Competition between composers was fierce and ruthless in the princely courts of 18th century Europe, and Mozart was just one of many. This new album from Russian soprano Olga Peretyatko serves as the perfect reminder of this, dedicated to Mozart’s famous arias (The Abduction from the Seraglio, The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni and The Clemency of Titus) but also including works by Traetta, Martín y Soler and Paisiello, which are equally as masterful.
The three excerpts from Tommaso Traetta’s Antigone which derived from Neapolitan opera and was composed for the court of Catherine II of Russia, are a testament to the passion that motivated composers from this period. His melodic phrases are full of tenderness and affliction and they certainly did not go unnoticed by the young Mozart. Paisiello and Martín y Soler were also both very successful in their time and completely eclipsed Mozart’s opera The Marriage of Figaro, which only really gained popularity in Prague and was the reason why he was asked by the Czech capital to compose Don Giovanni.
Even if Mozart’s contemporaries were tough on him, his unique genius has been recognised overtime and his extraordinary legacy has overshadowed all those of other great composers from his time. This album provides an enthralling replica of his music, featuring top-class performer Olga Peretyatko alongside the Basel Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ivor Bolton. © François Hudry/Qobuz
