Info for Mozart: Concert Arias for Tenor and Orchestra

The new solo album from Rolando Villazón brings his lustrous Latin timbre to the concert arias of Mozart. Mozarts Il re pastore was the very first opera Rolando performed while still a student at the conservatory and he has felt a special connection to the composer ever since; through his diverse musical explorations, especially of Baroque music and Monteverdi, and by reading Mozarts letters, Rolando has acquired the experience and artistic maturity he was looking for in his own Mozart interpretation.

The emotional range and vocal demands of Mozarts condensed music-dramas are perfectly suited to Rolandos musical and dramatic gifts and a sincere expression of his love for perhaps the greatest of all composers for the voice.

For this major new recording of Mozarts rarely recorded concert arias, Rolando is joined by Britains Finest Orchestra [The Arts Desk], the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the Music Director of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Sir Antonio Pappano.
