		The singers are fine, their voices beautiful, and the sound is actually quite passable, but the greatness of this performance derives from the players' total commitment: they sing Hansel and Gretel as if it were Tosca or Trovatore.
		Casting her as Gretel is an unusual choice (she normally took on slightly weightier roles -- she and Grummer, in fact, sang many of the same parts) and while she has to work to sound childlike, her way with the text is unmatched by any recorded Gretel.
		Her minx-like teasing of Hansel or her gauzy wonder at the appearance of the gingerbread house are just two notable examples.

		The Vorspiel, or Prelude to Hansel und Gretel (like Wagner, Humperdinck was a fiercely patriotic German and preferred not to use the French term "Overture"!) is an affectionate homage to Wagner’s Tannhauser overture.

		The atmosphere of the fairy tale is preserved, which perhaps explains why the opera has remained so popular.
