Review By Opera News,



Review By Penguin Guide Key Recording,January 2009

The Naxos Fidelio from Budapest offers a first-rate modern cast incisively directed by Michael Halász, and very well recorded. Inga Nielsen is an outstanding Leonore, with every note sharply focused, using the widest tonal and dynamic range from bright fortissimo to velvety half-tone. Few singers on disc in recent years being to rival her account of the Abscheulicher, ranging from venomous anger to radiant tenderness. Gösta Winbergh makes a formidable Florestan, with Alan Titus a firm, sinister Pizarro and Kurt Moll a splendid Rocco…Even making no allowance for price, this version is among the very finest to have arrived in years, gaining clarity and incisiveness from the relatively small scale.
