Most helpful review Nina - Paisiello

  • Italy's Mozart

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Robert Smith from Ashby de la Zouch , 24 Oct 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I decided to try this dvd on the

    previous review. I was delighted with

    the music, which was very much in the

    style of Mozart, and indeed I would

    have thought it was composed by Mozart. With Cecilia Bartoli as

    Nina, and Laszlo Polgar as her dad,

    the singing was first rate. Laszlo

    Polgar is an excellent bass, and

    I look at the cast of every opera

    to see if he is included. I must

    say that I am a little fed up with

    hearing the three tenors, and would

    appreciate having three basses on

    recordings.

  • Interesting and essential for fans of Bartoli and especially Kaufmann

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By DeryckB (7 reviews) , 05 Jul 2011
    I'm a great fan of both Cecilia Bartoli and Jonas Kaufmann. This is essential viewing for fans of the latter as it shows him performing at an earliesh stage of his career. The performances are fine and the music is also delightful. The form of the opera is interesting, but unusual. The music is interspersed with a great deal of spoken dialogue. A kind of opera buffo in opera seria mode. The story is also rather impausible.

  • A paradox

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Manchester South , 03 Feb 2005
    This seemed to be a very humdrum offering which didn't seem to be worth the effort of watching. I left it running because I had nothing better to do at the time and soon I began to realise I was enjoying it. As I say, the story was commonplace, but the music, the singing and presentation, had a sort of magnetic attraction that had me enthralled. I watched it again the next night before sending it back and was delighted by all the nuances I discovered the second time round.
