Harnoncourt, a notable cellist, performs in two concertos and on gamba in one. Vocalists Perry, Holl, and Schreier sing with distinction. 5.1 DTS Surround Sound makes clear they revel in the acoustics of the visually magnificent Baroque library of Wiblingen Monastery. “Highly accomplished playing from all the Concentus Musicus." Gramophone Harnoncourt says, “If we lose contact with the great works of Bach, we lose our contact with humanity.” This DVD makes staying in touch with this gift pure joy. RETURN TO THE TOP

In the harmony of staging and music, this is one of the most impressive Mozart performances Vienna has offered in a long time...Breaking tradition with tradition, it seeks to fulfil his intentions as closely as possible."

	Cat. No.: 074 3305 Barcode: 0044007433058 Label: Decca 2DVD Release Date: October			Juan Diego Flórez \| Rossini: La Cenerentola ARTISTS *Angelina: Joyce DiDonato Ramiro: Juan Diego Flórez Don Magnifico: Bruno De Simone Dandini: David Menéndez Alidoro*: Simón Orfila *Clorinda: Cristina Obregón Tisbe: Itxaro Mentxaka Orchestra & Chorus of the Gran Teatre del Liceu Patrick Summers TRACK LISTING ROSSINI: La Cenerentola DVD 1: Act I DVD 2: Act 2 Tenor superstar, Juan Diego Flórez, adds the role of Prince Ramiro in Rossini’s sparkling comedy La Cenerentola*, to his rapidly growing catalogue of performances on Decca DVD. Taking the title role in one of Rossini’s most popular operas is one of today’s great Cinderellas, the American mezzo-soprano, Joyce DiDonato. The DVD presents Joan Font’s strikingly colourful, toy-town staging of Perrault’s tale, using dancers as rats, and finally revealing the action to have been Cinderella’s dream. Filmed in Barcelona’s Liceu Theatre, the production was first seen, with Joyce DiDonato as Cinderella, a year previously at the Houston Grand Opera, to enormous critical acclaim. RETURN TO THE TOP
