Synopsis

Product Description
One way to measure Mozart's greatness is to listen to his overtures as entities apart from the operas they precede. Andrea Marcon and his terrific ensemble, La Cetra, approach Mozart à la Baroque - vigorously, colorfully, and with acute awareness of the sound world the composer was born into but changed forever . These overtures are gems of melodic inspiration, ingenious orchestration, and sheer zest that stand on their own. However, as the creative kernels of the works that follow them, they will make listeners want to revisit the operas they know and to acquire the rarer operas they have yet to discover. Andrea Marcon has appeared as conductor on a number of other DG recordings, most notably in collaboration with soprano Patricia Petibon, Giuliano Carmignola and others.
