Customer Reviews:
Divine Papa.......2006-06-11
This is a truly beautiful disk. Both the performance and the recording are exceptional. In the hands of these musicians, the beauty of Haydn's music really shines through. His lyricism, elegance, and grace are all in evidence here.
Unfortunately this ensemble has not (as of this writing) recorded any other sets of Haydn's string quartets so if you are someone who prefers to buy the complete quartets by one ensemble, then the sets by Quatuor Mosaiques are highly regarded. If you are someone who already owns a box set of Haydn's complete string quartets, you might still want to give this disk a listen. If you are someone who has never really explored Haydn's music or chamber music in general, this disk might just get you hooked.
Revelatory perfornces of great music.......2006-02-16
Until I heard this disc I was perfectly happy with the Kodaly recording of the two opus 77 quartets, but the playing on this recording is revelatory. The phrasing, the management of dynamics, the beautiful sounds of the instruments and, above all, the way the four musicians listen to each each are absolutely 5 star. This has become my favorite Haydn quartet recording and my favorite L'Archibudelli recording. Quartet lovers should write to SONY and ask for more L'Archibudelli recordings of Haydn quartets and of Mozart's quartets #14-#19 dedicated to Haydn.
Revelatory.......2005-12-05
Listening to this recording profoundly deepened my appreciation and understanding of Haydn's accomplishment. Haydn developed the string quartet form and in these late works we hear it brought to perfection. Here is the foundation for Beethoven's great quartets. L'Achibudelli's "period" approach makes the structure of these pieces apparent, while still retaining the warmth and pathos of the music. The playing is extrordinary, the color and tempos are just right, and the recording quality is superb. If you have any interest in string quartets or Haydn (or both) this CD is essential.
Essential listening........2003-09-14
IMHO this is historic: the finest record of any string quartets by anybody ever made. Stretch? Listen to how the phrases dovetail tonally from part to part, how the figures flow so easily on gut strings, the glorious viola sound, utterly unlike the dull modern sound, the relaxed energy and effortless blend of identities of it all. This is truly a best guess as to what pre-industrial classical quartets really sounded like. Check out Immerseel's Anima Eterna group doing Schubert for the closest orchestral comparison.
Haydn, the Modernist.......2001-11-17
Well, this may be going a little far, but of course many of Haydn's late compositions point their way forward. The choral writing in his late oratorios and masses showed Beethoven the way in his two masses, especially the Missa Solemnis. And then Haydn's symphonies used novel devices that propelled all of High Classical symphonic writing: the use of motives, rather than whole melodies, that gave symphonic fast movements great concision and motoric thrust.
In the world of the string quartet, too, Haydn, not Mozart, is the model for Bethoven and Schubert--even Schumann. The first of the Op. 77 quartets tells you why. Though called a minuet still, the third movement is a genuine scherzo of Beethovenian stripe, and the last movement, with its perpetuum mobile codetta, sounds very much like the more Dionysiac passages in Beethoven's quartets. (The wonderful last movement of the of Op. 59, No. 3, comes to mind immediately.)
Here is a chance to examine this side of Haydn in two quartets that show him still at the height of his powers. Even the Op. 103, which Haydn couldn't complete because of failing health, has a strangely menacing-sounding minuet that takes us into a darker part of the soul than the Classical era almost ever explored.
These performances are very fine indeed, though note that they employ period instruments. If the Kodaly or Lindsay Quartet is your paradigm in Haydn, you may be disappointed by the lack of vibrato and the steelier tone that gut strings impart. That said, these are models of period performance practice, with a fleetness in the faster movements and a sober, dry-eyed approach to the more inward music that sounds just right for this late 18th-century music. The inclusion of the transcription of Haydn's song about growing old adds an especially apt note to the proceedings, given that Op. 103 was Haydn's farewell to music.

The "Clinker" of the bunch.......2006-12-19
Having collected the entire "The Masterworks" series (including the Bach and Mozart Complete Works) this set is the 'clinker' of the bunch. First off... 6 CD's of Lieder 'historic' (pre-historic) recordings. No Overtures, No Orchestral Seranades, No Haydn Variations?? The performances of the Symphonies and the Concertos are shakey and not very well recorded. Brilliant Classics, who has done such a wonderful job with the Hadyn Complete Symphonies (licensed from Nimbus), the Mozart and Bach Complete sets, has stumbled a bit with this release.

