Papagena - Rondo Veneziano

Advantages: Location, pricing, attention to detail
Disadvantages: A long journey

...-calibre musicians like Rondo Veneziano and local opera stars), fashion shows, children?s discos? and all at no extra cost. Security is a big feature of Union Lido: to get in through the gate you have to show the pass issued to you on arrival. Equally important are peace and quiet so radios and CD players are not allowed to be played out loud ? if you want music (and I do) you have to use a walkman. From one o?clock in the afternoon until four is siesta time and quiet reigns ? cars are not allowed on or off site during that time and noise is confined to children?s play areas and the swimming pool complex. The beach, of course is exempt from this rule. After eleven at night quiet is expected, although people are allowed to sit at their outdoor tables and talk softly. Security staff patrol the site by night to ensure both quiet and order. If... Read review

Advantages: Quality sound at a budget price
Disadvantages: Must be placed away from rear wall

...As part of a compact system for a 3m x 3m lstening room, I auditioned several packages and selected Mission M31i's to partner my Denon DF101 system. I have been delighted with the choice.

Mine are fine at approximately 40 cm from the wall. Highly recommended... Read review

The orchestra's programme includes extracts from Mozart's symphonies, a variety of his instrumental concertos as well as arias and duets from his most famous operas. The highlights of our visit was the duet between Papagena and Papageno, performed by the soprano Ute Ziemer and Baritone Sebastian Holecek, and the clarinet concerto with soloist Pierre Pichler. The special attraction of this orchestra is that perform in historical costumes making the concert also a visual delight. The Vienna Mozart Concerts end with a tribute to Johann Strauss Senior and Junior by the performance of their most popular pieces, "The Blue Danube Waltz" and "The Radetzky March... Read review
