October 2011
underrated. It has strong vocal performances...and it's gloriously played by the Vienna Philharmonic...I specially enjoyed Perry's charming Sophie, and Moll is an impressive Ochs. Karajan's speeds, as in his first recording, are very spacious - even more so here - and the effect is undoubtedly beautiful...this is a set well worth having alongside more fleet-footed versions.
