Title: addictive, fascinating, delightful opera
Product review: I listen to a lot of rarely performed operas. Sometimes I find a real hidden treasure--but not usually. I listened to this disc once and thought it was kind of nice. By the second and third time, though, I was really getting it and loving it. I purchased it because I'm up for anything with Juliane Banse (we had just watched her Schumann "Genoveva" DVD again), but all the principles in this performance are great. The amazing thing for me is how many of the numbers are distinctive and memorable, sort of like hook-laden pop tunes. This CD is great fun. I'm just glad that Helmuth Rilling put it together for our benefit!
