My husband is a Beethoven fan and so was particularly keen to hear it and praised all the singers. I thought it was interesting to contrast "Gott, welch' Dunkel hier" with the Sehnsucht version. For all those who do not like Fidelio, that's fair enough - it would be a dull world.....but at least it has a happy ending! thanks O.C...Loislossiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763771756608482599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-24380931274188514932010-09-05T15:39:18.581+02:002010-09-05T15:39:18.581+02:00Hi lois!

It's certainly dry because I was in the middle of doing something work related, but it contains useful information ;) <br /><br />Sorry for all your troubles.

I had DR2 all set up to listen last evening, early morning in Australia when Melbourne was hit with a tremendous storm, heavy rain and gale force winds. About 2.00 a.m. the power failed due to trees falling on the powerlines. I am so sad that I missed this second broadcast and wonder whether anyone knows if there will be another repeat. By al accounts this was a very special night.

This was a stellar cast on top form under a great conductor. The CD release of these shows will be the best Fidelio recording since Karajan 40 years ago. I can assure the previous poster that my enthusiasm for Fedelio (sic) isn't pretence, but based on having performed the opera more than a dozen times in pro choruses. If you don't like it, fine, but why not get the recording when i comes out?
