Hillevi Martinpelto, Marina Comparato, Joans Kaufmann, Steve Davislim, William Dazeley; John Eliot Gardiner

Philips have assembled international forces conducted by period instrument and historically informed performance specialist Sir John Eliot Gardiner. The Swedish soprano Hillevi Martinpelto, German tenor Jonas Kaufmann and Australian tenor Steve Davislim were all engaged to lead a distinguished cast in this enigmatic mythical drama. The studio recording was made at the Watford Colosseum following critically acclaimed concert performances and is said to be the first to be recorded in an English language version.

The inclusion of a narrator is a successful move; the role is taken by English actor Roger Allam, acclaimed for his many appearances with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Tenor, Steve Davislim, as the fairy King Oberon in the opening Aria, scene no.2, "Fatal vow!" is a disappointment and seems rather nervous with noticeable wobble in his voice. The part of the Oberon is rather curious as the character is hardly employed in the score. As the noble Knight, Sir Huon of Bordeaux, the tenor Jonas Kaufmann is a first-rate casting. In one of my favourite moments Kaufmann is in fine voice in his romantic Aria, scene no. 5, "From boyhood trained with strong", direct and expressive singing and an appealing timbre to his voice. Another highlight is Reiza’s wonderful set piece Aria, scene no. 13, "Ocean! thou Mighty Monster". Soprano Hillevi Martinpelto, as Reiza soars beautifully to the heavens and the rich and smoky timbre of her voice is most attractive. In Fatima’s popular Aria, scene no. 15, "O Araby, dear Araby, my own native land!" the mezzo-soprano Marina Comparato displays her smooth and velvety voice with considerable clarity. The orchestral contribution really sparkles and the playing and singing is beautifully tailored to the score drawing out an endless kaleidoscope of subtle colours.

The sound from the Philips engineers is top quality. The company is also to be congratulated for a superb presentation providing full texts, a synopsis and superb essays.

Under the baton of Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Oberon is a delightful experience and deserves to heard by a wider audience.
