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.
