Prom 41 (12.8.12): Schoenberg – Gurrelieder

[Resurrection Man]

Finest Gurrelieder recording for me is that from Kubelik on DG. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gurre-Lieder...5842554&sr=1-1

Thank you, Petrushka, for the reference. Duly ordered.

I was looking forward to hearing this today, after a wonderful experience in the hall. Great - until the climaxes came and someone turned down some knobs, thus spoiling the effect (at least on FM). Did anyone feel the same thing?

Whenever I get emotionally excited, my voice gets louder and louder so as to maximise its effect.

Well, we all know that FM dynamics suffer from being mangled by Optimod.
