Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Mozart: Concert Arias (CD) Album

Mozart: Concert AriasWolfgang Amadeus MozartAlbumGenre: ClassicalDescription: Fresh from his triumphant onstage success in Paris Berlin and Brussels singing leading roles in the operas of Rameau and Mozart tenor Reinoud Van Mechelen presents his long-awaited first Mozart recording. Together with his ensemble A Nocte Temporis he has devised a highly imaginative programme. From the eleven single opera and concert arias for tenor and orchestra that are ascribed to Mozart the Belgian tenor has selected those that are entirely in the composer’s hand – leaving out the ones completed or reconstructed by others and adding an exquisite aria from Mitridate re di Ponto. Mozart was only nine years old when in 1765 during his stay in London he launched into his first opera aria for tenor and orchestra to verses from a libretto by Metastasio. At the end of 1766 on his return to Salzburg the child prodigy composed Or che il dover – Tali e cotanti sono KV 36 for a festive celebration making the court aware of his enormous talent. Throughout his career alongside his own operas Mozart also wrote arias intended for insertion into the operas of other composers hidden masterpieces that now receive revelatory performances.

This product would be a great fit for classical music lovers who are looking to add to their collection of Mozart's recordings.
