Zaide
mia | Croatia, Europe | 12/28/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Even though it was found many years after Mozart died, the astonishing beauty of this work of art is ovious. The perfect choice of notes is such as only Mozart could have made it, and Zaide is something that has been left to us from this very wonderful composer."
An unequal contest in this Schauspieldirektor....
Nathan | Ithaca, New York | 01/11/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Unhappily for all concerned this recording was hopelessly miscast. The whole point of Der Schauspieldirektor is the vocal duel between the two sopranos..."Ich bin die erste sangerin" Madame Herz should crow to Madame Silberklang. Pitting the woefully thin and empty soprano of Ruth Welting against the full and luscious voice of Ileana Cotrubas was a non starter, and this recording suffers accordingly. Colin Davis conducts with brio.Cotrubas sings with her customary intelligence, refinement and beauty. What a shame."
