"With the ever-responsive Concentus Musicus, [Harnoncourt] duly mines the comically disruptive potential of Haydn's music with unabashed glee... The comic leads are ideally cast...an inventive, thoroughly entertaining performance of a zany, sometimes touching comedy. If you're still sceptical about Haydn's operas, this may convert you." Gramophone Magazine, January 2010
First Haydn Il Mondo della Luna (which has blissful Mozartian spirit) available on DVD and Blu-ray!