christmas music.......2007-01-14
this was a very nice cd for quiet listening, but it did not inspire any emotional feelings.
Relaxing it is........2007-01-09
This music could be played at any Dentist or Doctor's office just to take the edge off. It's not a masterpiece, but it is relaxing.
Here's Your Chance to Hear the Masters and Masterpieces of Christmas Music in Superb Sound.......2006-01-08
Decca has come out with the "Ultimate" Series of albums, ranging from Opera Divas to Tango, from Patriotic to Relaxing Classical. I ordered this album last fall from a high school student in my neighborhood going door to door raising funds for her hockey team. I had no idea what the Christmas music was, I just wanted something relaxing. When it arrived in the mail I was delighted to hear favorites from my youth - Annunzio P. Mantovani, Frank Chacksfield (remember him?), and Ronnie Aldrich - all remastered in terrific sound! The liner notes are fun to read, providing a story for each carol and song. This generous album of 22 tracks runs a total time of 63:25, providing holiday ambience from Thanksgiving through New Years Day.

New Age flute, be gone!!.......2005-12-31
Nativitas is a good recording of 23 Christmas classics, such as "Adam Lay Ybounden" and "O Magnum Mysterium". I say "good" because interspersed among some of the pieces is this cloying New Age flute. It really gets annoying when the flute plays over the choir on the last song, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing". I bought the CD to hear the excellent choir, not a flute that doesn't know its place.
If you aren't annoyed by the flute, then you can mark the CD up to excellent. It is more ethereal than happy, so take that into consideration before buying. (I like "ethereal" better myself.) And a poor choice was made in including "Once in Royal David's City" without a solo for the first verse. King's College does that one so much better, New College should have tried something else.
With those caveats, I recommend the CD.
Buy it and love it.......2002-12-28
This cd continues to be my favourite Christmas cd, after repeated playings, year after year. I can't say that there is anything that I don't like about it, it's absolutely fabulous, a real gem.
What Christmas Is REALLY All About.......1999-11-22
During the rush of the Christmas season, oftentimes we forget what Christmas is really all about. In an exceptionally beautiful and reverent way, NATIVITAS reminds us of how God's love came to us in the birth of Jesus Christ. The music takes us on a journey of a spiritual nature with beautiful a cappella voices of the Choir of New College. An exquisite flute transitions medieval, classical and contemporary carols which have been intelligently arranged thus giving the listener a peaceful and reflective musical experience.
Especially beautiful are "The Little Road to Bethlehem" and the "Stille Nacht".
NATIVITAS is a celebration of what all christians hold most dear--God's grace and God's love for each one of us. Through listening, it reminds us once again what Christmas is REALLY all about. Highly recommended.

Very Nice.......2007-01-10
Eufish is an excellent album. Mark Fisher plays the euphonium superb and it sounds wonderful. Only one thing I don't like... the movements should've been recorded separately for each track in the continuo in F minor instead of cutting it into tracks. I liked some movements better than others :D.
Aside from that, very nice.
BRAVO to the River City Duo.......2003-10-21
This an absolute superb recording. Mark Fisher and Mark Lawson are magnificient. Every track renders a gift for the ears. Smooth, uplifting, and thought provoking. This is worth getting one for yourself and one for every friend you believe has good taste. Enjoy!
The perfect match.......2002-11-12
These two childhood friends from State Street in Mason City, IA grew up across the street from each other. Now twenty five years later they are the perfect match in the beautiful album. The CD solution for a soothing drive home.
Superb.......2002-09-26
This is a superbly done CD. Pianist and euphonium player work great together. Listen to the nuances in phrasing in the Bach. Pianist is every bit as superb as the euphonium soloist. Bravo!!!
Outstanding!.......2002-06-29
Sonata for flute & keyboard in E flat major, second movement, (Siciliano)was my favorite. I was moved to tears. #26 on this CD from the Carnival of Venis was played and recorded so well that I had to move my chair back a bit. I mean this in the kindest way,I'm sure I could feel the spit fly! (I have an new sterio) That counter melody thing is astonishing! You must hear it.

