wonderful performance. Thank you for posting it. this particular Finale is generally known among musicians as one of the most DIFFICULT to put together. the genius of mozart shows in how effortless the music, characters, development to the climax , the tying up of the complications of the story come together. but in its musical parts, this is a VERY difficult musical section to put together.
The music is sweet as honey one moment, threatening the next. Tragic one moment, funny the the next. And the singers act and sing it out beautifully. Excellent.
The music is sweet as honey one moment, threatening the next. Tragic one moment, funny the the next. And the singers act and sing it out beautifully. Excellent.
I think this production is very fine, but personally, after watching beautiful Renee Fleming as the Countess, this woman doesn't strike me as Figaro's countess. Also this beautiful Susanna is not funny enough for me after Cecilia Bartoli's comedy. My favorit part about this production, for me, is Rinat Shaham as Cherubino. She is so perfect both in voice and appearance.
@mrskinoti I LOVED CHERUBINO too!!!!! I equally loved Susanna though..... a bit "serious" in this part but innocent at the same time when coming out of the room! ^^ the countess is not the best, but not bad at all in my opinion. Finlay is passionate here, but I don't like the slap.
That slap was uncalled for. I also really hate productions where he tries to rape her at this part. It really makes it hard to believe she'd forgive him.
No way. The Countess is supposed to be steadfast and strong, but he is her one weakness. If she takes him back after physical violence, though, she borders on pathetic.
But you forget the Countesses line about women being weak..wielding susannas retort that men are their weakness...she knows his weaknesses- he sleeps around, but they DID love each other once and she is still hoping to regain that happiness she once had with him- she still loves him no matter what
Well, actually, as a woman of those times, she had no choice but to stay with him, even is she had wanted to escape! Still, I agree with you regarding the slap. The Count is a very controlled person - he has to be. He would not lose his temper to this degree.
Generally, I don't like this staging. At the moment, someone is posting excerpts from a production by J. Schaaf; who also deals with the material in a very critical, yet much more convincing manner.
Certo...su voz suena mejor que en Salzburgo, sobre todo en Dove sono, pero esta bastante bien, y este DVD creo q es la mejor edición de le nozze en el mercado ;D
Si si lavoro... Ma in Università... Quindi sono come Cherubino... Molto onor poco contante... Pensa che se riesco ad andare a Barcellona è la prima vacanza che faccio da quando mi sono laureato nel 2002!!!! Insomma vedo che siamo degni compari di Gualtier Maldè
Comunque ho guardato sulla cartina e più o meno siamo lontani uguali da
Oh, bueno, picciolo Cherubino, que le vamos a hacer, habrá que hacer algun esfuerzo...además todavía no hay fechas (creo) asiq veremos si se puede arreglar...
No per il momento nessuna data... e questo è un problema!!! E' difficile organizzarsi non sapendo quando viene!!! Ho anche cercato sul sito del Liceu, ma non la danno come Opera...
Per me febbraio è un po' scomodo.. In Italia ci sono gli esami in Università e non so se mi lascieranno andare via!!! Comunque per Diana posso anche scappare....
pff... Se tutto il codice dovessi volgere, se tutto l'indice dovessi leggere, con un equivoco, con un sinonimo, qualche garbuglio si troverà... Ah il fatto è serio, ma vedrete si farà!
SIR Finlay...what an artist!

This one is fun to conduct because you have to decide which vocal parts to recite and follow while conducting.

Well, there're 2 mistakes; it's Graciela Araya, with G not C XD and...where's Countess Almaviva: Dorothea Roschmann?? ;)
leporello89 3 years ago
leporello se vogliamo proprio essere precisi è
Dorothea Röschmann....
Penso che si la migliore contessa esistente...
Anche se mi piace di più nell'edizione di Salisburgo
maggeo78 3 years ago
Certo...su voz suena mejor que en Salzburgo, sobre todo en Dove sono, pero esta bastante bien, y este DVD creo q es la mejor edición de le nozze en el mercado ;D
leporello89 3 years ago
solo perchè non c'è ancora quella con Diana....
maggeo78 3 years ago
Da igual...la puesta de McVicar es genial, Roschmann como Condesa soberbia, Persson como Susanna sublime, etc etc...
Asiq aunque no esté Diana...el DVD merece la pena :D
leporello89 3 years ago
Netrebko te gusta como Susanna???
A me abbastanza...
maggeo78 3 years ago
No me disgusta...pero prefiero a Persson, a Garmendia o a Rey...y por supuesto a Diana
leporello89 3 years ago
ahahahhahah.... non è così male.... Qual'è il tuo Figaro preferito????
maggeo78 3 years ago
Pisaroni o D'Arcangelo, mis favoritos :D

Ognitanto vado a fare esami di diritto privato e commerciale a economia....
