Seiji Ozawa (conductor), Saito Kinen Orchestra -
Stravinsky: Rake's Progress (Japan Import)
(Although this is not a live recording it was made after a series of staged performances in Japan in 1995 and retains a number of ‘effects’ from them (smashing crockery, the clanking of Nick Shadow’s machine for transforming stones into bread, the cutting of cards in the graveyard scene, thunder as Shadow vanishes). More importantly it sounds like a real and sharply acted performance in, I would have said, a fairly small theatre. The cast audibly react to each other and are not afraid of using mezza voce when appropriate... McNair’s, appropriately, is a Mozartian voice: a Pamina, one might say, and her phrasing is often lovely (“Although the heart for love dare anything” is beautifully done), her Lullaby tender and touching... Rolfe Johnson is a debonair Tom... [F]rom “With roses crowned” onwards he gets closer to pathos than any Rake but Alexander Young in the composer’s own recording. He and McNair make an exquisite thing of their quietly sung, poignant “Could it then have been known?”. Adams’s diction and vocal acting are immaculate, Bunnell effectively plays Mother Goose perfectly straight as a foil to Henschel’s broad Baba (though her sincere concern for Anne in their brief scene together adds depth to the character). Bostridge is a suavely precise Sellem; if anyone is planning another recording of this opera he would surely make a splendid Rakewell. The chorus are excellent, their English crisply enunciated. Ozawa delights in the clean, bright textures of this score and, quite obviously, so do his orchestra: the solo clarinet loves the poised line of his obbligato in “Love, too frequently betrayed”, the two bassoons clearly enjoy themselves greatly in “Since it is not by merit”, and throughout there is real zest to the playing. - Michael Oliver, Gramophone [6/1997]) JPN-UCCD-4219 |

Sumi Jo (soprano), Rudolf Bibl (conductor), Vienna Volksoper Orchestra -
Echoes from Vienna - A Tribute to Johann Strauss [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] (Japan Import)
("Here is an imaginatively conceived and brilliantly executed collection of vocal Johann Strauss numbers. This is quite the most exciting performance I have heard of the original soprano solo version of Fruhlingsstimmen, with Sumi Jo's luxurious coloratura soaring gloriously over the orchestra. The vocal arrangement of the Liebeslieder-Walzer and Richard Genee's show-piece adaptation of Wo die Zitronen bluh'n are no less thrilling. But it is by no means just the coloratura pieces in which Sumi Jo excels. The characterisation she gives to the contrasted parts of the audition song from Die Fledermaus makes it as compelling an interpretation as any. The fish-selling song from Eine Nacht in Venedig comes up with equal freshness. Add the way she skips from note to note in 'Draussen in Sievering' and the gentle hiccup at the end of the 'Tipsy Song' (an adaptation of the Annen-Polka), and one has an uncommonly well- thought-out and superbly varied collection. The participation of the Vienna Volksoper players under veteran conductor Rudolf Bibl ensures the authentic style not only in the vocal items but also in the short linking orchestral pieces. I could, to be sure, have done without yet another Fledermaus Overture. It's a pity, too, that Erato claim 10 minutes' more playing time than there is, and that Michael Rot's excellently scholarly notes on the origins of each item are sadly mangled in their English translation. Nothing, though, can diminish the superlatives due to Sumi Jo's exquisite singing. -- Andrew Lamb, Gramophone [2/2000]) JPN-WPCS-12343 |

While she is not an obvious candidate for the role of Violetta, her `Ah fors'e lui' instantly compels the listener's attention... The orchestral playing, conducting, recording, and presentation are all of a high standard and contibute to a wholly delightful experience.") JPN-WPCS-12346 |
