Freiburger Barockorchester Recorded at the Spiegelsaal, Castle Coethen, 23–26 March 2000 “...what is probably the world's top Baroque orchestra ... It is conceivable, however, that no troupe could perform with the exuberant aplomb and skill of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. Their playing is buoyant, technically spot-on and alive with effortlessly controlled energy... we should be grateful for every second in the company of an orchestra like this.” Gramophone Magazine | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Mark Padmore (Tito), Alexandrina Pendatchanska (Vitellia), Bernarda Fink (Sesto), Marie-Claude Chappuis (Annio), Sunhae Im (Servilia) & Sergio Foresti (Publio) RIAS Kammerchor & Freiburger Barockorchester, René Jacobs “René Jacobs’ splendid recording of this opera arrives after Charles Mackerras’ set featuring Magdalena Kozená. Here the singing honours are more evenly spread, and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra’s period instruments add terrific punch. The revelation is the Bulgarian Alexandrina Pendatchanska, jaggedly dramatic as Vitellia. Eloquence shines from Bernarda Fink’s Sextus, while Mark Padmore’s emperor is intelligent and human.” The Times | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
