$24.95



Description:

A significant portion of this cast would go on to achieve prominence as Wagnerian singers, and traces of that potential are evident throughout this performance of Così fan tutte. That added vocal intensity enhances the characters' heightened emotions without sacrificing Mozart's signature restraint and elegance. Julia Varady and Yvonne Minton are larger-than-life as Fiordiligi and Dorabella, delivering performances full of intensity and charisma. Lucia Popp’s Despina is delightfully charismatic, her rich tone adding a touch of voluptuous charm. Peter Seiffert handles Ferrando's demanding music with ease, an especially remarkable accomplishment given the power and size of his voice.

NOTE: There are some digital artifacts towards the end of Act I and into the beginning of Act II. Otherwise the sound is quite clear.
