I prefer a lighter-toned Sandman, but Diana Montague cannot be faulted vocally or for her gentle singing, and Sarah Tynan's Dew Fairy is lovely. Rosalind Plowright's Mother is strong (she might have made a good Witch) and Robert Hayward sings the Father's music brightly (Mackerras leads his entrance \"Tra-la-la-las\" nice and quickly). Orchestra and chorus are superb. This set is a pleasure--the ideal Hansel in English, and perhaps in any language. -- ClassicsToday.com, Robert Levine, June 2008\n\nThe best English-language Hansel and Gretel on CD is Chandos's 2007 release, which features veteran Hansel enthusiast Charles Mackerras pacing the brother-and-sister act of Jennifer Larmore and Rebecca Evans. Larmore's Hansel is joined by Ruth Ziesak's Gretel in Donald Runnicles's engaging 1994 German-language performance (Teldec). Herbert von Karajan's star-studded 1953 recording (EMI) still glows, thanks to the magic teamwork of its two Elisabeths -- Grümmer (Hänsel) and Schwarzkopf (Gretel). -- Opera News, January 2010\n\nProduct Description\n\n2008 GRAMMY Award Winner - Opera Performance\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000PMGSCW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000PMGSCW.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Engelbert Humperdinck|Philharmonia Orchestra|Sir Charles Mackerras|Jennifer Larmore|Rebecca Evans|Jane Henschel|Rosalind Plowright|Robert Hayward|Sarah Tynan|Diana Montague\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
