The central character, the Empress half-spirit, half-human, and unable to bear children until she finds a shadow here becomes a young soprano who makes a voyage of personal and professional discovery as she records the opera. A superb cast fulfils the complex vocal and dramatic demands of the piece while Christian Thielemann and the Vienna Philharmonic rise gloriously to the challenges of Strauss's most ambitious and splendid operatic score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_TRANSPARENT_BACKGROUND_19f1f35f-afe7-485f-87bf-810c8e4ae222_480x480.png?v=1639501892\"\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"review\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"[The Empress] is central throughout, compellingly acted and luminously sung by the marvellous Anne Schwanewilms...Orchestral detail has tremendous clarity and the documentary extra includes pithy insights from cast and crew.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(BBC Music Magazine)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"review\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Loy's Personregie works well for nearly every singer...Schwanewilms's Empress embodies dignified feminine beauty and dignity.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(International Record Review)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eExtra features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChristian Thielemann rehearses 'Die Frau Ohne Schatten'.Cast Gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"OPUS ARTE","offers":[{"title":"Gould\/Schwanewilms\/Vienna Philharmonic","offer_id":40276106576068,"sku":"809478010722","price":3.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/products\/612AfFnPaPL._SL1200.jpg?v=1639751024","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/de-de\/products\/strauss-richard-die-frau-ohne-schatten","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
