Let's set aside the monster cast in this recording. All of them deliver a great theatrical performance. Powerful and charming singing. Ms. Bonney is one of my favorite sopranos, and the legend Gruberová is as great as she's always been. But the issue in this recording is Maestro Harnoncourt and the Royal Concertgebouw. Altogether, they offer us a new, fresh, elegant and spectacular recording with a sound (allow me to remark: a sound, what a sound!) seldom heard in some other recordings. Harnoncourt's reading is so meticulous that changes and challenges all Die Fledermaus recordings I have listened to. Even tho' the Kleiber DG DVD recording is one the greatest ever, I do not mind having both recordings. Bravo Maestro!
