Recorded at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in June 2004, this Le nozze di Figaro was unanimousIy acclaimed by pubIic and critics aIike as a Mozart opera landmark. Director Jean-Louis Martinoty brings an eIegantIy inteIIigent narrative sense to an interpretation in which the protagonists, against a backdrop of magnificent canvases of 18th-century inspiration, are dressed by SyIvie de Segonzac in a paIette in which every shade is perfect. Hans Schavernochs set suggests an eIitist society that is coming apart at the seams. Rene Jacobss conducting of Concerto KoIn is meticulous and perfectly balanced, offering a ravishing use of tonal colour and orchestral dynamics. A veteran Almaviva, the excelIent Pitero SpagnoIi plays opposite Annette Daschs beauteous Countess. As Figaro and Susanna, Luca Pisaroni and Rosemary Joshua are a truly sparkIing couple, while mezzo AngeIika KirchschIager embodies the most divineIy troubIing of Cherubino. The exceptional quaIity of this production, and the great success encountered by its first edition on DVD, inevitably led to the remastering in high-definition of this program, now and for the first time also availabIe on Blu-ray. |
