Mozart in London

Beskrivelse

Summary: The ensemble The Mozartists presents an unprecedented survey of Mozart's childhood stay in London from 1764-65. The wide-ranging programme includes Mozart's remarkable first symphony (composed when he was eight years old), along with his two other London symphonies and his first concert aria. The repertoire also explores music that was being performed in London during Mozart's stay, including works by J.C. Bach, Thomas Arne, Abel, Pescetti, Perez, George Rush and William Bates.

"Editor's choices - May 2018: This imaginative survey of the music which the young Mozart is likely to have encountered on his year-long visit to London is a real box of delights. Robert Murray and Rebecca Bottone are particularly engaging in the buffo excerpts from Arnold's The Maid of the Mill and Arne's The Guardian Outwitted, and Helen Sherman impresses in the perilous coloratura of 'Amid a thousand racking woes' from the latter's Artaxerxes".

"An ambitious and fascinating two-disc collection. Mozart in London, setting the composer's early visit to London in 1764-5 in the context of the music of the time by Arne, JC Bach and others. There's some striking music by the Neapolitan Davide Perez, and some cheerful songs by Egidio Duni and Samuel Arnold, all enterprisingly performed by the Mozartists under Ian Page; the collection is framed by Mozart's earliest symphonies, sparklingly played".

"Bold yet highly sensitive, Page and his musicians show what makes this musicians show what makes this music great. Page draws on a deep bench of vocal talent; of his eight soloists, Rebecca Bottone and Robert Murray stand out stand out especially for the ability, so prized in Mozart's London, of getting across a dramatic character in just one air. Page's band, The Mozartists, make the colours and expressiveness leap off the page".

"Recording of the month: There are excellent performances of some of the fledgling Mozart's London pieces interspersed among an abundance of rarely investigated repertory that was researched and edited especially for the occasion ... Page's knack for choosing interesting singers yields contributions from eight highly capable soloists ... Nevertheless, the star of the show is the superb orchestra, which never sounds in the least bit perfunctory or formulaic".
