A little too much and poor sound quality.......2006-11-10

Even though this was recorded just a couple of years ago the sound quality is not that good. It sounds like it was recorded in the 70s and outside with the microphones far away. There is nothing too deep here and all the fanfares are fairly short, just lasting a few seconds it seems. I got tired of this pretty quickly and it doesn't stand up to repeated listenings and to be honest a lot of the stuff on here sounds the same. The performances are ok, but nothing special, they sound kind of flat, and they don't really do anything to make this sound exciting like it should. Maybe if the performance and sound was better I would of enjoyed this more.

And now, honored ladies and gentlemen, may we present...!.......2003-07-17

This is what you'd have to call a specialty CD. It consists entirely of fanfares--nothing but fanfares--some of them as short as 10 seconds long. An interesting idea for a CD, perhaps, but I would guess it is primarily for directors of costume dramas, period pieces, and ceremonies of various sorts.

There are 76 fanfares on the disc covering composers ranging from Monteverdi to a trio of modern composers, all of the latter associated with the CD itself. They are played by an outfit called 'The Art of the Trumpet,' a coalescence of 24 Austrian trumpeters and a couple of timpanists (and on occasion a single trombone). Some of the fanfares use the whole group, there are others for solo trumpet, and for all combinations in between. They are led by a trumpeter from Vienna named Leonhard Leeb who is not only one of the trumpeters but also one of the composers--the other two modern composers are Leon Bolten and Joel Modart (I almost typed 'Mozart' but no!...).

Other composers include Salieri, Lully, Biber, J.H. Schmelzer, Pezel (often spelled Petzel here in America), Philidor (yes, the chess master of that name), Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and the multi-talented A. Nony Mous.

The performances are appropriately stirring, ceremonial, attention-grabbing, even mournful (one, Bolten's 'Wrapped in Mystery,' was dedicated to the victims of the World Trade Center tragedy of September 11, 2001). I would strongly suggest you not listen to the whole CD at one sitting--actually, it's hard to imagine anyone would--because too much B flat can fry your brain unless you yourself are a brass player or bagpiper.

For what it is, though, this CD is excellent.

Customer Reviews:

Highly Enjoyable.......2005-12-19

Ths recording has its faults, but is still extremely enjoyable. I have have to agree with one of the previous reviewers about the conducting. It does sound quite detached and lacks all spontaneous quality, but the singers still manage very nicely. The recording sound also comes across as being far away, but it really doesn't make a difference because it isn't bad at all. The singers are all very good. Much as it pains me to say, you can tell that as far coloratura goes, this is just about Kenny's limit. She nevertheless has such an exquisite and full voice that she easily makes up for it, especially in the quartet. Highly reccomended.

A Recording that is original, authentic, and enjoyable.......2005-07-17

THE ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO (DIE ENTFUHRUNG AUS DEM SERAIL) was both a critical and popular success in Mozart's lifetime and while it is not revived as often as the three Da Ponte Operas (Marriage, Giovanni, and Cosi) or THE MAGIC FLUTE, it has never been completely out of the repertoire. Its overture is a popular work in symphonic concerts and a few of its arias find their way into the concert arena.

In some respects the opera was revolutionary as is the case in so many Mozart works. The music has what is called a "Turkish" flair which was quite popular in Mozart's day. The Arabic world was seen as mysterious and exotic and anything Arabic was all the rage. Mozart does his best to give the music of the opera what was believed to be an authentic Arabic sound and used a wide variety of instruments to achieve this effect. It was also one of the first masterful scores for the German opera form known as singspiel where the arias are separated by spoken dialogue rather than musical recitative. The music worked for the stage, was loved by the audience, and sets a higher standard for music of the stage.

Many times recordings from "period instruments" can sound strange to the modern ear because we are used to a fuller symphony orchestra than would have been the case in Mozart's day. Nikolaus Harnoncourt is able to use period instruments to make this recording sound as authentically Mozartarian (I'm not sure there is such a word but I'm using it anyway) and pleasing to the modern listener. The soloists do a great job, the spoken dialogue is not jarring as it can be in some recordings, and it is an overall appealing set.

There are a number of good solid recordings of this work available. Two of the standards are the set under the direction of Ferenc Fricsay and another set directed by Sir Geog Solti. Both are highly praised and can provide an enjoyable listening experience, but if you are a Mozart buff, or want to hear a fresh recording of a great yet often neglected work, the Harnoncourt set is just for you.

Singspiel as it should be done.......2000-07-10

Certainly Harnoncourt is a controversial director. But what do we have here? A rather outdated story which in its own time was already particularly implausible. The comic effect would not even qualify for the laughing track of our modern sitcoms. Yet the music is just too good to dismiss it. Harnoncourt found the redemption key. A rather crisp tempo over all, a choice of bright and raw sonorities allows us not to dwell too much on the unlikely story. A few excellent singers, well directed, allow us to appreciate the wonderful pyrotechnics of the Mozart arias. The result? We do not force our laughter anymore and we leave with a wonderful sense of optimism. The all is well that ends well shines thorough the performance. What is even better, we leave this performance finally realizing that technically this was the first of the great Mozart operas, that some of the arias have nothing to envy the subsequent works. Then again Mozart fans knew this secret all along. It is the merit of this performance to show this to the newcomer. And to the critic of Harnoncourt to consider that perhaps he does have a valid point, that Mozart never intended this opera to be a mellifluous work, but a dynamic romp.

Finally ! die Entfurung treated seriously !.......2000-01-11

And it is an eye opener ! For starters, Harnoncourt costum built the turkish instruments that the score calls for, and that creates such a diversity in sound, that it is as though the dust and old varnisch has been lifted of an old stuffy painting to reveal the Rembrand underneath. Very precise, and extremely exciting is the way Harnoncourt chooses his tempi, justified by years of thorough musical research and a rich understanding of performance practice of the 18th century. Excellent soloists, particularly Matti Salminen sticks out. Extreme contrats in the characters also creates an extremely HUMAN story, what Mozart is all about in the end. If you play this stuff as background music, do NOT buy this disc.

Sterile conducting; some interesting singing.......1999-11-27

To my ear, Harnencort's conducting sounds detatched, like he's not enjoying the music much, even though he tries to sound playful with fast tempi and lots of percussion in the overture. The tenors and the women sound overrehearsed, sacrificing fun for precision.

Matti Salminen's Osmin is very interesting, in that it is the most Wagnerian-sounding available Osmin on record. Matti Salminen puts Hagen-like murder into every syllable, even the coloratura sections. It's awesome, but the phrase "bull in a china shop" keeps coming to mind.

A hidden jewel. The music is great, almost calls for tears, the singer is great and they play with usual and unusual chords like they were toys... I happened to listen to this band in SomaFM.com and now I can't believe how good they are. They break with conventionality with an ease that can frigthen your veins.
