Mozart

For a singer who is such a stylish and natural Rossini interpreter, there’s a certain logic and expectation that he’d approach Mozart with comparable flair. And you won’t be disappointed. Even though he’s yet to sing any Mozart on stage, Mozart’s music has accompanied the tenor throughout his life, and here—with Zürich’s Orchestra La Scintilla and Riccardo Minasi as his elegant companions—is a fine collection of nine opera arias and one concert aria. His sweet, suave, sometimes cool, sometimes ardent tenor voice is ideal for roles like Tamino, Ferrando, Tito, and Idomeneo.
