"Muti conducts with drive, but with sensitivity to the score's seriousness, as well as to its comedy.
No seat in La Scala would allow an audience member to know the characters this well, and yet the stage-picture as a whole is not forgotten" (Classical Net)
"Daniela Dessì is a superb Fiordiligi, tackling ‘Come scoglio’ with aplomb, and superb in ‘Per pietà’, where she maintains the linear continuity over rests well. More, she proves on more than one occasion that she can ‘turn’ a phrase in a millisecond Josef Kindlak’s ‘Un aura amoroso’ (Ferrando) is more than acceptable without being overly memorable (and is partially ruined by Muti’s syrupy strings). Alessandro Corbelli’s Guglielmo can be decidedly cheeky. Delores Ziegler is a lovely Dorabella, simply superb in ‘E amore un ladroncello’.
Importantly, though, all voices seem to blend well in ensemble and in exchanges." (Musicweb International)