This generous disc of duets for soprano and mezzo-soprano offers a wonderful selection: from the very familiar "Barcarolle" of Tales of Hoffmann, the "Flower Duet" of Madama Butterfly, and the Presentation of the Rose in Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier to the more exotic Anna Bolena-Giovanna Seymour duet from Donizetti's opera and Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito, there's not a bad piece of music or performance here. To be sure, these two singers do certain things better than others--Hei-Kyung Hong's silvery soprano is not ideal for the emotional outpourings (and low notes) of either Anna Bolena or Butterfly, but it's a perfect fit for Sophie in Rosenkavalier, Cleopatra ,and Poppea. Jennifer Larmore's creamy, agile mezzo is gloriously suave in the "Barcarolle," her Seymour is compelling, and her Adalgisa is stunning, but the voice lacks some of the color necessary for Octavian or Nero. But this is a very high-class, entertaining undertaking, and the program is nicely varied. Love good singing? Here you are. --Robert Levine

Voices of Angels!.......2007-03-08
Purchased for one song: Viens Malika (lockme), but like the entire cd. Purchased a few more elsewhere and gave as gifts to my opera buff colleagues.
Where Is the Sparkle?.......2003-11-11
I found this CD very disappointing. To paraphrase Mark Twain, I was hoping for lightning, but found only a lightning bug. Something seems slightly OFF in the blending of their voices in some of the tracks. They are not the worst I've heard, but I have not "imported" any of this CD's tracks to my computer's hard drive to listen to while I'm doing other work. Verrett and Caballe are the ones to listen to if you wish to hear how bel canto duets SHOULD be done.
Miss Hong not in her element.......2003-01-11
This recording must have been driven by the Larmore camp. For Miss Larmore, who was in good voice for this recording, the selections were in her fach for most of the CD. However, the same cannot be said for Miss Hong. Especially disappointing was the Anna Bolena. Miss Hong's voice is much too light for this role. Additionally, she chose not the take many of the upper embellishments more suited for her voice. Miss Hong should have researched her options more carefully on this selection seeing that it takes up 15 minutes on the CD. Similarly, Miss Hong was not well suited for Butterfly. Both divas were out of tune on the Hoffmann. However, the Lakmé was one of the more beautiful recordings I have heard. Likewise, the Rosenkavalier was particularly affecting and the Norma was immaculately in tune.
If you choose to buy this recording, buy it because you want to here a mezzo in good voice. It's a showcase for Miss Larmore. Although Miss Hong is a wonderful singer, this recording does not show what her voice can do when she is in her element.
Magnificent!! 5 stars do not suffice!!.......2002-12-20
I was astounded by the quality of the singing and the absolutely gorgeous music that was sung on this album. The two singers sing like goddesses and are very committed to the drama of the music.
The sound is excellent, both spacious and crystal-clear. Teldec sure knows how to capture voices and operatic music on CD. Many thanks to Teldec for recording this exquisitely sung duet album. If only they were around to record a duet album featuring Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne. Now that would have been great!
The soprano, Hei-Kyung Hong, has an excellent coloratura technique. Her trills vary from mediocre to very good. Overall, her fioritura is first-rate. Her diction is crystal clear. Her Italian is exquisite. Almost every "r" is rolled. Her French is generally excellent. Her German is quite good. I love the sound of her voice. It is bright and silvery-toned with a brilliant top. The mezzo-soprano is Jennifer Larmore. She has a gorgeous voice, rich and dark. Her voice reminded me of the voice of that great coloratura mezzo, Marilyn Horne. Her coloratura may be a bit below that of the soprano's but it is more than passable. Her trills also range from mediocre to very good. Her diction is sometimes obscured by her rich tone but it is generally excellent. Her track record with rolling the "r's" is not as good as the soprano's but it is more than passable.
The first duet is the Barcarolle from Offenbach's "Les Contes d'Hoffman". I had never heard it before. The simple yet exquisite quality of the music is just wonderful. Both singers acquit themselves admirably in this duet. Their voices blend together beautifully in this love duet.
The second duet is the wonderful duet from Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier". I had never heard this duet before. Strauss' music is sparkling and brilliant, an absolute joy to the ears. The two singers are wonderful in this duet.
