$9.95
Description:
If you've ever heard someone claim that larger voices aren't suited to Mozart, point them directly to this spirited performance of Così fan tutte, featuring Cristina Deutekom and Tatiana Troyanos as the sisters. Their achievements in these roles are all the more remarkable for the way they combine vocal weight—more commonly associated with Verdi or Wagner—with the finesse and stylistic precision Mozart demands.
The result is a performance that surges with energy, particularly in the ensembles, where both voices soar effortlessly above the orchestra and chorus. Their presence adds an unexpected dramatic charge while never compromising the elegance of the music. The rest of the cast is strong, with Renzo Casellato standing out as a light but sweet-voiced Ferrando, bringing charm and vocal ease to the role.
In Stereo.
