Titus EngelAbout
With its lively dances, superbly acted and witty libretto, and Carl Nielsen’s highly individual sense of harmony and lyrical expressiveness, this is a comic opera that ‘has it all’, having that rare quality in this genre of being genuinely funny. Maskarade has always had an exciting aura of freshness and discovery about it, and that frisson between neo-Classical modernity and 18th-century Enlightenment sensibility adds further dimensions to its wildly entertaining fascination.
‘Titus Engel highlighted Nielsen’s magnificent orchestration with a sufficiently agile and transparent work, which shone even more than in the overture, in the other orchestral passages, such as the beautiful prelude to the second act – splendid woodwinds – with a lyricism that contrasted appropriately with the fast-paced finale of the first act…’ – codalario.com
