Così Fan Tutte (2001)

Deze opname bevat geen libretto (wel een boekje met plotbeschrijving per acte). Daarom 3 CD's te leen voor de prijs van 2. Het is een live-opname uit 1992 met de nu gevierde Finse sopraan Soile Isokoski als Fiordiligi. "The Kuijken recording is extremely enjoyable. It's lighter in mood than Gardiner's. Nearly all the tempos are quicker and there is more sense of spontaneity. (bedoeld wordt de DVD-opname met Roocroft, ook bij ons te leen). There is one rather interesting difference between these two performances. Mozart very rarely wrote dynamic or accentuation marks into his singers' parts; the singers were expected to learn their music from a repetiteur (or Mozart himself) and take their cues from what they heard in performance. Gardiner has his singers follow, meticulously, the orchestral dynamics; Kuijken leaves them, more or less, to sing with what they hear. This is a symptomatic difference: one performance is highly wrought, the other freer and more natural. A pleasing and lively Cosi." (Gramophone)
