Louis Spohrs great romantical Opera
01/08/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This recording of Spohr's Faust is performed by very good singers (of the small Opera in Bielefeld/Germany). Diane Jennings is perfect in the role of Kunigunde and she lives the comlete character by her voice. The main character is sungen by Michael Vier, a warm and soft barritone. Bat the best performer is Eelco von Jordis, Mephisto himself... It is great to listen to Mephisto's words, which will Faust last kill. In this recording you are feeling the emotions of the acteurs, you become part of the opera. The "Rezitativ-Fassung" von 1852 shows, that Louis Spor (Amazom named him Ludwig) is much more than a simple violin-teacher. The Overture e.g. is a complex work."
