Synopsis

Amazon.com

Though this 1960s-vintage recording has fallen out of fashion in some circles because it uses a corrupt edition of the opera with recitatives, arias, and ensembles not written by Offenbach, it remains highly listenable and boasts the greatest Hoffmann on recordings: Nicolai Gedda. His voice is youthful, focused, and marvelously flexible, able to sing the music with rare precision and authority but with the weight to project dramatic authority. The women in his flashback adventures are luxuriously cast with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf using her innate aloofness as Giulietta and Victoria de Los Angeles her innate radiance as Antonia. Stylistically, conductor André Cluytens is the master, even if he was even more authentic in his 1940s recording with an all-Opera Comique cast, which is worth seeking out on EMI imports. --David Patrick Stearns

CD Reviews

PERFECT

Payam | Iran | 06/26/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The best Hoffmann ever!
GEDDA is just perfect. Although I very much like Domingo but his Hoffmanns (Bonygne - Ozawa )are disgrace!!
A baritone Nicklausse may seem odd but when you hear Benoit you don't even think of a mezzo.
The rest of the cast are as good as one would guess and you can not find any Olympia more lovebale than Gianna D'Angelo.
Above all it is unbelievable how Cluytens manages the Orchestra.
The only drawback may be that George London's a little dry-voiced here.
I say again : "JUST PERFECT" ."
