5.0 out of 5 stars Figaro brought to life!, 13 May 2006
Right from the start of the introduction René Jacobs and the concerto Koln grab your attention, and continue to do so with the fantastic singers, exciting tempi and beautiful ornamentations. The voice that particularly struck me out of all of the cast was that of the Italian soprano Patrizia Ciofi playing Susanna on this recording. She captures all of the elements of this character with great humour and delicacy, patricularly the fantastic "Venite inginocchiatevi". Her use of ornamentation in her final aria "Deh vieni non tardar" is quite spectacular; seemingly effortless and breathtakingly beautiful.

In this recording there is this fantastic sense of the lives of the servants and of the true story of Figaro in this recording; the patter scenes are genuinely funny, there is a great rapport between characters and the Italian is clear and precise. The singers on this disc are all fantastic! Particularly Simon Keenlyside's magnificent Count and Marie McLaughlin's devious Marcellina.

Possibly the only slight disappointment is the interpretation of the Countess by Véronique Gens, abeit a very beautiful sounding voice but never the less I feel that she does not display the many colours of the Countess and, at times, seems rather monotonous in her interpretation.

All in all, this disc is fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone as it's winning feature is the bringing to life of Beaumarchais wonderful characters through Mozart's incredible music and Da Ponte's fantastic libretto!

5.0 out of 5 stars first class, award-winning Figaro!, 18 Oct 2004
By A Customer
this is truly a stunning recording from start to finish. i suspect the previous reviewers may require hearing examinations (and possibly some earwax removing fluid?). this is an essential purchase for all those who love Mozart and will convert his doubters. little wonder that this set won the Gramophone Record Of The Year award...

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning revelation!, 25 Dec 2004
By John (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
I resisted buying this recording because I have always felt the 1950s Gui Glyndebourne recording was my ideal. But my curiosity finally got the better of me and I have just listened to the complete opera. It is quite overwhelming, a stunning revelation and fully justified of all the praise accorded it.

I do not know what equipment some of the the amazon.com reviwers have been using and do not agree with their less than enthusiastic comments. Yes, the orchestral playing and direction are outstanding - and the continuo playing the freshest and finest I have ever heard, either 'live' or on disc. But the soloists are also excellent, wonderfully conveying all the different shades of the drama.

In my view, unquestionably one of the finest opera recordings on CD.
