Mozart Idomeneo Fuor Del Mar

[AJMD08]

FINALLY!!!! Someone who approaches the coloratura lightly, and gracefully...Instead of just blasting through it and making it sound klutzy!!...Or just cutting it out altogether!!! FANTASTIC!!!

[Amicofritz889]

totalmente inadeguato dal punto di vista vocale, senza dubbio...

[theulkar]

completamente inadeguato per questo ruolo. in grande difficoltà con poco spessore vocale per rendere con eloquenza le agilità

[vully70]

My problem with this recording ist Bostridges british accent - and the last cadenza which lacks elegance.

I still prefer Rolfe-Johnson or Vargas.

[SatanAteMySocks]

@vully70 What about Richard Croft?

[forallyouknow]

Excellent! Excellent rendition of this aria di bravura! Bostridge isn't at all bothered by the coloratura demands. If only he had a solid trill...

[Elried]

i like bostridge in schubert. but this is too ball-less in my opinion, although the coloturas are great

[beethomozart]

long live mozart, no wonder mozart considered this aria as his most splendid composed

[elias12186]

It is not, where did you read this?

[beethomozart]

i didn´'t say this, it was said by johannes chrysostomus wolfangus theophilus "amadeus" himself as is quoted in several biographys

[elias12186]

I've never read so.

[philipvanlidth]

@elias12186 However, it is true.

[ivanopera]

lui e non idomeneo, non mi piace

[MmeFigaro]

virility has nothing to do with heroism. In the contrary. Heroes are persons with interior strength, sensibility and humanity. That's why I like very much Bostridge in this part. I heard he sings now also Ariodante. And at least, i find his voice also very drammatic, in the upper tessitura fast baritonale, not only sweet and delicate. A complete artist. I'm e great fan of him. He opened the way to sensibile singers to sing with their natural voice and personality without becoming controtenors.

[taillia]

Absolutely without strenght and without virility... Don't forget that Idomeneo is a king ! Then, the ornaments are rather poor ! I prefer 1000 times Vargas, among the actuals Idomeneo.

[agnellodei]

Yeah, and let's remember it was written for a castrato.

[elias12186]

No it wasn't...Idamante was the castrato. It was written for a 60 year old man.

[elsawagner]

I absolutely adore Ian Bostridge and his pure, plangent, silvery small voice ... which is just completely wrong for this part, IMO. There is delicacy and beauty here, but no force, which is, I think, what the part requires.

[tetasdevirgen]

One of the best Idomenes, his light voice takes some years off the character, so oftenly portrayed by heroic tenors
