Clarinet Quintet (Grand Quintetto) in B flat, Op. 34 降B大调单簧管五重奏
Australian Decca Eloquence (ADD) 476 2447. De Peyer, Melos Ens. – HUMMEL: Piano Quintet; Piano Septet
Weber’s Clarinet Quintet was written at a time when the clarinet was still fighting for acceptance as a solo instrument; even though Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert had used its novel colours with the utmost felicity, there remained plenty of scope for more virtuosic treatment. This Weber undertook in his concertos and in the Quintet, which is delightful music as well as being a willing vehicle for the soloist’s display of pyrotechnics. Gervase de Peyer is in his element, immaculate and brilliant, and given superb support from the Melos Ensemble. The 1959 recording is unbelievably warm and vivid.
韦伯创作这部五重奏时,单簧管尚未完全确立独奏乐器地位——尽管莫扎特、贝多芬与舒伯特已极尽精妙地运用其新颖音色,但仍有炫技空间亟待开发。韦伯通过协奏曲与这部五重奏实现了这种可能,作品既是令人愉悦的乐章,又为独奏家提供了施展火力的舞台。杰尔维斯·德·佩耶的演绎堪称完美,技艺无瑕且光彩夺目,梅洛斯合奏团的协奏亦属顶级水准。1959年的录音有着难以置信的温暖与鲜活感。

Arthaus mono DVD 01 271. Kozub, Frick, Saunders, Mathis, Grundheber, Blankenheim, Minetti, Sotin, Krause, Hamburg State Op. Ch. & PO, Ludwig (Director: Rolf Liebermann; V/D: Joachim Hess)
A fascinating early example of filmed opera in remarkably vivid colour, dating from 1968. The cast pre-recorded the music in mono within an attractive acoustic, then acted and sang the opera on stage, miming very successfully to the pre-recording. The production and sets are traditional, very much so. But the principals are excellent singers every one, with Gottlob Frick’s melodramatic portrayal of Kaspar almost stealing the show. If, as Kilian, Franz Grundheber’s Act I aria is a bit too self-satisfied, the main problem is that Max, the hero (Ernst Kozub), although he sings ardently, looks so morose throughout the opera that one wonders what Agathe can see in him. However, both she (the sweet-voiced Arlene Saunders) and the delightful Ännchen (a young Edith Mathis), are charmers in their central scenes, which contain the heroine’s two most famous arias, very well sung. The Wolf’s Glen scene, dominated by a sinister Samiel (Bernhard Minetti), is staged quite spectacularly, with an impressive storm, even if it is not as rivetingly scary as the famous Keilberth audio recording. However, the opera’s closing scene, with Hans Sotin magnificently commanding as the Hermit who intervenes to provide the happy ending, is very successful. In all – allowances being made for the dated production – this is most enjoyable and a considerable achievement when one realizes it is over 40 years old! There is, for once, a good accompanying booklet, with synopsis and full documentation.
这部1968年摄制的歌剧电影以惊人的鲜艳色彩成为早期影像化歌剧的典范。演员们先在优质声场中预录单声道音频,再通过精准对口型完成舞台表演。传统风格的制作与布景中,主演阵容堪称豪华:戈特洛布·弗里克以戏剧性演绎将卡斯帕尔塑造成抢戏反派,阿尔琳·桑德斯(阿加特)与年轻的艾迪特·马蒂斯(安琴)分别以甜润嗓音完美呈现女主角的两首著名咏叹调。尽管男主角马克斯(恩斯特·科祖布)始终愁容满面,但"狼谷"场景中阴森的萨米尔(伯恩哈德·米内蒂)与震撼的暴风雨效果仍具冲击力,汉斯·索汀饰演的隐士则以威严嗓音成就圆满结局。考虑到年代局限,这套附赠完整解说册的制作仍堪称非凡成就。

Teldec 4509 97758-2 (2). Orgonasova, Schäfer, Wottrich, Salminen, Berlin R. Ch., BPO, Harnoncourt
Harnoncourt’s electrifying and refreshing version of this operatic warhorse was recorded live at concert performances in the Philharmonie in Berlin in 1995, and the engineers have worked wonders in conveying the atmosphere of a stage performance rather than a concert one, not least in the Wolf’s Glen scene, helped by recording of a very wide dynamic range. Harnoncourt clarifies textures and paces the drama well, making it sound fresh and new. The cast is first rate, with Orgonasova singing radiantly as Agathe, not just pure but sensuous of tone, floating high pianissimos ravishingly. Christine Schäfer, sweet and expressive, makes Ännchen into far more than just a soubrette character, and Erich Wottrich as Max is aptly heroic and unstrained, if hardly beautiful. The line-up of baritones and basses is impressive too, all firm and clear, contrasting sharply with one another, a team unlikely to be bettered today. A clear first choice among modern, digital recordings.
哈农库特1995年柏林爱乐大厅音乐会现场录音为这部歌剧经典注入令人振奋的新鲜感。工程师奇迹般还原了舞台演出的氛围(尤其动态范围惊人的"狼谷"场景),哈农库特通过清晰的织体处理与精准节奏把控赋予作品新生。奥尔加诺索娃的阿加特音色既纯净又性感,弱音高音宛如天籁;克里斯蒂娜·谢弗将安琴提升超越轻浮女仆形象;埃里希·沃特里希的马克斯虽音质欠美但英雄气概十足。男中低音阵容同样坚若磐石,彼此音色对比鲜明,堪称当代难以超越的演绎,是现代数字录音的首选版本。
