[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic!

Could you please begin this aria at 0:54?

[redoler]

Wonderful singing. Unerringly on target.

Marvellous pizzi-culo in video.

Grazie tante.

[positron12]

Bien mais pas aussi coordonné et émotif que le meilleur: Glyndebourne 2006

[stallardbrendan]

Forget the clothing, this is bel canto writ large, the singing is perfect, and the acting of the sisters, especially at the end of the terzettino is very moving.

Very beautiful, thank you to whoever posted it. I shall buy that DVD.

I think it's great: both from a musical and dramatic perspective.

[gillesparis09]

schwarzkopf...too fast...enough...listent to the beauty of this opera

[seetsebea1]

good and strong voices, but far from the Mozart sensibility.listen to Schwarzkopf, to know what Mozart is about

[kimancuo]

Relative to " il soave vento" and "l' onda tranquilla" they are singing about as they wish those climatic conditions to their beloved travellers.

[Jitpring]

The hideous modern clothing is most unwelcome. When will they get over this nonsense?

[JSC1401]

Didn't the first performers wear modern clothes in 1787?

Do you think 1787 audiences thought it was nonsense?

[billyguns2]

Probably never. :-(

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic! Thanks for the subtitle!

[kimancuo]

The tempo is too fast!

[JSC1401]

Mozart did not know what a metronome was.

"Too" fast relative to what???

[1401JSC]

Thank Gof for the wonderful orchestral playing.

There is no blending or balancing of the voices, hardly any first beat in the bar arrives together. The 1/8 notes (especially of Corbelli) are unequal and not together between the voices.

His 1/16ths are not togther with the bassoon either.

The two ladies are sincere in their text, but Alfonso is not. But how do we see this?

Pretty awful.

[brunosilvershadow]

You're right! And Elisabeth Schwarzkopf would teach the Soprano why she doesn't has to cry this so loud! Listen to the recordings of Schwarzkopf and Janowitz!

[msumuel]

You're just completely transported to some wonderful place after listening to such beautiful music such as this: bravi tutti!!!

[frankegem]

please don't translate the words in english if you don't do it correctly.

[flaze3]

Better an approximation than nothing. Don't be such a pedant.

[babaloula]

Up to now the most accomplished rendition of this trio I've heard on this site. Bravi!!!

[Freder28XXX]

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart forver!

Well desserved her

[brodsky96]

Corbellli is one of the very few real BELCANTISTI of our days....

[artemisshock]

The voices in this are terrific. This is a good version-I agree-I'm not crazy about the set and modern dress, but the performance makes up for it.

[karekietje]

Isn't it all about the music and the voices? I don't worry about the costumes. This is wonderfull music, and a wonderfull performance!

[agirlforbryn]

Horrible, horrible set. I can accept the modern clothes but the set! Come on, why can't Europe productions do a little better on the sets?

[KatherineXIX]

Isokoski would make a great Leonore in Fidelio...

[LeNozze44]

Because of the haircut?

[altodivo]

not just the haircut...but it certainly helps. She has recorded Marzelline, with Meier as Leonore.

[pianomatty]

what happened to the rest of the translation?

[artemisshock]

It just keeps repeating the same thing.

[Alyson69]

The outfits for this production were amazing. Giorgio Armani.
