Based on the coincidence that Mozart’s first opera (Apollo et Hyacinthus) begins with ‘A’ and his last (Die Zauberflöte) with ‘Z’, this disc takes the listener on a chronological journey through Mozart’s operatic canon, featuring an aria or ensemble from fifteen of his operas. “My personal pick for giving this year is the Classical Opera Company’s glorious !e A-Z of Mozart Opera, which is fresh, diverse, insightful and illuminating (everything that such recital anthologies usually fail to be). ... “… uniformly superb interpretations… an auspicious début recording of intelligence, finesse and quality.” Gramophone  Price: $25.98 |
