Knecht's colourful score is performed with tremendous vitality by the period-instrument Hofkapelle Stuttgart, which boasts a vivacious woodwind section whose special duty throughout the opera is to emulate the mythical Aeolian harp… The cast of singers is uniformly good. Mark Adler sings emphatically and copes admirably with the ardent aria "Was der Liebe", which would be a severe test for any great Mozartian tenor. Christina Landshamer sings Melilla with ideal fluency and heroic resolve.
