Mozart: Così fan tutte
Elsa Dreisig (Fiordiligi), Marianne Crebassa (Dorabella), Lea Desandre (Despina), Bogdan Volkov (Ferrando), André Schuen (Guglielmo), Johannes Martin Kränzle (Don Alfonso)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Joana Mallwitz, Christof Loy (stage director)
It’s frankly difficult to imagine a better-cast Così today...Mallwitz really makes Mozart’s score zing, keeping the Vienna Philharmonic light on their toes. — More…

Strauss, R: Salome
RecommendedTeresa Stratas (Salome), Bernd Weikl (Jochanaan), Astrid Varnay (Herodias), Hans Beirer (Herodes), Wieslaw Ochman (Narraboth), Hanna Schwarz (Ein Page)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Karl Böhm
Stratas's sinuous child-woman comes close to the ideal in Friedrich's glitzy but unnerving film, strongly cast throughout and superbly conducted. — More…

RecommendedCorinne Winters (Kát’a), Evelyn Herlitzius (Kabanicha), David Butt Philip (Boris), Jaroslav Březina (Tichon), Jarmila Balážová (Varvara), Benjamin Hulett (Váňa), Jens Larsen (Dikój)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Wiener Staatsopernchor, Jakub Hrůša, Barrie Kosky
Winters is utterly remarkable throughout, words and gestures always telling...Despite Kosky’s occasional idiosyncrasies, this is musically overwhelming. You really do need to hear it. — More…

Puccini: Il Trittico
RecommendedAsmik Grigorian (Lauretta/Giorgetta/Suor Angelica), Misha Kiria (Schicchi), Karita Mattila (La Zia Principessa), Roman Burdenko (Michele), Joshua Guerrero (Luigi), Alexey Neklyudov (Rinuccio)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Franz Welser-Möst, Christof Loy
[in Suor Angelica] Grigorian holds the stage almost throughout; a performance of heartrending vocal beauty and equally potent vocal characterisation...You might feel Loy pushes it too far but... — More…

Strauss: Salome
Asmik Grigorian (Salome), John Daszak (Herod), Anna Maria Chiuri (Herodias), Gábor Bretz (Jokanaan), Julian Prégardien (Narraboth)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Franz Welser-Möst
Grigorian’s voice is on the lighter side of dramatic soprano, but it gleams from the mid-range to the top with a bright timbre that doesn’t grow shrill as it ascends. She uses her voice fearlessly—as... — More…

Wiener Staatsoper, Franz Welser-Möst, Krzysztof Warlikowski
The playing, as one might expect, is matchless. Despite its eccentricities, I found the whole thing utterly compelling. Highly recommended. — More…
