Mozart Overture to THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO - Rene Jacobs

[ensamistan2]

René is Magic!!!!!!!!!!

[BlueCougar]

Mozart isn't "ancient music". And that's the problem. This performance is acceptable... if compared to Jacobs's abysmal rendition of Mozart's "Jupiter" symphony with the Freiburg Baroque(!) orchestra. A successful attempt to suck every drop of life out of that masterpiece.

@BlueCougar

Do you think that people who like these performances will read your comment and say "Ah! Now I see it! This performance is bad!" ? Or are you under the impression that your opinion is of such weight that it would simply be immoral to withhold it from the world?

[zoptrikeman]

It is a great performance... Rene Jacobs is phenomenon on ancient music...

Pessima direzioneee !!! Il violino è stato totalmente surclassato dalla tromba nonono!!!

[morindhe]

I can hardly understand the negative comments here. To me, this is lithe, exciting performance. I must get the DVD.

I think this masterpiece demonstrates more than any of his

other works the brilliance and genius of Mozart. I can listen

to the glory and majesty of this overture over and over again

and never get tired of it.

I don't really like how they are accenting almost the first beat in every measure

[jmccarty3]

@RyaZila24, that's because you know nothing about historically informed performance practice.

@jmccarty3 you forgot to put quotes around "historically informed" :P

Anyhow, THis PERformance Is LAugh OUt LOUd FUnny (and just in plain bad taste)
