Oh, this is marvellous! Unlike in most other productions (and most other KZitem clips of this piece, for that matter) - featuring (often glorious) oratorio-style singing - here we really see and hear three people in a difficult situation, trying to come to terms with each other, as well as with themselves. Thus, the great climaxes towards the end of the trio aren't merely a demonstration of vocal prowess and beauty, but moments of catharsis for the three characters. Of course, Gwyneth Jones (who is, in my view, all in all one of the greatest interpreters of the Marschallin) cannot compete with, say, Kiri Te Kanawa or Elisabeth Schwarzkopf when it comes to the firmness and evenness of the vocal line or the pianissimi in the high register, but on the other hand she never contents herself with just good or correct singing, but gives every note a meaning. And she proves herself once more to be an outstanding actress. Brigitte Fassbaender with her dark and individual timbre, and the full lyric and totally un-soubrettish Sophie of Lucia Popp are three-dimensional characters, each acting out their own conflicts. And yet, how these almost contrasting timbres blend perfectly in the duet! And to top it all: Has anyone on stage ever looked more hopelessly and helplessly in love than Fassbaender just before the duet?

Ein Beispiel wie Carlos Kleiber es verstand die Farben der Musik aus dem Orchester hervorquellen zu lassen... - nicht umsonst wurde er in einer BBC-Umfrage zum größten Dirigenten der Welt gewählt. - Heinz

In 1982 I heard Carlos Kleiber conduct “Der Rosenkavalier” at the Munich Staatsoper. Brigitte Fassbänder was Oktavian and Gwynth Jones was the Marschallin (the Sophie I don’t remember), but the most interesting point in the performance came when, a few minutes into the trio shown here, Kleiber laid down the baton and fully leaned back against the rear bar on the podium with his arms folded across his chest, and he simply let the orchestra play and the singers sing. He did this for a few minutes, and then resumed his work, but I will never forget the look on his face-he looked supremely satisfied and warmly appreciative of what was unfolding before him.

@@brigittekohne22 We are enjoying singing, acting and conducting of these outstanding artists. We are not interested in storys about having affairs or not. Lucia Popp died nearly 29 and Carlos Kleiber about 18 years ago. They cannot defend themselves against these rumors. So be quiet, let them rest in peace and keep your mouth shut!

Yo no entiendo porque el compositor asignó una mujer para ese papel porque si existen los contraTenor no existe las voces para varones que cubran ese mismo registro en voces de varones? Igual me parece con la obra Euridici.
