Reviews
‘Sparkling harmony …the combined talents of Bryn Terfel and Cecilia Bartoli…raise the temperature… Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro… is charged with intrigue and sexual tension and they captured the mood with pinpoint vocal interplay and assured comic acting…a formidable display of coloratura technique and laser-sharp intonation.’
***** The Guardian
’…the two well-matched singers get exactly right the tricky question of just how much ‘acting’ to do in concert performance…unflawed and un-ostentatious professionalism [from the orchestra].’
