The Mozartists
Announced at the beginning of 2017, the Mozartists are an offshoot of Classical Opera, an ensemble formed by conductor Ian Page to explore the operatic world of Mozart and his contemporaries. The Mozartists have the intention of adding instrumental music to the company's capabilities, and it has been closely associated with Page's ongoing Mozart 250 project.
Page began his career in the choir at Westminster Abbey and studied English literature at the University of York before switching to the Royal Academy of Music. He apprenticed at opera companies in Britain and Sweden before founding Classical Opera, where he has conducted most of Mozart's operas, including the original version of Mitridate, re di Ponto, K. 87, and a new completion of Zaide, K. 344, in world premieres. In 2017, the Mozartists ensemble was created as Page and Classical Opera expanded the company's reach into concert works as part of the ongoing Mozart 250 concert series aimed at recording a wide swath of music by Mozart and other composers in his orbit. The project began in 2015 and follows Mozart's life and highlights his works and influences chronologically starting with his 1765 London visit. It is scheduled to conclude in 2041, marking the 250th anniversary of the composer's death.
The Mozartists' 2017 performances under that rubric included an overview of the year 1767, when Mozart began to write opera for the first time at age 11, and featured works by J.C. Bach, Thomas Arne, and Florian Gassmann, among others. Performances that year also included the early Mozart operas Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots, K. 35, and Apollo et Hyacinthus, K. 38. The Mozartists got their recording career off to a fast start, signing with the Signum label that year and releasing Perfido!, a collection of operatic rarities by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven with soprano Sophie Bevan. In 2018, the group issued Mozart in London, a double album exploring not only the music written by Mozart as a child (during his 15-month sojourn in London) but the music that he would have heard there. The latter group of pieces encompassed a number of world premieres, a category frequently represented in Classical Opera's and the Mozartists' performances and recordings. In 2020, the Mozartists were heard on two albums dedicated to the Sturm und Drang movement of the 1760s and 1770s. The following year, the group issued recordings of Arne's Artaxerxes and Niccolò Jommelli's Il Vologeso.
