Product Description

The Glyndebourne Label
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro

Le nozze di Figaro has been Glyndebourne’s ‘signature’ opera since the Company was founded in 1934. This recording of the 1962 Glyndebourne production features a vintage cast with Heinz Blankenburg in the title role and Mirella Freni as Susanna, who made her international breakthrough at Glyndebourne the previous summer. Silvio Varviso conducts and his ‘elegant touch for opera’ (New York Times) is much in evidence.

‘ … a vintage production … the performance brought us closer to the spirit of Mozart and of Glyndebourne than anything else that we can see in this delightful opera house. … One of the very finest performances of the opera that I have seen.’

HMVのレビューでは、フレーニとマティス...

投稿日:2008/07/23 (水)

HMVのレビューでは、フレーニとマティスの共演をうたい文句にしているが、フレーニのスザンナも、マティスのケルビーノも承知のように別録で聴ける。むしろ、このCDの隠れた目玉は、往年の名ソプラノ、ジェンチェルのロジーナだろう。彼女は録音自体が極めて少なく「海賊盤の女王」とまで呼ばれたが、以外にモーツァルトも歌っており、この録音のほか、2種の「ドン・ジョヴァンニ」(CDではドンナ・アンナ、DVDではドンナ・エルヴィラを歌っている。)がある。映像では他に「トロヴァトーレ」と「アイーダ」(画質がかなり悪い)残されて
