1.Mozart: The Magic Flute by: Kurt Streit Barbara Bonney Sumi Jo Gilles Cachemaille Kristinn Sigmundsson The Drottningholm Court Theatre Orchestra Arnold Östman July 08, 2002

This is an interesting version of the Magic Flute. The cast is quite good, especially with Sumi Jo as the Queen of the Night. The orchestra plays on period instruments which makes the sound less brilliant than what we are used to. However, once one gets used to it, the period instruments are actually quite charming, and produces a nice balance with the voices. My major complaint is the tempo, which is unusually fast. Everything seems rushed. The singers do not have the opportunity to enjoy the notes and the score, which kind of affects the performance. If you enjoy Sumi Jo as Queen of the Night, then Solti set is the better bet.

Barbara Bonney does have a lovely voice, which technically cannot be faulted. But oh so dull and a little clinical !! Wonderful if you want to fall asleep,not so good if you want to be moved, excited or impassioned.More like Nicole Kidman than Sophia Loren, more like taffeta than velvet.Too much Stephen Hendry,not enough Jimmy White.

3.Mozart: Don Giovanni by: Håkan Hagegård Arleen Augér Gilles Cachemaille Della Jones Barbara Bonney Bryn Terfel The Drottningholm Court Theatre Orchestra The Drottningholm Court Theatre Chorus Arnold Östman July 08, 2002

Well, I was curious! how could the Don fit on a two c.d set? sadly it was performed at break-neck speed,the poor singers sounded exhausted before they where half-way through the first scene. I awarded the stars for shear guts to them,although I do wish the conductor was a bit more musical or,at least considerate. Well, now I need to lie down.
