Movie ReviewsI never get tired of it! Teresa Leandro | Sintra, Portugal | 02/12/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had it on VHS, I have it on DVD, it's mandatory! And of course I have the same version in CD (some slight differences, some singers are not the same).
I find the overture, with Abbado conducting, absolutely mesmerizing. You can actually see his eyes guiding the orchestra. The singers? Well, Hermann Prey is my favourite Figaro ever, and it's really a pitty there isn't any film of his wonderful Papageno in Mozart's Magic Flute. Teresa Berganza and her voice are perfect for the role. Enzo Dara is hilarious. I just love Luigi Alva's voice (he's Don Ottavio in the most amazing Don Giovanni ever recorded, the one by Giulini - how I wish we could have it on film!), I could go on forever. " |
