Mozart: Così fan tutte - Janowitz, Ludwig, Miljakovic, Dallapozza, Berry, Wächter; Krips. Wien, 1968
$9.95
Description:
This performance stands as compelling evidence that dramatic voices not only can—but should—sing Mozart. Gundula Janowitz, though already making her mark in Wagner and Strauss by this point, reveals that her soprano has retained all its signature purity and radiance. Christa Ludwig takes some time to settle in, with a slightly tentative “Smanie implaccabile,” but she blossoms as the evening progresses. Her Act II duet with Walter Berry is a highlight—tender, beautifully phrased, and deeply felt. Berry, meanwhile, brings a youthful energy and warmth to Guglielmo, while Eberhard Wächter makes for a suave and intelligent Don Alfonso. The result is a Così fan tutte rich in vocal color and emotional nuance.
