Renée Fleming, S. Graham - Rosenkavalier - Marschallin's Monologue - RARE LIVE (1997) Strauss
Paris Live 1997
Marschallin: Renée Fleming
Octavian: Susan Graham
Conductor: Edo de Waart
This is one of my favourite scenes in all opera. Fleming and Graham are in their prime and are ideal exponents of their roles - the next year they recorded the scene with breathtakingly luminous results on the disc "Strauss Heroines". Here live, we get incredibly beautiful music making from all, so many touching moments and a wonderful sense of collaboration between the artists. In my opinion, though very fine, this is not Fleming's very best "Da geht er hin", but as soon as Octavian enters "Ach, du bist wieder da" the scene catches fire and we are privy to thrilling theatre. It's less refined but more passionate than the studio recording - I'm very pleased to have both. The Bastille has a famously terrible acoustic, so Fleming has said that she always "sang out" when she was performing there.
0:00 Da geht er hin
5:12 Ach, du bist wieder da
8:47 Bis in mein Herz hinein
11:00 Die Zeit die ist ein sondarbar Ding
15:54 Heut oder Morgen
17:58 Ich werd jetzt in den Kirchen gehen
21:04 Ich hab Ihn nicht einmal gekusst!

Wow! How different from her later Strauss opera singing. And the music. It all flows different. I like it and some high notes are just gorgious❣️🎶❣️Not to mention the chest notes. Marvelous❤️🎼❤️

chaan280 it's similar to the Strauss heroines disc, which is the greatest Strauss disc ever, but more projected because of the ridiculously bad acoustics of the Bastille.

Great moments of opera I actually saw the Il Trovatore on the 4th of July at the Bastille and I see what you mean. Thanks for the tip on the heroines!

Just listened to Die zeit from the Heroine disc ( on iTunes) and IT WAS MAGICAL❣️❣️❣️Will order!!! I like to have the booklets that comes with the CDs. Have you listened to her Schubert 1997 recording lately? I am kind of stuck to it. Need it every day now. It just makes me so happy and Nacht und Träume is exquisite. Never want it to end. Eschenbachs playing I think is also very artistic and the symbiosis of these peoples artistry makes this cd a piece of Art to cherish.🎼💕In my opinion anyway.😉

Dominique Rousselle amazing. The 2009 version is one of the most moving pieces of acting Fleming did, along with her Tatyana. Would be fascinated to see it 12 years earlier!!!

As far as acting is at stake I feel even more overwelmed by emotion with her recent farewell to the role .... there is something I feel that is so personal that she is not really acting here anymore ... I feel very deeply that it resonates with her actual personal experience so deeply (maybe not in the details of the love affair but at least she really has to go thru renunciation process for sure as we all have to do at this age) that it is almost unbearably breaking my heart each time I see the end of act 1 in a quite catharsistic way ... of course the voice may not be as glorious as it was in 2009 ... but speaking of drama and incarnation ... I also find Carsen a genius director especially in this piece and it brings a lot to the drama of course (his Oneguin was beautiful too, but not so full of brillant insightful ideas combined with perfect and renewed esthetics) ... also the magnificent performance of Garanča is maybe my favorite ever on video along with Fassbaender (they have this boyish almost manlish color is their voice, and demeanor that brings so much credibility in the action !) ... but all of this is extremely personal ... almost intimate ... that is the reason why one could be so deeply touched in fact .. and on the other hand also a reason to definitely see this as a personal opinion with no pretention to be "right" whatsoever ...

Dominique Rousselle I agree about how personal the role is for Fleming, and how it's almost simply her. I saw the London performances of Carsen's Rosenkavalier and found the staging clever and apt, but unmoving, boring, fussy and essentially just a copy of his Salzburg production. So much of the blocking felt rather stagey and inorganic too. Perhaps it worked better up close in the cinema? And maybe the Met cast was more convincing? I will have to look for the DVD.
