Product Description
CD81849 Mozart: Cosi Fan Tutte Mackerras Aix '77
Mozart: Cosi Fan Tutte Aix-en-Provence Festival 7 August 1977 Broadcast
Valerie Masterson – Fiordiligi Sylvia Lindenstrand – Dorabella Norma Burrowes – Despina Francisco Araiza – Ferrando Knut Skram – Guglielmo Gabriel Bacquier – Don Alfonso
English Chamber Orchestra
Charles Mackerras – conductor
Upon hearing of the death of Charles Mackerras, I was suprised to find so few of his famed Mozart performances posted, so I now offer this Cosi from Aix from over 30 years ago. It's not perfect: Masterson gets badly lost in the first half of "Come scoglio" (perhaps due to Mackerras' ambitious ornamentation) but recovers nicely, Burrowes makes a bad entrance in her second aria and there are transmission problems during Skram's first aria. Nor is the performance complete: the first-act men's duettino and "Ah lo veggio" are omitted. However, I think it's an appealing example of Mackerras' polished Mozart style

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
