Che puro ciel : the rise of classical opera

"An engagingly diverse trio of works that offers a comprehensive guide to the composer's orchestral development in sound of notable clarity and range".

"A vocally challenging and often musically fascinating programme ... Mehta is at his best here as the conflicted, tormented matricide. He is also spectacular in the virtuoso arias ... There is much to enjoy here and it is clear that a genuine musical spark ignites the rapport between conductor and singer".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Always acutely alive to text and dramatic situation ... Mehta's dramatic involvement elevates some rather routine invention in the items by the teenage Mozart ... The most enjoyable, intelligently planned countertenor recital to have come my way in years".
