Thomas F. Dillingham
4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting performance
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2001
As my comments on the recent Rattle/Hampson recording of this opera have indicated, I have been delighted by the discovery of "King Roger," an opera I had not heard before a few weeks ago. I was curious to hear another performance, and so acquired this recording and have only increased my enthusiasm for the work. This performance features more robust and assertive performances by the singers and a somewhat more driving style from the conductor. Where Rattle's performance is elegant and sumptuous, conductor Karol Stryja creates an intense dramatic atmosphere that has a rougher but still powerful quality. The singers are all strong, though the voices would not be characterized as conventionally beautiful. Barbara Zagorzanka's Roxana is more powerful than Szmytka on the Rattle set, but her voice gets wiry and tense in the upper register. Both Andrzej Hiolski's King Roger and Henryk Grychnik's Edrisi are strongly sung and acted. The role of the Shepherd is the weak link on this recording, as is the case on the Rattle--it seems to be a very demanding role and needs a tenor who combines lyric qualities with the power of a heldentenor. The orchestra and chorus are very fine, but not as consistently powerful as Rattle's forces. Overall, this recording can be strongly recommended, if only because it is so inexpensive and makes available a wonderful opera at a very reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Szymanowski's masterpiece
Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2009
Verified Purchase
I got hooked on Szymanowski by the Stabat Mater and moved on to other vocal/choral works, the violin concertos, chamber and piano works etc. -- didn't try this one until now because i'm not a big opera fan. But now i would call Krol Roger the pinnacle of his work, and it's given a beautiful performance here, atmospheric or dramatic as needed, with excellent sound. The opera is just a little too long to fit on one disc, but the 10-minute bonus on the 2nd disc is also a treat, and the main work would be worth the Naxos price even without it. I think anyone who likes Stravinsky's Rossignol or Oedipus Rex, or Szymanowski's Third Symphony, will love this.
