Harnoncourt trifft exakt das richtige Tempo und den richtigen Tonfall; die Radikalität, die unbedingte Ernsthaftigkeit und Tiefe seiner Deutung begeistern mich immer wieder neu.
It feel a little too slow Maybe N. Harnoncourt may do better, but his orchestra can't play as in this perform, if the conducter wants to play quickly?
Harnoncourt himself says, quite rightly, that pieces never really have a fixed tempo. This is before composers started using metronome marks on their scores. Nikolaus, for instance says that Beethoven would sometimes conduct his music faster than at other times, depending which time of day it was, depending on how the conductor is feeling. In the evenings generally Beethoven would conduct his music faster than in the mornings. Music is expression. You can't apply a straight jacket to it.
well in this staging they don't. and besides it doesnt matter in what tempo you play mozart, it's wonderful music no matter what, so why not experiment with it?
As usual, Harnoncourt does it his way. And this time, he wanted it slow, even very slow at times. You may love it or hate it, but you never think that it was just OK. I personally found it...well... interesting.
para mi, ese tempo es atrapante, te atrae, a veces a uno le queda bien ir un poco lento para apreciar la musica.
si me tocara escoger una version de la obertura para degustar, seria esta, la de Harnoncourt

GREAT PERFORMANCE, an extraordinary way to express Mozart´s Le Nozze di Figaro. Thanks Harnoncourt for pleasing us with beautiful performances.

But it's slow!! kind of does not go with being in hurry to get married!!

well if you see the whole opera you'll notice that they aren't at all in a hurry to get married, on the contrary, they drift more and more apart.

That's absurd. Susannah and Figaro want nothing more than to be married. sheesh.

I agree. It's boring in this tempo, it looses the spirit of Mozart's wonderful music. Too heavy....
