Dreisig,Elsa Mozart X 3 (Opera Arias) CD

Elsa Dreisig credits Mozart with being the composer who first inspired her to become a professional singer. Now the French-Danish soprano pays him tribute with an album devoted entirely to arias from his operas. It's title, Mozart x3, reflects a programme constructed around the three masterpieces composed to libretti written by Lorenzo Da Ponte: Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cos? fan tutte. Elsa Dreisig sings arias allocated to three different characters in each of these operas. The total of nine 'Da Ponte arias' is complemented by three arias from examples of the dignified genre opera seria: La clemenza di Tito, Idomeneo and Lucio Silla. Accompanying Elsa Dreisig is the Kammerorchester Basel, conducted by Louis Langr?e, now director of Paris's celebrated Op?ra-Comique.
