  • 5th of 7 Yannick Nezet-Seguin, Rolando Villazon - Mozart operas for DG, now out / ClassicsToday
    Posted At: August 20, 2018 12:00 AM

    This is the fifth in Yannick Nézet-Séguin's and Rolando Villazon's undertakings of seven Mozart operas to be laid down for DG. The Don G was terrific, the Cosi and Abduction filled with fine moments, and the Nozze mediocre. Nézet-Séguin's approach has been consistent–a wise mixture of traditional Mozart playing that would not be out of place on a Colin Davis or Karl B&ou...

    Posted At: November 22, 2015 12:00 AM

    Italian music in the 19th century is most often summed up in a single word: opera. Yet, for all its importance, opera was only the magnificent tip of the iceberg of Italian musical life. Instrumental, orchestral and, in particular, sacred music all abounded in Ottocento Italy.  The fours composers featured in this all-new recital are all known mostly for their operatic output, yet each was also an a...

  • Rolando Villazon plays Cadogan Hall: London / The Guardian review
    Posted At: May 7, 2014 12:00 AM

    Sometimes one heads to a concert alert with uncertainty about the event. For example, here was one of the big-name lyric tenor charmers popping up in the relative intimacy of Cadogan Hall, in a programme of Mozart, not the Italian warhorses. And he was singing not even mainstream operatic Mozart, but concert arias that mostly remain on the margins of the repertoire. Yet if Rolando Villazó...
