About

The name of Josef Krips is associated the world over with the finest ensemble opera. This is readily apparent in this Orfeo recording of Così, live from the Vienna State Opera and not previously available on CD.
 
For all its precision, Krips's approach still leaves ample scope for spontaneity and allows his whole cast to blossom: the mercurially bright and vocally agile Despina of Olivera Miljakovic and the cynical Don Alfonso of Eberhard Waechter, here playing a character part for the first time in his career - a début as surprising as that of the young Adolf Dallapozza as Ferrando.
 
The rest of the cast reads like a Who's Who of the Vienna opera-going public's favourite singers. Gundula Janowitz sings Fiordiligi with her usual crystalline intonation and lyrical inwardness, without ever underplaying the work's sense of drama. As Dorabella, Christa Ludwig demonstrates that extensive experience of a role does not necessarily lead to a lack of temperament, which also applies to the Guglielmo of Walter Berry, whose bass-baritone voice retains its pristine freshness.
 
The Chorus and Orchestra of the Vienna State Opera round off a Mozart recording that is no mere afterthought to the Mozart celebrations of 2006 or even a historical retrospective but a lesson in how first-rate
performances of Mozart's operas should be presented.
