Title: Don't buy this one
Review: Bernstein conducts this Rosenkavalier better than anyone else ever did. What a great performance this could have been. But Lenny was rather desperate during the recording: nearly all his singers had problems with their voices or were simply indisposed. Christa Ludwig sounds like the grandmother of the Marschallin and Gwyneth Jones is the worst Octavian ever - a gruesome performance. Only Walter Berry had a good day. This recording cannot compete with Karajans 1956 performance or Soltis Decca recording.
