| In a review of a recent recording of Scarlatti's opera Griselda, Anthony Tommasini wrote in the New York Times of February 6, 2005, "The top-notch cast is headed by the rich-voiced soprano Dorothea Röschmann, in the title role, and the fine young countertenor Lawrence Zazzo, as Gualtiero. The excellent tenor Kobie van Rensburg, who made an impressive Metropolitan Opera debut this season in Handel's "Rodelinda," sings Prince Corrado, the king's friend. Conducting the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Mr. Jacobs elicits a performance at once stylistically informed and wonderfully spontaneous." |
