Notes & Reviews:

Meistersinger is Vol.2 of the complete Wagner Edition. This edition is unique in that it is the first time a label has recorded all Wagner Opera's with the same orchestra, choir and conductor. Recorded in surround sound and includes a star soloist line-up.

"[A good Meistersinger] should show teamwork among the soloists and a good balance between the conversational style of much of the singing and the grandeur of the orchestral accompaniment. On that basis, this recording...is the most successful ever made. It is a phenomenal achievement of Marek Janowski to have welded his immense forces into such a virtually flawless unity, and to imbue it with incessant vitality and energy." -BBC Music Magazine

Reviews

Sheer delight
I bought this on the basis of the rave review in Opera News by William Braun and I haven't been disappointed. It's my fourth complete Meistersinger--the others are Karajan, Solti, and Kubelik--but it's up there with the best of them, with great sound and the freshness of a live concert performance. Dohmen is a great Sachs. What stands out most, though, is the orchestral playing. There is a wonderful lightness and transparency to the score that I've not heard in any other recording.
