oh fa fuk's sake i wanna hear the schoenberg pelleas und mellisande not this one

[ggnzlz2008]

La dirección de Boulez sigue la sonoridad de la de Jean Fournet de 1954.

Maravillosa ópera.

[billyguns2]

You are absolutely correct; the sonority is exactly the same as Maestro Fournet's approach, cold, formidable. I have always felt this to be the right approach; these are not warm people or climates.

[jmg1959]

On pourrait retourner à Debussy le compliment qu'il faisait à Wagner à propos d'une page de "Parsifal": "lun des plus beaux monuments sonores que lon ait élevés à la gloire imperturbable de la musique."

[billyguns2]

Gorgeous! One of a handful of my all time favorite operas, I was once looked at askance by a date who never bothered to return my calls after he saw I had eleven recordings of this opera on my shelves!

[LJBSasha]

Let that be his loss!! [This plus Shostakóvich's "Lady Macbeth of Mcjénsk District" and Wagner's "Parsifal" are my three operatic favourites.]

Excellent singing and decent staging & set. The orchestral sound is too dry - apparently Boulez is still out to "burn the mist off" from Debussy?

4 out of 5 stars

@billyguns2

so which one is the best ?

[billyguns2]

@vanpo06Thanks for asking: I love all eleven recordings I own of PELLEAS ET MELISANDE; to call one the "best" is an exercise in futility. The ones tow which I keep returning are the 1964 Decca/London stereo Ansermet with Spoorenberg/Maurane/London; the DGG Abbado with Ewing and the best Pelleas of them all; the 1953 Fournet; and the 1962 Disques Montaigne (hard to find) conducted by Inghelbrecht. There are other cherishable individual performances on the other sets as well.

[vanpo06]

@billyguns2 thank you for this precisions j will get one j think the Decca one

If you like Debussy, maybe you know Paul Dukas ? J' m reading his biography ; he was a close and a very good friend of Debussy as a famous and very well known composer and musical critic
