Critics

CLASSICA – March 2005

Carlo Ipata’s direction is acute and dynamic. A little delight, soft and smart.

L’OPERA – January 2005

The performance demonstrates technical ability, enthusiasm and expressive freshness.

AMADEUS – January 2005

The two protagonists embrace all the expressive nuances of the love fight and parody. There’s verve and spontaneity and an eloquent instrumental approach.

CLASSIC VOICE – January 2005

Funny and laughable listening.

KLASSIK – January 2005

To act, not just to sing! Recordings are excellent and moving.

LE MOND DE LA MUSIQUE – December 2004

AuserMusici demonstrate dynamism.

DIAPASON – December 2004

Remarkable Elena Cecchi Fedi’s voice… and the perfect elegance of the instrumentals.

IL GIORNALE DELLA MUSICA – November 2004

The performance of the three singers Elena Cecchi Fedi, Lucia Sciannimanico and Marco Orestano Cristarella is truly beautiful, convincing and involving. They can dive with effectiveness and fair theatrality in these two fascinating pages, while being supported with brio and liveliness by the instrumental group AuserMusici, directed with cleverness, good taste and absolute propriety by Carlo Ipata.
