Query: A nice choice (maybe) for von Stade's fans

The blistering two-star review below has the facts right but may be too harsh in its judgments. Von Stade has countless fans who might want to hear her at her freshest in 1976 as Oktavian, and there's a passing glimpse of Jose Carreras as the Italian tenor. De Waart conducts deliberately; he wins good playing from his Rotterdam orchestra and warm sonics from Decca. But Bastin's voice is too lean for Baron Ochs, and his German pronunciation is stilted, as are his attempts to be Viennese. Welting is adequate as Sophie. The real question as to listenability is Lear's fragile Marschallin, whose fading voice actualy helps develop the image of a vulnerable, aging woman, too old for Strauss's conception but still touching.In the end, there's too much wrong to make this a good Rosenkavalier, but the intimate scenes between Von Stade and Lear have their moments.
