Pfitzner: Palestrina / Petrenko, Frankfurt Opera and Museum Orchestra
-----
REVIEW:
Conductor Kirill Petrenko, leader of Bayreuthâs bicentenary Ring, matches Rudolf Kempeâs recently rediscovered 1955 Salzburg performance (Walhall): theyâre both compelling story-tellers of large-scale operatic narrative who can mix and match dialogue scenes with varied tempi and dramatically appropriate orchestral balance. Frankfurtâs cast has plenty of gutsy ecclesiastical characters in the Council scene, Stallmeister and Mahnke do well by Ighino and Silla (but donât miss young Elisabeth Söderströmâs Son for Kempe), Koch is a worthy Borromeo and the whole is a triumph for British tenor Peter Bronder in the title-role.
