BÉLA BARTÓK IL CASTELLO DI BARBABLU (A Kékszakállú herceg vára) Barbablu – Walter BerryJudith - Christa Ludwig London Symphony OrchestraIstván Kertész Registrazione in studio / stu dio recording, London 1965 Classics Today"The two protagonists are superb, Christa Ludwig in particular...Her high C at the opening of the fifth door indicates that she had nothing to fear from the competition...[Berry] offers an equally compelling, intelligent take on the enigmatic title character, and István Kertész's conducting is as idiomatic as one could wish. In short, this is a classic performance of a great work, one that in many ways has never been surpassed" "Kertész shapes the music admirably, and Walter Berry makes an appropriately compassionate Bluebeard (as opposed to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau on DG, who is altogether too menacing); but neither Berry, nor, for all the beauty of her tone, Christa Ludwig sound idiomatically Hungarian."
