Title: less than I'd hoped for
Product review: There is something exciting about Solti's energy in this recording. I must confess that I don't understand the enthusiasm about Deutekom. As one reviewer said, she has great staccati, but I think they are terribly exaggerated. The Queen of the Night's music is the only Italianate music in a thoroughly German opera; Deutekom conveys little sense of an Italian line, and she has a very odd way of emphasizing every note. She doesn't have the sheer heft of Moser, or the beautiful bell tones of Popp, or the extraordinary technique of Anderson.
