Awfull recording!
When hearing this track of Dvorak's "Rusalka",
"O moon in the deep deep sky",
i did not get that fine imagination of the ultimate
expression of female tenderness, fragility, care, beauty,
which this composition should give. A mermaid fallen in love.
Not that tender touching of the words, in the pronounciation.
Not a fluent synchronious orchestra.
Neither did i hear a quiet bright sound,
like one expects on a very lonesome quiet night.
On the edge of a romantic lake with ribbling
fullmoon-reflections in the water, and gentle soft,
allmost inaudible, warm breezing backgroundsound
of that water wind, and owls in the distance.
I prefer the recordings of Eva Urbanova,
Frederica von Stade ('Dvorak in Prague'),
and Renée Fleming.
Listening to them gives tears of tenderness,
a quiet compassion for a tender woman in need.
One can compare it via youtube, for example,
or in a shop. Rusalka is a very beautiful opera.
What i heard in this recording was a scraping sound,
and a performance of a less quality than average.
Haino.
(Relive the beauty in opera. )
