Praise for ‘Mozart, You Drive Me Crazy!’

Welcome to ‘Dodd’s DSD Discoveries’, a review series from NativeDSD Senior Music Reviewer Bill Dodd. This series focuses on Bill’s latest selections, with new reviews regularly.

Golda Schultz, supported by seven other fine soloists, takes us on a delightful excursion through the three Mozart/da Ponte operas, Don Giovanni, Le nozze di Figaro, and Così fan tutte. The album is dedicated to the five strong female characters in these three operas, and she brings strength to each, navigating the sometimes difficult arias perfectly. Conductor Antonello Manacorda and the Kammerakademie Potsdam provide excellent backing. A recital? Yes, but so much more. A little bit of “highlights,” but these are also portraits of fascinating women. Highly recommended!
