Mozart: La Finta Giardiniera (dvd) / Haim
Label: ERATO Catalog: 825646166459 Format: DVD In spring of 2014, Emmanuelle Haïm conducted her orchestra Le Concert d'Astrée and a carefully-chosen cast in La Finta Giardiniera, staged by the French director David Lescot, in the cities of Lille and Dijon; the production was described by the French newspaper La Croix as “three hours of pure happiness.” This video recording from Lille joins Haïm’s Erato DVDs of operas by Monteverdi (L’incoronazione di Poppea), Rameau (Hippolyte et Aricie) and Handel (Giulio Cesare). As the French music magazine Diapason wrote, “A director who is skilled at marrying word and music, David Lescot took ownership of the score, sensing its pulse, its respiration, its nuances and its schisms.” Price: $39.98 |
