The second of DG’s series of seven Mozart operas conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and initiated by Rolando Villazón. This Così fan tutte enchanted the Baden-Baden Festspielhaus audience when recorded in concert in 2012, with Nézet-Séguin inspiring his stellar cast to feats of vocal derring-do.

Starring a thrilling cast of both young and experienced Mozart opera stars including accomplished soprano Mojca Erdmann as Despina, acclaimed Mozartian soprano Miah Persson and prize-winning young American mezzo Angela Brower as the emotionally manipulated sisters Fiordiligi and Dorabella. Also joining this crème-de-la-crème cast are distinguished Mozart bass-baritone Adam Plachetka as Guglielmo and Italian buffo baritone Alessandro Corbelli as Alfonso.

Youthful exuberance tempered by depth of insight make this a rare Così, a must for even the most seasoned opera lover.

“… Miah Persson, an immaculate Mozartian (she’s Fiordiligi), the coppery-toned Mojca Erdmann (Despina), and the American mezzo-soprano Angela Brower, a volatile Dorabella … it’s the orchestral felicities that hit home first … The continuo parts in the recitatives are nimble and witty. An upward harpsichord tingle conjures a distand ship; an arpeggio smear suggests Dorabella flinging away her breakfast. Magic moments … the orchestra’s stunning.” (Geoff Brown, The Times)

“Perfect listening for a late summer, Mozart’s comedy … fairly fizzes with life in this concert performance … Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s conducting is buoyant and forward-moving … [Adam Plachetka is an] excellent Guglielmo and Rolando Villazón [a] vibrant, Verdian Ferrando. But the miracles of this opera are the ensembles, and these work brilliantly, underpinned by the crisp playing of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, culminating in a second-act finale whose pathos, force and passion are truly sensational.” (Nicholas Kenyon, The Observer)
