There are so many Arabellas from Vienna. This is definitely not one of my favorite versions. Mainly because of the Arabella of Magee who has neither the right voice or character for Arabella. Have a look at Schwanewilms to see the difference. Konieczny is much better as Mandryka. Also Chen Reiss as Zdenka does not make things better. Her voice becomes harsh too often. But the supporting roles are quite good.
