Title: blazing apocalyptic roars for Rysanek
Product review: I was lucky enough to be inside Carnegie Hall for this performance. The final few minutes of Act II have to be heard to be believed. Rysanek's performance was beyond Total Theater. The audience response, the wild roaring, is testment to her achievement. Luckily, the engineers don't cut off the ovation. It just keeps going on and on. Time and time again, the artists return for bows, but then Rysanek gets called back for solo bows. You might think you have heard audience hysteria before, but you have to hear this. Then the end of Act III is also followed by the prolonged audience frenzy. The sound of a packed house roaring over and over and over is something we just don't hear anymore. In case I haven't made my point, the final minutes of Act II and the audience roar that follows is probably the greatest documentation we have of the effect Leonie Rysanek had on an audience live in the house.
