Ken,

It's good - maybe her best since 'Rossini Heroines'. Her amazing agility, all those little notes while she remains understandable, suits this music to a tee. Most of the music on this disc is totally obscure, but Antonini and his orchestra are fully committed and sound like they could make Für Elise into a party number.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this album after her attempts to sing Bellini as if she was singing Rossini. ('Maria' remains a fun album, though).
