Description:

Nicolai Gedda and Rita Gorr make for a captivating duo as Werther and Charlotte. Gedda’s polished tenor exudes the refinement of the title character, but it is his striking emotional intensity that truly ignites this performance. Gorr’s commanding mezzo-soprano is the stuff of legend, and this recording captures the full force of her voice. What makes her portrayal remarkable is that, despite the sheer power of her instrument, her Charlotte still retains the youthful essence of the character. Theodor Uppman lends both elegance and vocal luster to the role of Albert.
