About This Item
Mozart+ is an exceptional selection of some of the most beautiful concert and opera arias by W.A. Mozart as well as discoveries of largely unknown arias from operas by Tommaso Traetta, Giovanni Paisiello and Vicente Martín y Soler, reflecting the exchange of musical ideas between Mozart and his contemporaries and getting these three composers out of Mozart's shadow. Olga Peretyatko chose arias from the well-known operas InchDie Entführung aus dem SerailInch, InchLe nozze di FigaroInch, InchDon GiovanniInch and InchClemenza di TitoInch by Mozart and combined these with arias from rather forgotten operas such as InchAntigonaInch by Traetta, InchIl barbiere di SivigliaInch by Paisiello as well as InchIl burbero di buon cuoreInch by Soler. The connection between Mozart and Soler becomes obvious, as the recording also includes two insertion arias (K582 and K583) by Mozart, which he had written for the revival of InchIl burbero di buon cuoreInch. Mozart+ is Peretyatko's second collaboration with the Sinfonieorchester Basel and Ivor Bolton as the conductor, after the highly acclaimed recording InchThe Secret FauréInch (2018).
