| | Amazon.com: Der Gerettete Alberich / Violin Concerto / Rapture: Music: Christopher Rouse,Evelyn Glennie,Cho-Liang ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | I see Alberich is alive and well, you know evil,the transgressive or "Other" it is required for Wagner's dramturgy at least in the Ring is propelled forward by this as his other operas only different characters as Klingsor,or Amfortas. |
 | | Even the refined percussive artistry of Evelyn Glennie really cannot save this monolith for the Cash Box, something Alberich would have loved,although Alberich gave up love to have power, he renounced his lechery in the opening scenes in Das Rheingold, the opening of the RING no fornications with the Rhine Maidens. |
 | | The opening 2 movements of "Alberich", referencing the nasty character in Wagner's RING, are positively superb, with an element of unresolved tension building throughout. |
