Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Cosi Fan Tutte Mattila, Van Otter, Araiza, Van Dam, Allen Academy of St Martin in the Fields Neville Marriner Decca, June 1 2009
One of the most underrated operas of Mozart... We are totally wrong when, listening to this opera, we look in it for overwhelming scenes, profound charateres or majestic sounds, as we tend to do with the Figaro and Don Giovanni. Così Fan Tutte has its own, peculiar, fantastic, pure and white beauty. Maybe its time is yet to come... Our society is too far from a real understanding of its inner perfection.
Agree with the above. Very underrated... After listening to Figaro, Seraglio and Giovanni for the millionth time, I find myself really enjoying the lightheartedness of this opera. And Sir Neville is the man.
@@taf44tt8io yeah good for you. I love it when people feel the need to one up something posted here with how some other recording was even better or their favorite. JFC can anyone just remark about how they liked something without being pointed about how something else was even better or their favorite? Performances should be enjoyed and appreciated for their own merits. Will never understand the need to invalidate all other recordings in favor of their one single favorite recording.
I've heard a few renditions of Cossi Fan Tutte, including two live ones, but Sir Neville Marriner took the lead for all. Mozart's humor is passed on very well through the 2 lead women performing. I've also never heard such broad range singing for Cosi Fan Tutte, specially with the Mezzo Soprano. The main guys also match the skill range beautifully. I had to look outward and "upward" to thank Mozart for his humor transferring through his music. Thank you Sir Marriner for conducting the orchestra in such a light hearted manner. Sauludos a usted en Mexico, desde Silicon Valley, Cali. :-)

deathmare1, Play it with true, live inner feeling. That is the way to convey true culture. When your soul links on to spirit as happened to Mozart, then you know you are performing True Culture. That is what is meant to be truly alive.
Um enorme Mozart mas também, não esquecer, Lorenzzo da Ponte, que escreveu o libreto (este, o das Bodas e o D.Giovanni). Uma colaboração excelentíssima, que permitiu a Mozart escrever as suas três obras-primas. Estas suas óperas têm a raridade de perdermos a noção de que a ópera é teatro cantado, mas pelo contrário, é um momento de vida e de representação da realidade sem qualquer artificialismo (nós não falamos a cantar e nisso a ópera é uma artificialidade acabada). É esse o grande, o excepcional mérito das três óperas que Mozart escreveu juntamente com Da Ponte
Eine sehr elegante Aufnahme, die übrigens auch vom Marionettentheater Salzburg für ihre Marionetten-Aufführung dieser Oper genutzt wurde und die als DVD mit dreisprachigen Kommentaren von Peter Ustinov erhältlich ist.
Buena versión. Se extraña cierta vitalidad en los interpretes, pero estan correctos en sus difíciles papeles. Esta opera es una de las definitivas del arte lírico. Gracias por subir.
@Jonathan: it's definitely part of the opera, but I've come across many versions/stagings where that little part (what is it, less than a minute? But so beautiful!) is left out. For example the Ponnelle Cosi film omits it.
to be honest this has to be the worst recording of Cosi I have ever heard hands down, to my mind we have a cast that seems uninterested in the procedings. it sounds like this is the first run through where they perhaps have first sung their roles, the voices seem to fade on the last phrase if it even makes it that far. thier are many fine recording of this opera and this is not one of them.
Araiza was at that time the most prominent Tenor that Philips classics had under contract, but he is definiteively no Mozart Singer very bad performance of un aura amorosa, schmalzig at it's worst.
I saw a performance of Cosi last night in Phoenix. I usually prefer his German operas, but what barbarian is going to skip out on a performance of Don Giovanni, Le Nozze or this. This is a particularly good recording. I’ve listened to all the Bohm recordings, but actually never liked the Schwarzkopf/Ludwig pairing for everything. They were two great and very serious artists, but I found Schwarzkopf a bit pedantic at times. It can make something light, like this opera, a little…….turgid 😑
This is the only thing currently helping me from losing my mind with transport in London... 😂😬😩

Sono assolutamente d'accordo con te!

Pinnacle of perfection!! One of those fantistic pieces of music that makes life worth living.
Just as you say -- the sound of perfection.

please fix the date. It has been recorded at London in 1990
I absolutely love this rendition of Herr Mozart's Cosi fan Tutte. Thank you so much for posting.
Marriner's 'Entfürung' I have on album. Great opera conductor...fine cast...beautifully recorded....
Very nice way of rendering the Cosi. Quite complex piece of music anyway.
30:38
That's God taking over Mozart's composition.
Thank you so much for sharing this great recording. Francisco Araiza, Thomas Allen and Jose Van Dam - three of my all time favorites together!

melomano0077,
Nosotros creemos lo mismo. Mozart era el genio del arte lirico.
Excellent recording
Моцарт гений 🌿🌿🌿
35-38 makes me sigh with gratitude every time.
Tinto Brass brought me here out of classical curiosity...
Una delicia para los oídos
1:30:35 - 1:31:30... that’s new. Are there multiple versions of this opera, or was I hallucinating??
Seems to fit my score...
@Jonathan: it's definitely part of the opera, but I've come across many versions/stagings where that little part (what is it, less than a minute? But so beautiful!) is left out. For example the Ponnelle Cosi film omits it.
It's the same and unique version
34:52
Funny, I was just looking for that EXACT time, lol.
Wow! A great recording!
I just love Cossi fan Tutte, Mozart is my favourite composer! Sir Neville Marriner is a wonderful conductor!!
Not on this occasion😉
gefällt mir sehr gut!

You know that's a fairy tale, right?
So good
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Divine music written to crude subject matter
Not crude. Idiotic and human. Unforgivable and forgiven.
But not to an 18th century audience.

Araiza was at that time the most prominent Tenor that Philips classics had under contract, but he is definiteively no Mozart Singer very bad performance of un aura amorosa, schmalzig at it's worst.
far too slow, surely one of the worst recordings of cosi. I alwalys thought Klemperer was the slomo-conductor