The third duet is a fine love duet from Handel's "Giulio Cesare". The harp accompaniment is fantastic. It was the harpsichord's sounds that made this duet so enjoyable. Handel did a great job writing the music for this very fine opera. Hong is breathtaking in this duet. Larmore supports her wonderfully. I can't decide if I like this duet the most or the one from "L'incoronazione di Poppea". The notes in the booklet say that this duet comes at the end of the opera. This is incorrect. It comes well before the end of the opera.
The fourth duet is from Claudio Monteverdi's underperfomed and underappreciated masterpiece, "L'incoronazione di Poppea". It was an absolute delight to hear this exquisite duet with its fine Baroque music. From Hong's first note, the listener knows that he/she is in for a wonderful treat. The perfomance of this duet is so good that words do not do it justice.
The fifth duet is from Mozart's "La Clemenza di Tito". I didn't realize that Mozart could write such fine Baroque music. The music is beautiful and noble. The singing is excellent.
The sixth duet is the Flower Duet from Léo Delibes' "Lakmé". It is an exquisite piece of French music. I love this duet. No wonder it is considered by many to be the most beautiful operatic piece ever composed. The singing done by Hong and Larmore is transcendental. Mere words cannot describe the sounds that they make with their beautiful voices.
The seventh duet is from Bellini's "Norma". What you get is wonderful, vigorous bel canto music at its best and gorgeous singing by two very able singers. The coloratura is amazing! The staccati notes done in unison are wonderful. The high notes of both singers are powerful and clear. Larmore makes a powerful and convincing Adalgisa, but Hong is clearly not suited to Norma. She doesn't have the temperament to sing the role and her voice is too light to tackle the role's heavy dramatic demands.
The eighth duet is from Donizetti's masterpiece, "Anna Bolena". The bel canto melody found in this piece of music is very fine indeed. Hong tries her best to sound like Bolena, but this role does not show her in the best light. Her voice is too light for this heavy role and she doesn't have the queen's regal temperament. Larmore is very convincing as the repentent Jane Seymour. The singing is fabulous. So is the diction of the two singers. The high C done in unison that ends the duet is spectacular and breathtaking.
The ninth duet is from Puccini's "Madama Butterfly". This is the other Flower Duet on the album. The singing is magnificent. Larmore makes a very fine Suzuki. Hong's Cio-Cio San is excellent. She would make a fine recorded Butterfly. She is, after all, Asian. Some people say she is not good enough to be a Butterfly. I strongly disagree. If Freni and Scotto, two of the lightest-voiced sopranos to have sung the role, were allowed to record "Madama Butterfly", then Hong should be able to do so too.
The tenth duet is from Rossini's "Tancredi". This taxing piece of bel canto is handled superbly by Hong and Larmore. It is 10 minutes and 35 seconds of some of the most difficult coloratura ever written. I was astounded by the singers' amazing virtuosity in this piece. They show us why their coloratura techniques are world-class. The trills, runs over octaves, and roulades are tossed off expertly. Even though this music is very taxing, they still manage to characterize! Sutherland and Horne would be proud.
The eleventh and last duet is from Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hänsel und Gretel". The duet opens with beautiful music but I found this piece to be the weakest of the selections chosen for this album. The music doesn't rise to new heights after the opening notes. The singing is more than average but the piece is not a good showcase for the talent of these two singers. Really, another duet from a better opera should have been included that would have done justice to these singers' unique talent.
Finally, I have to comment on the superb conducting and orchestral playing on this album. Jesús López Cobos is an above average conductor, that's for sure. His conducting supports the singers very well and never intrudes upon their singing. The Münchner Rundfunkorchester provides excellent orchestral playing. They never play too loudly as to drown out the singers. Overall, this duet album is one of the finest ever made with two female singers.
More Duet, less Recit-chat.......2002-01-11
While the vocal talents of these two ladies is considerable, and the duets, when they get to them, are lovely, thrilling and so forth, there is way too much recitative included. It would not be an exaggeration to say that 2/3 of this CD is recitative. Added to that, Teldec has not bothered to include side-by-side translations of the text. Instead, previous to the text, are synopsi of the plots of the various scenes. These things really detract from the overall listening enjoyment. I would prefer just to listen to the duets, but even all the recitative wouldn't be that bad if the translations were included.
