Title: 'wonderful'
Review: This 1967 recording of Cosi fan tutte was the first to offer theopera absolutely complete. The music is delightful and beautifullyexecuted by the LPO under the firm leadership of Erich Leinsdorf.Leontyne Price and Tatiana Troyanos are most winning as the twosisters - their style may not be entirely "mozartian" but the sheerlusciousness of their voices and the warmth and vibrancy they bringto their characters is just irresistible. As their lovers GeorgeShirley and Sherrill Milnes have handsome voices and their interplayis most effective. Judith Raskin is a vivacious Despina but her toneis not very ingratiating and her 'funny moments'are a bit overdone -too bad Reri Grist was not chosen instead. Ezio Flagello is a rich-voiced no-nonsense Alfonso. Very well recorded and highly enjoyable.
