5.0 out of 5 stars Finest operatic SACD so far, 28 Sep 2004
By Bernd Zoellner "bzoe" (Berlin) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best opera recording I have heard on SACD so far. The cast is really first-class, and so is René Jacobs' reading of Mozart's masterpiece. The voices sound completely natural with much air around them and can be heard to full advantage. The period instruments are not as warm and mellow as modern ones, but they never sound glassy or strident.
It would be difficult to find a better Countess than Véronique Gens today. Among the rest of the cast I would single out Simon Keenlyside and Angelika Kirchschlager for special mention. Orchestra and chorus are also excellent. Jacobs adopts an undogmatic approach to Mozart's score as far as tempi and embellishments are concerned. It adds up to a vibrant and spirited performance which will delight even those (like myself) who normally prefer modern instruments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully refreshing, 18 Sep 2008
By Mr. D. A. Littlewood (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the most wonderfully refreshing version of Mozart's masterpiece. Renee Jacobs says in his notes he aims for the opposite of smooth, legato Mozart, so Mozart emerges as the subservsive composer he really was. Figaro was considered dangerously subversive in its day and here is a truly wonderful version, brilliantly conducted with the woodwinds more forward and pungent than usual. The singing is simply a pleasure from beginning to end with no weak links in the cast. The fortepiano playing alone is simply worth buying the set for. All in all, the best version I've ever heard of Mozart's timeless masterpiece. Wonderfully refreshing!
