| Meyerbeer helped secure a Dresden premiere for Rienzi and a Berlin performance of The Flying Dutchman. In its latest excavation on March 11 at the Berlin State Opera, Robert triumphed musically, with Meyerbeer anticipating all those evocative sounds we know so well from ballets like Giselle, Le Bayadere, and Don Quixote (but dwarfing them all by his much more imaginative instrumentation). From Deutsche Grammophon, Mezzo Soprano Anne Sophie von Otter gets the nod for her recording of songs and chamber music by Beethoven, Meyerbeer and Spohr (Archiv) as does Bass-Baritone Thomas Quasthoff for his critically-acclaimed recording of two song cycles, Schubert: Schwanengesang/Brahms: Vier Ernste Gesange. |
