Gerald Fenech listens to early recordings by Danish conductor John Frandsen.

[…] of that.Production values are as high as the quality of the performance. The sound is first rate. The booklet is similarly good. It contains excellent notes and a detailed synopsis as well as the full libretto in Danish and English which I found easy to follow.Dacapo has done signal service to Maskarade, of which this is their third recording. They issued a complete recording on CD made, I think, in 2005 and conducted by John Frandsen. There’s also a DVD of a 2006 live performance, conducted by Michael Schønwandt.

[…] than the conductor and concertmaster. These superb young players, from the finest conservatories on the planet, display a skill and energy which is transforming. They will gain the experience that refines this into the polish of a Concertgebouw or Vienna Phil - but for now this is music making and passionate commitment of the highest order, led and inspired by experience in spades. There was a lovely quartet of Joyce el Khoury, Valerie Nelson, Adam Frandsen and Evan Hughes, and the chorus of fresh (though very hardworked) young voices dealt fearlessly with the stamina sapping music of the last movement. And last night we all zoomed off to George Mason University in Manassas where their Hylton Arts Center hosted this exceptional conceert performance of Bohème. Jennifer Black and Jonathan Burton were in cracking vocal form, with Rebecca Nathanson ripping up the stage (insofar as that is possible in a concert […]
