It's nice to recall Beethoven's opinion about the Cosi: immoral, an opera on a libretto he not even would consider to set to music.
OK, wife-swapping isn't to everybody's taste, but do I recall correctly that in Fidelio some cross-dressing is going on

Beethoven's "Christus Am Oelberge", Richard Lewis, tenor,Philadelphia Orch., Ormandy.
I am sure I must have mentioned this before, but I can never listen to this recording without being reminded of my "meeting" with the late Richard Lewis. We had a yearly Bach festival in Killarney back in the seventies and he approached me in our cathedral just before a performance of the B minor mass and asked me, very brusquely, "When do I get paid?".(I was the secretary of the KBF as it was known). I was rather taken aback and I mumbled something about getting the treasurer for him. Which I did.
Bizarre.

Period instrument?
I was waiting for someone to comment on that .
I think it is quite impressive played on the accordian, I like the warm, deep tone, and it looks incredibly complicated to play.
To be perfectly honest, I don't really like too much of the cold , steely sound of the harpsichord.
