5.0 out of 5 stars Flicka is wonderful!, November 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Frederica von Stade - Haydn, Mozart, Rossini (Audio CD)

This is the debut recording for Frederica von Stade, I think. Since I have watched the wonderful "La Cenerentola" with Abbado from DG, I searched for Flicka's Cenerentola. At last I found it! Now I'm very happy to hear it. Her Rossini is very elegant and beautiful. When you hear her Angelina's aria, you may think she is scolded to by her stepfather and stepsister, but she hopes someday she will be happy. She is the Cinderella many people think. Her Cherbino is wonderful and charming, too.

Flicka's voice is mellow and charming, beautiful. You will love it. The former reviewer said she lacked the technique to produce a full, satisfying sound. I agreed with it. But when I listen to this album, I always found myself to love it and know I'll hear this album again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful arias beautifully sung by von stade, December 12, 2004

Liesha - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frederica von Stade - Haydn, Mozart, Rossini (Audio CD)

This is a very enjoyable CD, von stade's mezzo is so lovely!
It's good to have some rare haydn opera arias along-side the famous mozart and rossini arias.
von stade's rendition of "nacqui allaffanno...non piu mesta" is my favourite, she is dazzling in "non piu mesta" without being exaggerated like Bartoli.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frederica = Fantastic!, July 7, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Frederica von Stade - Haydn, Mozart, Rossini (Audio CD)

First of all, Frederica von Stade is one of my favorite singers. The first time I saw her was in the 1973 production of Le Nozze di Figaro with Kiri te Kanawa and Ileana Cotrubas. She played Cherubino, and was incredible. The first time I listened to her, "Voi che sapete," I was sobbing, the music was so beautiful. Well, I wanted to get her cd a LOT. This one had "Voi che sapete" so I chose it, knowing that I'd hear at least one thing that I liked. Instead, I liked - or loved - everything. Her Haydn is so great to listen to- I love her teasing, "Una donna come me." Her two arias from Mozart's Figaro are great, and her, "Vedrai, carino" from Don Giovanni is the best ever for sure. The arias from, "La Clemenza di Tito" are nice but lack certain emotion. The Rossini pieces are sung swoopingly and happily, especially "Una voce poco fa." Frederica von Stade is one-of-a-kind. Don't miss this cd.
