Title: Achieves the impossible
Review: You would think it would be impossible to make Mozart look and sound cheap and boring. From the start you get the feeling of emptiness and general lack of ideas. The settings and costumes are uninspired and just plain cheap. The tempo of the orchestra is slow and sounds tired. The voices are good but the ensembles just don't sound right. The Count sounds good but looks more like a country boor than an aristocrat, Susanna looks way too modern and I believe that this must be one of the least attractive Cherubinos on record. I was not able to finish watching the DVD.
