4.0 out of 5 stars First class productions 23 Sep 2012
By maximus TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A bargain set for 20th century opera lovers. The productions are outstanding and imaginative. Beautifully played and sung. The sound quality is good, singers and orchestra very clearly recorded, but picture quality in some of the films is a little fuzzy. The best one from picture quality perspective is L'Heure Espagnole,

My favourite opera in this set is Prokofiev's (Love of three oranges), followed by the Ravel I mentioned above. My least favourite is Knussen's Higgledy Piggledy Pop - surreal to say the least, but interesting music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Imaginative Childhood Fun 22 Oct 2012
By H. A. Weedon VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I very much enjoyed this selection of five short operas staged at Glyndebourne. My favourite is 'Higglety Pigglety Pop!', in which three of the actors are dressed up as animals: a Sealyham terrier, a pig and a cat and there's also a housemaid and a lion. The music for this opera and also for 'Where the Wild Things Are' was composed by Oliver Knussen who also conducts the London Sinfonietta for both operas. When watching these works I wondered if children would enjoy them as much as I did. They certainly took me back to my childhood and made me very happy. It's interesting to note that, in real life, cats wail and dogs howl and bark. Pigs have the better of them both in that they grunt and squeal in the most delightfully musical fashion, which is why I stopped eating these intelligent animals a long time ago.

On the second disc both 'L'enfant et les Sortileges and L'Heure Espanole by Ravel made fascinating watching and listening. Although it was well produced and performed I wasn't quite so keen on 'The Love of Three Oranges' by Prokofiev, which always seems to me to be a rather 'over the top' kind of opera, in which everything is done rather too well. This may sound strange and not over clear, but I don't know how else to put it. Happily, other viewers will think differently.

On the whole both sound and picture quality are good, especially the sound quality. Filled with imagination, these works are well geared to delight and inspire discerning children and other viewers and listeners. Best of all, they are the kind of entertainment that can be watched and listened to over and over again without ever tiring of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant 4 Jan 2013
By Kevin O'Connor
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
These are quite old productions but don't appear so. They are quite glittering. I can't compare the Knussens' to any other versions but these seemed perfect, lively, finely sung and enjoyable even by small children.
Les Enfants compares well with other production I have seen - in particular the sets.
