I can sense your own joy and wonderment just by your description of it. I am currently listening to Natalie Dessay's recital disc devoted to Mozart heroines and I agree with you that her coloratura trills are just a marvel to behold. It is cleanly executed and with a confidence that does not shirk away from a full-blast bombast if an aria demands it. I hope they will release this on CD too so that we can enjoy this sense of joy and physicality in the absence of images, in our living rooms. Thanks for the vivid description of the opera, Stephen.
