I picked up this dvd several months ago and it quickly became my favourite dvd of my favourite opera. There is so much that has to be considered for the wonderful balance that Mozart created here. From the all important ensembles down to the solo numbers everthing here works beautifully, sung by and appropriately youthfull cast and staged by Glyndebourne with a refreshing faithfullness to Mozart and DaPonte.

In my humble opinion this is the "Cosi" to buy and own. Singing and acting by all the principals are simply engaging and enjoyable. Nice little discussion of the opera by the conductor,director and members of the cast included in the special features.Dan Rincon

This is altogether a most satisfactory production. The music is very well played and sung, and the acting, together with very clear and understandable subtitles, makes the action easy to follow for a non-speaker of Italian.

In order to enjoy it, one has to forget about the story: it is stupid and male chauvanist. But the music is divine, the singers -every one of them- excellent and, less usual, also very good actors: passed are the days where you had to close your eyes in order to imagine that the beautiful voice singing the beautiful airia belonged to a human being and not to a robot! Very enjoyable.

This Glyndebourne production is the best I have seen. The singers and the staging and of course the direction are as good as one could wish. The orchestra has a few weaknesses, especially at the beginning, butis still quite good.

I bought this camcorder in 2000. The price was great at $500. It was a sale to get rid of the 900s before the newer series came out. The camera is basic. The eyepiece doesn't swivel. Which doesn't matter. I usually use the lcd, which drains the battery faster. The screen is 2.5" small but in color. All in all it is a good camcorder. Like the other reviewer, be careful. This camcorder is discontinued so the price has been jacked up.
