Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] (complete recorded in 2006) BLU-RAY

"The availability on (Blu-ray) of any production by Giorgio Strehler, even one recorded many years after it was new, is automatically a major event. But this film - a 2006 revival of Strehler's Le Nozze di Figaro from 1980 - is much more than a simple document of an important director's style. This is above all a heartfelt performance of a heartfelt masterpiece, and in the end Strehler's work is inseparable from the contributions of the conductor, designers and cast.

A representative example of the integration of elements comes with the Act III sextet. This piece may never have been performed with such a sense of a real situation - of real people working through things one point at a time. Conductor Gérard Korsten insists on a true andante tempo, and the singers know how each role fits into the larger picture. There is no slapstick or stylization, and the emotional release for the audience is all the greater for the length at which it has been earned." (OperaNews)
