Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Just listing the composers featured on The Art of Anne Sofie von Otter here would take up the allotted space. Suffice to say that from Handel, Mozart and Bach through to Berlioz, Korngold and Elvis Costello, this ravishing compilation sums up what we have long known--that von Otter effortlessly embraces so many styles of music with consummate artistry, character and technique. What more can you say? She is as at home with early music ensembles such as The English Concert and Les Musiciens du Louvre as with the Berlin Philharmonic in Mahler or Offenbach with the Dresden State Orchestra.

Churlish reservations relate only to the overall choice of repertoire--perhaps at the expense of a little less Mozart and Handel, still more space devoted to an uninterrupted sequence of songs with piano would be welcomed, an area where many find von Otter's gifts at their most compelling. The magical 1996 Swedish song album isn't represented at all, but then again a quick flip through the von Otter discography leaves one wishing so much else was included here. That would be totally impractical, of course, after all, who could buy this and not want then to explore her discography in detail? --Andrew Green

5.0 out of 5 stars Splendid introduction, 31 Oct 2002
By Dobester (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
As Amazon's own reviwer says in praise (or warning?), this is an excellent introduction to Otter's work, and likely to cause your credit card to burn a hole in your wallet as you order more and more of her discs. An incredible vocal genius is at work here. For those who are wary of classical music for voice (operaphobia, perhaps) this is proof that there is much intoxicating music to be discovered. And for those who already love Ms Otter's work, her intriguing album with twisted pop philosopher Elvis Costello might begin them on a new road into intelligent pop music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars with one reservation, 24 Oct 2002
By A Customer
A splendid and very good value retrospective of von Otter's work . Carmen may not quite be her thing but her baroque and song performances are particularly fine although her Berg and Mahler are excellent too .

The Abba like number and moreover the Costello collaboration , which I thought I would hate but found rather enjoyable, show that she is capable of crossover without retaining operatic manners ( a rare ability ) but the album is marred by the appallingly overproduced Christmas numbers on CD2. I cannot imagine that there has ever been a more mucked about version of Stille Nacht .

Well worth buying though just use the programme button to avoid them .
