This new release features five outstanding operas from the legendary Teatro Alla Scala. The selections include Aida: "A perfect coup de theatre" (Giornale della Musica); I Due Foscari: "[Domingo's performance] was sublime"; Die Zauberflote: "[Adam Fischer] gets the best out of the Academy Orchestra with delicate execution and humane phrasing" (Die Presse); Le Nozze Di Figaro: "... when Diana Damrau enters as the Countess, we get a performance of special gravitas. Even the orchestra, under Franz Welser- Most's baton, melts to such grace" (Financial Times); and Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail: A "masterful use of light and silhouettes" (Milano Post)
