Review British Music Collection / Various Artists:This two-CD set of works by Britten and Walton is truly the stuff of legend. Set down over two sessions in May and October 1944, this, the first recording of Britten's glorious Serenade, enshrines a wholly cherishable document. With the composer himself wielding the baton, a sublimely articulate contribution from that doyen of horn-players Dennis Brain, and the youthful Peter Pears' tenor voice never captured more freshly by the microphones, it's a reading whose tingling sense of new disco very easily overcomes the comparatively unexpansive acoustic (as well as the rather crackly surface-noise of the original 78s). As for the 1953 performance of Façade, it will surely always remain one of the timeless classics of the gramophone. The redoubtable Edith Sitwell delivers her texts with inimitable character and authority, and Pears is superb too. Anthony Collins accompanies with terrific swagger, and so breathtakingly realistic and full-bodied is Decca's mono sound, you'll find it hard to believe you're not listening to stereo. Four of Britten's folksong settings round off proceedings and show the Pears/Britten partnership operating at its headily inspirational best. It is, in a word, essential-but why no texts in the booklet for the Walton? -Andrew Achenbach.

Review Beethoven: Fidelio / Teldec:This interesting new Fidelio-one of over a dozen available - has a couple of things going very much in its favour, and a couple against it as well. A great pro is the leadership of Daniel Barenboim, who wrings from the orchestra and chorus fabulous playing and singing; just on a symphonic level, this is worth hearing. Barenboim also paces the work sensibly-those who do not like huge, glacial performances of this opera or the "new school" of Beethoven conducting that seems to prefer racing through his music will welcome the inner tension Barenboim deeply understands in the music as well as his sympathy for his singers. This set grew out of a live performance in which all dialogue was cut and replaced, at times, with a flashback narration by Leonore. Here we get only the music Beethoven composed with no dialogue at all; the text Leonore spoke is printed in the accompanying booklet. It's not enough-one misses some dialogue, however brief and abbreviated, between numbers. This seems like a set of highlights without any. The quality of the soloists varies: Soile Isokoski and Werner Güra make a nice pair of youngsters; René Pape's Rocco is exactly the right combination of toady and good guy and he sings gloriously, and Falk Struckmann draws Pizarro villainously and manages his way around the difficult music. Domingo's Florestan is handsomely sung-almost too Italianately beautiful at times-but well thought through, and if not quite on the Jon Vickers level, certainly not terribly far away. Waltraud Meier's career continues to astonish. [+]This pushed-up mezzo with an ugly tone has intelligence and passion in her voice, but the sound is curdled. Doesn't anyone notice that she sings off key and harshly half the time? So, a mixed bag: Domingo and Barenboim fans will need this, but it's like getting only a part of Fidelio (Barenboim, by the way, begins the opera with the Leonore Overture No. 2; an appendix includes the other three overtures Beethoven wrote for this work), and Meier is outclassed by every other Leonore on CD. -Robert Levine.

Review Bizet: Carmen / Deutsche Grammophon:This is a super performance, slightly outside the common mould. In 1977, when this was recorded, Claudio Abbado was a great opera conductor, filled with sharp insights and a nice sense of the architecture of whole operas. He always seemed to know where he was going, and his ability to build to climaxes was second to none. Abbado has a rather elegant Carmen here in the smallish-voiced, introspective Teresa Berganza, a gorgeous singer who patently refuses to force her voice or her character into vulgarity. It's a fine reading. Placido Domingo is at his best in both intimate and maniacal moments, and Ileana Cotrubas's Micaela almost makes us care about this sappy little gal. Sherrill Milnes's Escamillo has plenty of swagger and voice. Berganza's subtlety combined with the wild passions of those around her make this a very good Carmen indeed. -Robert Levine.
