His is, as a result, a remarkable performance. and Van Allan are effective theatrical personalities. It is, however, Davis who dominates the proceedings and emerges as the star of the score, molding it in a Empathizing with Mozart I fL'' mm. fi inn i the height of his compositional powers, wrote some of the most iridiscent music of his career.

It was the great Mozart scholar Alfred Einstein who once wrote that each generation sees something different in Mozart's works. Mr. Davis, in this performance, appears to have searched for and discovered a balance between the farce and the philosophical. As the two sisters who cannot resist the allures of would-be suitors, Montserrat Caballe and Janet Baker aristt cratic flirts. Caballe's vocalization is marked by beauties of coloration and lovely nuances of dynamics.

Their collaboration produces one of the most scintillating versions of the opera in the recorded literature-filled with constant merriment and fascinating nuances of sound and phrase. "Cosi Fan seems at first like unadulterated comedya sly commentary on the weaknesses of women and the idealistic gullibility of lovers. But it is more. It is, at the same time, an opera beguilingly filled with philosophical subtleties. It shows the public that even the most naive courtship contains elements of introspection and In Mozart's score, and the hilarious libretto by Da Ponte, frivolity and parody co-exist with intensely felt emotion, and the sadness implied by the transitory nature of life and love.
