A real gem on a great recording........2007-02-27

I have to tell you how horribly upset I was to have this CD stolen from me by my friends (who dared not admit it!)
I bought this together with Ms. Bartoli's "Arie Antique". I love both discs to death.
Ms. von Otter has a very different timbre from Ms. Bartoli. However, in terms of singing, both artists were at their absolute peak in those two discs.
My favorite song on this disc, Gluck's 'Oh, del mio dolce ardor bramato oggetto', though also an Italian 'antique' composition, was NOT on Ms. Bartoli's disc. Ms. von Otter sung it with such soul and voice that I really wonder (increasing more so these days) if Ms. Bartoli could be as good!
I heard both their 'Voi che sapete', and must say that I preferred von Otter's, though Bartoli gave an almost equally good interpretation in her own Mozart album.
Having reacquired this lost album recently, I would add that Ms. von Otter's interpretations in the rarer Mozart operatic works are a real wonder. Compared with Ms. Fleming's Mozart album wherein contained a number of Mozart's rare works, the singing of Anne Sofie von Otter clearly is of a much more convincing standard. As the singer herself puts it: 'On passionate women and moustaches', undoubtedly this disc demonstrates the full musical capability of hers in both genres to a fascinatingly high standard.

FANTASTIC!!! AN 18th CENTURY VOYAGE.......2001-04-23

AN EXCELLENT VOICE! AND A VERY WELL THINK REPERTORY. I REALLY HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS BEAUTIFUL CD EITHER IF YOU LIKE THE GREAT VOICE OF VON OTTER OR THE CHARMING ARIAS OF MOZART, HAYDN AND GLUCK.

A Charming Disc.......1999-03-05

This collection finds Von Otter at top form and paired with a very sympathetic accompanist. (Would that Pinnock did more vocal pieces, his Haydn Mass is also lovely.) While I am not usually a fan of the scattershot recital approach, this one works. If you like either Von Otter (and how could you not?) or Pinnock, this disc is self-recommending.

Delightful arias beautifully sung by von stade.......2004-12-12

This is a very enjoyable CD, von stade's mezzo is so lovely!
It's good to have some rare haydn opera arias along-side the famous mozart and rossini arias.
von stade's rendition of "nacqui allaffanno...non piu mesta" is my favourite, she is dazzling in "non piu mesta" without being exaggerated like Bartoli.

Frederica = Fantastic!.......2001-07-07

First of all, Frederica von Stade is one of my favorite singers. The first time I saw her was in the 1973 production of Le Nozze di Figaro with Kiri te Kanawa and Ileana Cotrubas. She played Cherubino, and was incredible. The first time I listened to her, "Voi che sapete," I was sobbing, the music was so beautiful. Well, I wanted to get her cd a LOT. This one had "Voi che sapete" so I chose it, knowing that I'd hear at least one thing that I liked. Instead, I liked - or loved - everything. Her Haydn is so great to listen to- I love her teasing, "Una donna come me." Her two arias from Mozart's Figaro are great, and her, "Vedrai, carino" from Don Giovanni is the best ever for sure. The arias from, "La Clemenza di Tito" are nice but lack certain emotion. The Rossini pieces are sung swoopingly and happily, especially "Una voce poco fa." Frederica von Stade is one-of-a-kind. Don't miss this cd.

Flicka is wonderful!.......2000-11-23

This is the debut recording for Frederica von Stade, I think. Since I have watched the wonderful "La Cenerentola" with Abbado from DG, I searched for Flicka's Cenerentola. At last I found it! Now I'm very happy to hear it. Her Rossini is very elegant and beautiful. When you hear her Angelina's aria, you may think she is scolded to by her stepfather and stepsister, but she hopes someday she will be happy. She is the Cinderella many people think. Her Cherbino is wonderful and charming, too.

Flicka's voice is mellow and charming, beautiful. You will love it. The former reviewer said she lacked the technique to produce a full, satisfying sound. I agreed with it. But when I listen to this album, I always found myself to love it and know I'll hear this album again.

Devoted Von Stade fans will rate it higher..........2000-08-18

Whether or not you like this CD will likely depend upon whether or not you like the sound of Frederica von Stade's voice from the mid-1970's, which is when these arias were recorded. She has always had a wonderful rapport with audiences; I treasure the memories of a live recital and a master class I attended a few years ago. But earlier in her career, it was the opinion of many (including my voice teachers) that she lacked the technique to produce a full, satisfying sound. Others have always loved her voice (perhaps because her style of production does give her singing an endearingly vulnerable quality), and they will almost certainly love this CD. It does seem to me, though, that her sound could be better. I find it frustrating that, after a ringing recitative on "Ecco il punto", the fluidity of her phrasing in the beginning of the aria "Non piu di fiore" is almost lost in the orchestra. This could be a problem of recording balance, but in listening to her more exposed singing in arias from the Haydn operas and Le Nozze di Figaro, I think it really is the fact that the core of the sound is missing in her production.

The repertoire itself has a lot of interest. The segments from Haydn's "La fedelta premiata" are taken from the first recording of this opera, following a revival in 1970. Haydn's operas in general provide a surprisingly satisfying followup when you have heard and heard all the wonderful Mozart operas and want more in the same style. "Dell'amor mio fedele" is very beautiful music indeed. I was also impressed with the beauty of the aria from Rossini's "Otello", an opera which is not often heard (evidently the libretto is disappointing).

Those who are not enamored of Von Stade's voice will probably feel that the more famous repertoire, such as Rossini's "Una voce poco fa" and "Non piu mesta" and the Mozart arias, is in better hands on other recordings, but I haven't heard enough of the more recently available recordings of these to be able to make recommendations. An obvious alternative would be Bartoli, another specialist in this repertoire who is adored by many and decried by others, and I'm sure it would be worth checking out other artists too.

A rewarding Fedelta indeed!.......2005-04-02

Haydn's operas are a revelation! I wish opera houses would perform them more often and stop producing useless contemporary works. His music is as beautiful as Mozart's and if the arias are not equally memorable, I believe it has to do with Mozart's operas never loosing popularity. Philips has done a marvellous job recording these jewels and special praise must be given to Antal Dorati, the conductor of the Eszterhaza opera cycle.

La Fedelta Premiata (fidelity rewarded) was my first acquaintance with his operas, the reason merely being the well-known cast assembled for this recording. The ladies, Valentini Terrani, Von Stade and Cotrubas are all in wonderful form and their honeyed tones blend in magnificently. The veteran Luigi Alva still had so much to offer in 1975 when this set was recorded and Tonny Landy and Maurizio Mazzieri make the best out of their superb arias.

A long opera filled with recitatives, light arias and wonderful finales but then I guess it does take long for fidelity to pay off, doesn't it?!

Charming Obscurity.......2000-07-25

This, one of Haydn's many and largely unknown operas, is by far one of the most charming. It features many tuneful arias and far less in the way of cumbersome recitative than the other operas. Most of all, it is far less strange than, say, Il Mondo Della Luna, his most bizarre creation.

The performances on this recording are far from perfect, being much what one would expect for a recording of such a rare piece. However, they pass muster not too badly for the conossieur of Haydn's works for the operatic stage.

This recording is unlikely to appeal to anyone but the afficiondo.

Okay Haydn but lacking in charm.......2007-01-25

If there is one element required for a good Haydn performance it has to be charm. The music must sing and make you smile. If it doesn't make you smile, it is cold Haydn. Here you have a great orchestra but a conductor too serious for this music. Look elsewhere.
