. [Almost disappointingly, their other most recent disc is Mahler: Symphony No. 2
- Norrington!]

Performing here under the baton of Michael Gielen are:
Melanie Diener (Tove), Yvonne Naef
(Waldtaube), Robert Dean Smith (Waldemar), Gerhard Siegel (Klaus-Narr), Ralf Lukas (Bauer), Andreas Schmidt
(Sprecher)
Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks & MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig
SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und
Freiburg

The issue is an early 80th birthday present to Michael Gielen and one must say that he deserves
every last second that is on these discs. Whilst this is nowhere near the fastest reading on disc, it holds the
attention throughout; one must never mistake slowness for slackness. The kaleidoscope of sound is firmly but gently
bought into crystalline focus under his baton. The general tempi may be slower than many on disc have adopted but the
dedicated concentration keeps the listener riveted and allows for the love songs to sound genuinely tender. In the more
extrovert Parts Two and Three, the slightly relaxed pacing is offset by the amount of detail that can register with the
mind. Together with a rhapsodic and ecstatic closing sunrise, the emotional impact is overwhelming and takes one
completely by surprise (as if Gielen is trying to conceal it from our consciousness, only to subvert this in our
subconscious ear). [If one is sampling, beware - snippets here and there can be quite deceptive on first hearing.]

From the radiant opening to the terrifying hunting scenes, the orchestra is simply wonderful. It revels in the
opulence of the writing whilst at the same time respecting the myriad of markings and textures to reveal this score as
anew. A special credit has to be given to Gielen and the orchestra to accompanying with vigour yet not overwhelming any
of the soloists. There are, understandably, one or two minor lapses but they are few and do not distract from the
overall impact.

Robert Dean Smith is an established Wagnerian singer and this shows in the full and heady
tone that he can find without strain. He sings intelligently and dramatically, pacing himself well throughout his
contributions to the work. Melanie Diener has also sung the role of Tove for Robert Craft (now on a Naxos RBCD set) and
whilst she may not possess as luxuriant tone as some nor convey all of the ecstatic moments with as much intensity as
some there is no denying her understanding of the part and nothing is out of place nor is there any electricity lacking
in her interpretation.

Yvonne Naef is a young singer but doesn't compare at all unfavourably against more
mature artists like Anne Sofie von Otter. Indeed, there are many instances when one is grateful that Tove doesn't sound
like she needs help to stay on her perch! The crucial section at the end of Part One is sung well, although not perhaps
exceptionally, by Naef and she sings with a wisdom quite beyond her years. Gerhard Siegel as the Bauer is quite
terrified (as would I be with the chorus and orchestra letting loose all around me!) and very convincing as the poor,
confused country-dweller. 

Ralf Lukas is a most entertaining Klaus-Narr; with delicious pointing, he brings
out all of the black humour in his part. Andreas Schmidt as the speaker tackles the Sprechstimme with admirable taste;
some have made so much of the writing that one can almost taste ham but there is no whiff of meat here! That is not to
say that Schmidt is any way anonymous with his enunciation but he does not imbue it, as too many have done, with arch
and frankly camp over-acting.

The combined chorus' do not have much to do as a proportion of the score but
the men of these ensembles make for a most imposing army as they trample through the countryside. Their diction is a joy
to behold and German speakers could easily dispense with the texts. When joined by their female counterparts in the
glorious conclusion, they are just as well disciplined and expansive in tone without a hint of harshness in the
sopranos.

Sensibly, to keep printing costs down, there are none of the usual biographies included in the
booklet but a list of websites allows one to find more details if interested. The notes themselves are fair, with some
illuminating quotes that shed light on the ideals behind the work. The song texts are given in both German and
English.

For all these admirable qualities and exhilarating performances, this would amount to nothing if the
5.1 recording was not of the very highest order. Fortunately it is one of the very best one could hope to hear; it is
quite a gauntlet that the SWR engineers have thrown down to other teams (both within radio and also from the recording
company fraternities) and this will take a great deal just to come close to matching this achievement. The level of
detail is quite staggering and takes the breath away each time one hears it, as does the wonderfully wide dynamic range
reflected in the recording. Most fantastic of all is the way it sounds completely natural with a wide and deep staging
(all the more tangible in the MCH presentation) which allows detail after detail to register with ease on the ear
without any apparent spot-lighting. That these discs are derived from concert performances is quite unbelievable until
the audible sigh-like relaxation of tension at the end of the work (the applause is not included).

Altogether
a marvellous achievement from all concerned. I cannot imagine that Gurrelieder will be frequently recorded in the
current climate across all media, let alone SACD but this set must count amongst those at the very top of the list -
though, as with all recordings of a piece like this, none can hold all the answers. This surely has to grace every
audiophiles and musicians player on many occasions - if ever there was a demonstration disc, this is it!

Enjoy...
