狂飆與突進運動,第四集 克勞斯/海頓/莫札特/班達: 交響曲,歌劇場景
伊恩.佩吉 指揮
莫札特藝術家樂團
The fourth instalment in the Mozartists projected seven-volume series conducted by Ian Page pairs two turbulent minor-key symphonies by Kraus and Haydn with operatic scenes featuring soprano Alexandra Lowe. Kraus’s rarely heard Symphony in C minor, which Haydn predicted would be regarded as a masterpiece for centuries, sits alongside Haydn’s own celebrated Farewell Symphony. Lowe brings both fire and pathos to arias from Traetta’s Antigona and Mozart’s La finta giardiniera, and to the climactic scene from Benda’s melodrama Medea, a work Mozart so admired that he briefly hailed it as the future of opera.
“Alexandra Lowe’s finely-nuanced performance is electrifyingly powerful” – Early Music Review
“Once again, the strengths of this series are shown to be as much in the consistently intelligent and intriguing programming as in the unflagging fervency of the music making” – Gramophone
★★★★★“More seismic Sturm und Drang from Ian Page and his crack London Mozart outfit.” – Limelight
