Salzburg Festival - Mozart: Co

Miah Persson (Fiordiligi), Anke Vondung (Dorabella), Ainhoa Garmendia (Despina), Topi Lehtipuu (Ferrando), Luca Pisaroni (Guglielmo), Nicolas Rivenq (Don Alfonso) & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment & The Glyndebourne Chorus, Ivan Fischer (conductor) & Nicholas Hytner (stage director)

Mozarts genie in het op muziek zetten van Da Ponte's komische spel over liefde, ontrouw en vergeving markeert Così fan tutte als een van de grote kunstwerken uit het tijdperk van de Verlichting. Nicholas Hytners prachtige productie voor het Glyndebourne Festival in 2006, met zijn zekere touch en theatrale knowhow, maakt zijn belofte waar om 'schokkend traditioneel' te zijn, terwijl Iván Fischer kunstzinnige uitvoeringen plaagt van een uitstekende internationale cast van overtuigende jonge geliefden.

"When I saw this production at Glyndebourne last May, I thought that it was one of the three perfect operatic performances that I have ever been to. That view is only strengthened by seeing this marvellous DVD, which does the fullest justice to the brilliance of Nicholas Hytner's production, and the glorious orchestral playing and the magnificent singing under Iván Fischer. ..the whole opera is both more funny and more painful, much more painful, than it usually is. We are left at the end bewildered by the treachery of the human heart and delighted by the beauty in the music with which Mozart brings this home to us."
BBC Music Magazine - May 2007 *****

"At Glyndebourne, both Despina and Alfonso are played traditionally and with notable brio by Garmendia and Rivenq… the delightful Persson and Vondung make a wholly believable and vocally attractive Fiordiligi and Dorabella, and deliver their music in ideal Mozartian tone and style. ...Fischer conducts with an unassumingly correct sense of timing: brio nicely matched to loving attention to detail."
Gramophone Magazine - June 2007

"Hytner on Opus Arte succeeded on every front, bringing out the fine qualities of the whole cast, both vocally and dramatically, brilliantly supported by Ivan Fischer...Starriest of all is Miah Persson as Fiordiligi, singing gloriously with pure, even tone...The teamwork as ever at Glyndebourne is superb"
