"A version that gets the best of both interpretative worlds, new and old." (Five Stars Penguin Stereo Guide)
Throughout the 1980's, Nikolaus Harnoncourt recorded all of Mozart's stage works as part of a major project. Of the recording of The Marriage of Figaro the Penguin Guide said: "Harnoncourt makes the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra produce fresh, light and transparent sounds, close to period style. The excellent cast has Thomas Hampson as a dominant Count, Charlotte Margiono as a tenderly sweet Countess, with Barbara Bonney a charmingly provocative Susanna and Anton Scharinger a winning Figaro, both tough and comic. A version that gets the best of both interpretative worlds, new and old."
