Description:

Pros:

• This performance is proof that dramatic voices can and should sing Mozart.
• Despite having already ventured in to Wagner and Strauss, Gundula Janowitz shows that she has not lost any of the luster of her pristine soprano.
• Christa Ludwig struggles a bit in “Smanie implaccabile” and then warms up as the evening goes on. Her Act II duet with Walter Berry is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard.
• Walter Berry brings youthful charm to the role of Guglielmo and Eberhard Wächter is an excellent Don Alfonso.

Cons:

• None to mention.
