Various - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Cosi fan tutte, Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail, Le nozze di Figaro

These three facets in the prism of Mozart�s operatic genius shine in Glyndebourne�s typically thought-provoking productions, featuring skilled singer�actors buoyed by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment�s luminous period sound. Nicholas Hytner�s beautiful, �shockingly traditional� production of Cos� fan tutte frames artful performances teased by Iv�n Fischer from an outstanding international cast of convincing young lovers. Michael Grandage�s staging of Le nozze di Figaro is Glyndebourne�s seventh in a line stretching back to the company�s 1934 d�but production. Marshalled by the �ideal pacing� of Robin Ticciati, a youthful cast of principals has �no weak link� and �looks gorgeous� (The Sunday Times). David McVicar�s Die Entf�hrung aus dem Serail offers a �mesmerising, sensitive ... outstanding� portrayal of Enlightenment-era fascination with the East that is both �exquisitely acted and sung� (The Guardian), and Ticciati leads the OAE through a restored, authentic rendition of the critical score with �lovely fizz� and �poignant gravitas�. (The Independent). Recorded in true Surround Sound. 'Glorious orchestral playing and magnificent singing under Iv�n Fischer' ( Cosi fan tutte - BBC Music Magazine). 'Finely conducted by Robin Ticciati, McVicar�s production of Mozart�s Turkish comedy is a vocal and visual treat.' (Die Entf�hrung - The Stage). '... this is a Figaro of rare grace, naturalness and charm.' (Le Nozze di Figaro - The Daily Telegraph).
