The names more than lived up to the billing and this was overall the best Don G I've ever heard. <br /><br />Anna was just about as good I've heard her. The other female principals (common to the Salzburg 2002 production) were on superb form. Pape, a favorite singer, had actually been something of a disappointment as Leporello in earlier experiences but was particularly good here. In this company Ervin was somewhat bellow the tremendous level of the other pirincipals and was on balance somewhat better at the Met last year. By any absolute standard, however he was excellent. Moreover, there was a real chemistry and sense of occasion.<br /><br />Again, it would be highly desirable for a recording to come about and if I were making decisions at DG (or whoever else might be responsible - although there may of course be contactual constrains) I would make sure this was commercially available.marcillachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890948953007381186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656305273324419856.post-63383007862563749252009-12-27T11:27:14.296+01:002009-12-27T11:27:14.296+01:00Why isn't it possible to put 15 or 20 items in...Why isn't it possible to put 15 or 20 items in a top-10-list? ;-)) From a personal point of view I would definitely squeeze in Anna's MANON in Berlin (2007) and her Giulietta from I CAPULETI in Paris (2008) AND in London (2009). Make it a top-13-list, please! ;-))<br />Best wishes, HerbertKlassikfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08477649275704580375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656305273324419856.post-66548507296670737352009-12-25T01:21:38.674+01:002009-12-25T01:21:38.674+01:00You were really lucky to be able to attend one of ...You were really lucky to be able to attend one of the 2006 Met Japan Tour...

I would also not her excellent Met Zerlina.<br /><br />As luck would have it, I was in Japan on business during the Met tour in 2006 and was fortunate enough to get tickets to a couple of the Don G performances where her Donna Anna was even better than previously at Salzburg.marcillachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890948953007381186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656305273324419856.post-6702295403605804552009-12-25T00:29:08.784+01:002009-12-25T00:29:08.784+01:00Hehehe... yeah, AL... I knew that you would say th...Hehehe... yeah, AL... I knew that you would say that... well, that you would include those Capuleti... As I said, it's not easy to pick just ten... <br /><br />Making the choice I have included those that have played a key role in her career in terms of impact, such as La Traviata from Salzburg, War and Peace from NY, Don Giovanni from Salzburg. La Traviata from London was her first big success at the ROH and it was an outstanding performance, in particular the one that I was lucky enough to attend. <br /><br />La Bohème at the Mariinsky was a very special performance in which both Anna and Rolando were at their very best, with an amazing chemistry between them. Furthermore as I said it was a very special performance because it was Anna's first Mimi, Roalndo's debut at the Mariinsky and Gergiev's first time conducting La Bohème.<br /><br />The performances of Anna and Rolando along 2005 and 2006 were spectacular. Among those L'Elisir d'Amore and Roméo et Juliette in Wien. <br /><br />The Iolanta in Baden-Baden was Anna's role debut. A fantastic performance in a role very well suited for her.<br /><br />The concert at the Waldbuhne was unforgettable with Anna, Rolando and Plácido. <br /><br />The Liederabend in Salzburg spectacular.<br /><br />Other top performances of Anna were as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni in London with Erwin singing the title role, I Capuleti e I Montecchi in Paris and London, Le Nozze di Figaro in Salzburg,... many more indeed! ;)Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519033651140851117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656305273324419856.post-65630788865591235212009-12-24T17:45:42.432+01:002009-12-24T17:45:42.432+01:00A pesar de que hay alguna cosita que no he visto, ...A pesar de que hay alguna cosita que no he visto, me parece muy buena tu clasificación.
