One of the finest performances available
When Daniel Barenboim is on good behavior, he is really good. In this recording of the transcendental opera Le nozze di Figro by Mozart, Barenboim is on his best behavior. First, as the recording was made in Berlin in 1990, he has the magnificent Karajan-trained Berlin Philharmonic as the accompanying orchestra. Karajan had died just six months previously, so the BPO still had its magnificent KLANG that was soon to be extinguished by his successor, Claudio Abbado. Althouigh the voices, as voices, are not as outstanding as those found on the Karajan- led Decca recording of the same opera, I prefer the interpretation of Barenboim as it penetrates into the heart of this marvelous score more deeply than does Karajan. In the Karajan recording the tempi are extremely rapid and the result is a sometimes slick and glib interpretation of this masterpiece. Barenboim, to his credit, adopts slower tempos, which is all to the good as it adds more poignancy to the most profound pages of the opera. The singers, with the exception of Cecilia Bartoli and Lella Cuberli, have slightly lesser voices than those found in the Karajan recording. BUT, and this is an important but, they have worked long hours as an ensemble with Barenboim in this recording, and they really sing as a team effort. It is interesting to note that most of these same singers participated in the recordings by Barenboim of the other two Mozart operas with librettos by Lorenzo da Ponte, also with the Berlin Philharmonic on Erato To summarize, If the listener wants a more profound interpretation of Figaro, go with Barenboim. If you prefer a more star-studded, glitzy performance of this masterpiece, go with von Karajan, who leads the Vienna Philharmonic and which has this music in their blood. However, as opera sets on Cds are inexpensive these days, and as everyone hears a performance differently, if you love Mozart and Figaro, my advice would be to purchase both performances..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
