Certified Intergalactic! Even if only for this single opera, Yvonne Kenny joins the ranks of great sopranos. If not for her, I wouldn't have appreciated Mitridate.

I get chills listening to/watching this. Bravissima!

Ponelle & Harnoncourt pioneered the interest in Baroque opera. In many ways, I prefer their version to later ones by early music "specialists". Ponelle & Harnoncourt honor the period (no weird modern dress versions) and REALLY understand the drama inherent in this style. Also, they avoid the overly light, white, staight-toned voices favored by some early music specialists

Ca c'est de l'opéra

O bom gosto impera nesse registro em todos os aspectos: Kenny como modelo de canto e atuação cênica; produção cuidadosa de Ponnelle e regência perspicaz de Harnoncourt! Mozart merecia algo deste nível para confirmar dignamente a sua genialidade desde a juventude.

A beautiful, sorrowful recitativo & aria by one the most underrated sopranos of the eighties. She proves to well understand the elaborate italian libretto. Full marks to Yvonne.
A sort of miracle..
young Mozart, Y. Kenny, Harnoncourt, Ponnelle, the orchesra, the costume designer, the camera man... one team reaching together unexpected heights of artistic expression.
