Mozart: Marriage of Figaro Glyndebourne 1990 Cherubino's aria Voi che sapete

Taken from the BBC broadcast of a 1990 Glyndebourne Festival performance.

Mozart: Marriage of Figaro

Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
Conductor: Simon Rattle
Production: Peter Hall

Cherubino - Marianne Rorholm

In 1990 the Glyndebourne Festival had a little revolution in its sacred halls: Simon Rattle conducted a production of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro. What was so special about this production is the fact that for the first time in the festival's history an orchestra of period instruments was used. To up the ante, there was also a radical departure of its 56 year old established performance practice: Mozart was to be performed with full use of appoggiaturas and ornamentation.

she has got such a good voice.

[rlee1976]

You've got that right! Especially since this is Cherubino's little composition, he can sing whatever he feels, appoggiature and all! Of course, in the best of taste with Mozart in mind!

Huizinga ha scritto nell'Autunno del Medievo che le tre passioni nobili dell'uomo sono l'ascolto della musica lirica, la contemplazione di un quadro la lettura, l'ascolto della voce di louis alexander mi ricorda queste parole.

Bland, unfeeling, and far too quick.

[dezmundo1251]

not a fan of the alterations at the end
