Reviews
"Sawallisch obtains singing and playing on the highest level of achievement,
observant of detail, rich in texture, sure in pacing and - very important
in this score - anxious to move forward where there's any danger of the
music seeming over-extended, as in the recital of the tones and the Act
2 episode of Beckmesser's courting. Sawallisch's reading also catches the
warmth that pervades the whole opera, yet is also successfull in deftly
projecting its comedy."
