PRESS REVIEWS
"An evening of overwhelming beauty." (Le Monde - La Clemenza di Tito)
"Carlos Álvarez ... wholly dominates this opera with a nasty, driven reading of the lecher and bully. Like London, he sings with dark-hued intensity throughout. His must be the best Don about today." (Gramophone - Don Giovanni)
"...they are good actors! Lorenzo Regazzo as Figaro is a find: lively, young-looking and equipped with a strong, steady bass-voice, full of expression." (Musicweb International - Le Nozze di Figaro)
"... one of the three perfect operatic performances that I have ever been to." (BBC Music Magazine - Così fan tutte)
" Constantinos Carydis conducts the excellent Netherlands CO with zest and a fair sense of period style." (Gramophone - Die Entführung aus dem Serail)
"Don't miss this visually enchanting and thought-provoking treat." (Gramophone - Die Zauberflöte)
"A vocal ensemble of the highest quality ... this was scintillating as well as moving Mozart." (Salzburger Volkszeitung - Idomeneo)
