Il Boemo ("The Bohemian") was composer Josef Mysliveček, who was close to the Mozart family. This Czech film appears to be based partly on unsubstantiated gossip included in the Mozart family correspondence, but Mysliveček had a pretty interesting life, even leaving hypothetical romantic intrigue aside; he worked for some years as a miller before turning to composition and, like Mozart in his later years, he was a pure freelancer. His nose was destroyed in a botched surgical effort to alleviate his syphilis symptoms. The film is a project of director Petr Vaclav and Collegium 1704 conductor Václav Luks, and it is partly aimed at raising the profile of Mysliveček, which remains low, at least outside Czech-lands. Mysliveček wrote 26 operas, 55 symphonies, and numerous other works, and Mozart admired him. Mysliveček's symphonies have been recorded from time to time, but his all-important operatic output, all of it in Italian and in the opera seria form, has not, and therein lies the substantial general interest of this recording. Among the operas is an "Adamo ed Eva." Many of the arias here sound a good deal like Mozart, with the uncanny simplicity Mozart so often had, rather than the big, ornate sound of the usual opera seria. Then, one realizes that he was doing this before Mozart learned to sound like himself (Mysliveček died in 1781). Sample the aria "Il caro mio bene" from the 1780 opera Armida (which failed and sank Mysliveček's previously soaring fortunes). Luks assembles a fine group of mostly Eastern European singers, of whom Simona Šaturová in this aria is a representative example; the veteran countertenor Philippe Jaroussky also makes multiple appearances. Under Luks, Collegium 1704 manages an idiomatically sweet Classical-era sound, something that still eludes many groups specializing in the Baroque. Essential for Mozart enthusiasts, this release is enjoyable listening for anyone and may well contribute to the filmmakers' goals; one hopes that the film achieves wide distribution so that album listeners can hear the arias in place.
