Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Real de Madrid, Ivor Bolton, Claus Guth

"It’s a fascinating and demanding production, for the viewer as well as, clearly, the performers. In the title-role, Kurt Streit, a distinguished Mozartian who’s turned in recent years to heavier roles, is compelling, the voice’s sweetness now mixed with an extra stern virility…Anyone interested in the drama of this early Mozart opera seria should seek out Guth’s fascinating staging." - Gramophone Magazine August 2018
