Customer Reviews of Cecilia & Bryn: At Glyndebourne - Arias & Duets
Magic, just magic I'd first seen this performance on CBC TV(Canada) in 2001 and immediately knew I was watching something special.
On this DVD one gets to see and hear not only two great virtuosos in what must be their absolute singing prime, but also two incredible actors who obvious absolutely love what they are doing: And if that wasn't enough you get to listen to a magnificent orchestra who has a conductor (Myung-Whun Chung)with impeccable timing. Also the camera work and film editing is wonderfully done (Brian Large): just the right facial expression, just the right cut to the next camera for the most appropriate view: just the right angle to see the cello player come in on a certain note to accompanying the vocalist.
I would like to add that this has, without a doubt, become my favorite opera DVD: and Donizetti's "Quanto amore" from the Elixer of Love is my favorite piece. Although there are several others that are truly wonderful ("madamina", "La ci darem la mano" and "Pa-pa-pa" just to mention a few)
It is the definitive mix of Singer-Conductor-Orchestra blending together to become a single classical entity.
This performance is magic, just magic! What a thrill it must have been to have witnessed live; Too bad there wasn't more.
Byrn and Bartoli having FUN together!
I'm not a fan of Bartoli and bought this based on the review here by other fans and because I love Terfel. Enjoyed the CD and the DVD of course is better as the interaction is very entertaining and makes the concert much more meaningful. I did enjoy this very much and feel Terfel is a master performer bringing Bartoli up a notch. I agree with the other reviewers. A must have in any collection! It wasn't long enough is my only complaint.
Bravo Bryn!!!
Since I got this DVD a week ago, I have watched it at least once a day, & I love it more with each viewing. I was already a fan of Bartoli, but now am an even bigger fan of Terfel's! The charisma, skill & subtlety he demonstrates in this performance are only equaled by the beauty of his voice. Figaro's rage at the Count's scheming, the comic turn of the catalog aria from Don Giovanni, the heroism of "Arm, Arm ye Brave" from Judas Maccabeus...all are given life with seemingly effortless precision by this talented Welsh artist. All this, and Cecilia too!! A must see!!! A must own!!!!!
