The casting of the radiant Helen Donath as Gretel, the theatrical Christa Ludwig as the witch, the vibrant Anna Moffo as Hansel, and the noble but lovable Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as the father would have been sufficient to secure this recording's fame as the best version of "Hansel and Gretel" ever committed to disc. However, to cast Lucia Popp as the Dew Fairy and Arleen Auger as the Sandman was a master stroke. And, the excellent Charlotte Berthold is an added bonus as the mother. Leading this array of vocal riches, Kurt Eichhorn produces a reading that accentuates the detail and color of the score more than any other, drawing out the richness of the orchestration with astonishing success. This is a marvelous recording indeed. Eichhorn is the real star of the show, succeeding better than any other conductor on CD in balancing and clarifying the orchestral textures to bring out the constant variety and rhythmic impetus with which Humperdinck filled the work; his orchestra plays radiantly for him; note his success at continuing the momentum of the Act III Prelude through the Dew Fairy's scene (the character simply explodes into life), where Lucia Popp seizes her opportunity in a zestful way that obliterates all other interpreters of the role. Helen Donath has a vocal quality and personality that make her a natural, irresistable Gretel; every phrase is realized to. Dietrich Fisher-Dieskau, in his best voice and on his best behavior, unites the composer's musical instructions into a memorable and lovable portrayal of the father. Arleen Auger is a superb Sandman, Anna Moffo is a deliciously energetic and musical Hansel, and Charlotte Berthold is a strong voiced, characterful Mother. But, the real treasure is Christa Ludwig's Witch; with her rich voice, she sings every note firmly and characterizes every line brilliantly. This is a collection of highlights that belongs in every collection!
