Various - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro

�He was out to create something �unheard-of�,� observed conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt beforehand. And true to form: What the conductor had to offer as he commenced his Mozart/Da Ponte cycle in the Theater an der Wien was something we �had never before heard like this� (Kurier). Nikolaus Harnoncourt, �master� of period performance practice, realized a project that had long been one of his dearest wishes: for the first time, he and his �original-sound orchestra� Concentus Musicus and his personal choice of singers were presenting the complete Mozart/Da Ponte cycle and harvesting the fruits of his Mozart research � an �enthusiastically acclaimed cycle!� (news.at).
