莫札特：女中豪傑 Mozart: 'Desperate Heroines' Opera Arias

"In the line of a rich discography that includes brilliant and praised Mozart, Handel, Vivaldi and French baroque operatic recitals, French soprano Sandrine Piau gathered and recorded a series of tragic arias from her favorite heroines in Mozart's operas Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, La finta giardiniera, Mitridate, Idomeneo, Lucio Silla and Il rè pastore. The recording features the orchestra of Mozart's city, Mozarteumorchester Salzburg, and its renowned music director Ivor Bolton. ""The arias I’ve chosen are often tormented. I don’t deny this sorrowful tone, which I often favour in my recitals [...] I suppose this is a disc of maturity, which both reflects my trajectory over these past few years and catches me at a specific moment in my life, like a snapshot."" ""a recital disc is a sort of personal diary that lays bare your choices and your interpretations. a gallery of characters like this one gives a singer a range of emotions that she doesn’t get to tackle in a complete opera."" ""I feel so close to all these women because they ring true. Beyond the intrinsic vocal beauty, the personalities are wonderful. together they form a sort of kaleidoscope of women, and you’re bound to find something of yourself in this multitude."" -- Sandrine Piau"
