5 out of 5 stars DSD Makes them sound better!.......2006-04-05

This SACD of the Bizet and Grieg Suites started out life as a

Telarc L.P. DG 10048 then is was released on CD, now it has been

remasterd and issued as a Hybrid SACD that plays in stereo.

These perfomances were recorded using the Soundstream System

which were done at 50kHz. CD's were done at 44.1 which meant

that some of the great sound of the recordings were lost when

being transfered to CD. Fortunatly the SACD uses something

called Direct Stream Digital or DSD. This allows the origianl

50kHz sound to be heard on a disc as it was meant to be heard.

As for the performances Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis

Symphony deliver some sonic knockouts! At just over 79:00

minutes you get alot for your money. Great sound! Room filling

speaker demonstraiting, lease busting performances! The Rimsky-

Korsakov " Russian Easter Overture" is worth the price of the

disc alone!

    4 out of 5 stars Urgently recommended despite some production missteps.......2007-01-07

    This premiere recording makes some very beautiful music available for the first time. The opera was first performed in 1936, and Vaughan Williams continued to make revisions into the mid 1950s. The music is representative of the composer's mature style. In the opera's later version given here, Evelyn Sharp's original book was revised by Ursula Vaughan Williams.

    The Poisoned Kiss is a romantic comedy, a fairy tale about the triumph of true love over revenge. The opera is not through-sung; rather, the dramatic action is carried forward by dialogue in a manner reminiscent of Gilbert and Sullivan or the West End. At times, the witty, good-naturedly sarcastic text and playful rhyme schemes are reminiscent of Noel Coward.

    The musicians are just about ideal. Hickox leads a luscious performance, capturing by turn the music's pastoral beauty and (not very threatening) irony. The singers are of uniformly high quality, with the characterization and fresh voices of James Gilchrist and Janice Watson as the young lovers deserving special mention. Anne Collins's fruity, wide-vibratoed contralto at times seems to be a musical caricature, but it works nicely in the role.

    The production has two major flaws. First, the sound image is placed rather distant from the listener. I felt as if I were sitting towards the back of the auditorium and wanted to move up closer to the stage. The SACD's surround mode did add compensatory perspective and body to the sound, as well as a little extra punch to the thunder, cat shrieks, and other fairy-tale sound effects. The two-channel version sounded significantly flatter and more distant. Second, almost all of the dialogue has been omitted. It would have been enjoyable to hear the music in its dramatic context. Indeed, the abrupt juxtaposition of musical numbers that in performance would be separated by dialogue and a shift of dramatic tone is sometimes jarring. With less than an hour on each disc (and with singers who display such fine diction and acting skills), this is a major missed opportunity. Fortunately, the dialogue is printed in the libretto.

    Despite these quibbles, this set is still urgently recommended!
