ADOLPHE ADAM
MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Adam: Giselle
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan
[ Decca Ovation / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 15 May 1987
"While superbly conducted, superlatively played, and sumptuously recorded, this Giselle is no will-o'-the-wisps, but rather is full-bodied and hot-blooded with charms that are hardly ephemeral and thoroughly palpable. From the lush winds to the plush strings, from the opulent sonorities to the intoxicating rhythms, from the rich textures to the ravishing colors, this Giselle will give the willies only to those phobic to aural seduction." (AllMusic)
" [this] disc shows Karajan at his best in music that he excelled in . . . Balances are pretty natural, and the winds and horns ring out as they must " (ClasicalNet)
