Italian Opera in German
By james G. Deone

Have you ever heard italian
opera in German?
Germans. of course, do all the
time. Now one of the more enter
|prising record companies seems
bent on testing the reaction here
The company is Urania, and the
operas are both by Verdi-"Rigo-
|letto" and the almost forgotten
Macbeth"
The ''Rigoletto" marshals i'm
posing forces. It was produced at
the Berlin State Opera with q
notable cast, including Helge
|Roswaenge, Margarete Klose and
Heinrich Schlusnus. The Gilda is
Erna Berger. who has the same
role in the Italian language Victor
set and thereby acquires a quite
uncommon photographic distinc-
ton. Robert Heger, a veteran
well known in Europe, conducts.
The performance is impressive
Everybody sings with enthusiasm
dramatic opportunities are ex-
plotted to the fullest, and Mr.
Heger maintains a more vital pace
than Renato Cellini in the Victor
|studio-made set. The production
really savors of the stage. Miss
Berger, too, seems to prefer her
own language. She puts a little
more into it. And she holds the
last note of "Caro nome" d.e., it:
German equivalent) breath

IL for Victor.
Teutonic Toneue-Twisters
For the non-Teutonic the lin
|guistics require tolerance, how
lever. "Caro nome" for instance
starts off ''Teurer name"-a mild
surprise. Mr.. Schlusnus is forever
crying "Meine Tochter" in place
of "figlia." and Miss Berger then
responds dutifully. 'Mein Water
And the famous ducal La donna {
mobile" becomes an umlautish 20

When it comes to fundamentals
for all this performances excite
ment. Italian remains the lido.
matte tongue. And Jan Peerce
seems to have more the voice and
style Of the ducal role than Ros-
waenge, as Leonard Warren rather
outdoes Schlusnus, despite the vo-
cal excellence of the Europeans
AS recording, the Urania set is
hampered by a slight hall echo
and by occasional shrillness to-
ward the center grooves. The IA
nous quartet is blurred. But there
is one Interior point: It's only two
discs, compared with Victor's three.
Macbeth" was composed q few
years earlier, although later re-
vised. The reason for its rare
performances Is quite evident-it
is pretty slow going, despite some
effective music, especially choruses,
Franz Werfel did the German
translation. Elizabeth Hoengen
and Matthieu Ahlersmeyer head
a cast that has plenty Of lung
power if not always the ultimate
in finesse. Karl Boehm conducts
the Vienna Philharmonic and does
an optimum job on his end. The
voices have all the best Of it,
though-they are far too loud.

it worth sampling (even in Ger
