4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful live recording, April 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mozart: Così fan tutte (Audio CD)

This beautifully performed and played production is a truly rare find for such an affordable price. Anyone wishing to capture the drama and closeness of live performance should definitely hear this recording. On the downside, the opera is heavily cut, and, as it is a live performance from 1962, the sound quality is not what most people familiar with modern CD's expect. For the true lover of opera, however, it is a delight to hear Elisabeth Schwarzkopf in her prime performing one her her signature roles. Even if you are not familiar with Cosi, this recording is still worth the while for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Bohm's Cosi, February 28, 2003

By 

Sergey Sh. (Moscow Russia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mozart: Così fan tutte (Audio CD)

What can one obtain from this live performance compared to classic EMI studio recording (with Schwarzkopf, Ludwig, Kraus, Taddei and Philharmonia) and less known but of equal performance quality DECCA studio recording (with Della Casa and Wiener Philharmoniker) both conducted by Bohm?
Vocal is superior in London, ensemble and orchestra is at its best in Wien? Why do I want to listen to another Cosi with Bohm?
I think Bohm gives me unprecedent depth and aestethics each time he conducts Cosi. And I'm ready for another Cosi...
