Description:

Here comes the first and long-awaited Mozart album from Christian Gerhaherl, now one of the world's best in the field of German lieder. Gerhaherl, who can read deep into the poems and embody them as songs that seem to have a soul in the German language, has also appeared in opera, carefully choosing her roles, and in 2014 she took on the title role in "Don Giovanni" for the first time in Frankfurt, saying, "What made this performance so special was the fact that it was the first time that I had the chance to perform it. What made this production so special was Gerhaherl's outstanding performance as Don Giovanni, a well-known Lieder singer," he said to rave reviews.In addition to "Don Giovanni" (the title role and Leporello), the album includes Papageno from "The Magic Flute," a role he has sung at the Salzburg Festival during the Mozart Year 2006, "Cosi fan tutte" (Guglielmo and Don Alfonso), "The Marriage of Figaro" (the Count and Figaro), and the famous aria from "The Marriage of Figaro" (the Count and Figaro). Count, Figaro), and he has worked on famous arias from four of Mozart's most popular operas. Gerhaherr sings vividly the rich human images that Mozart painted in his operas, with a fine expressive power that enables her to distinguish the characters' personalities and the scenes in which they sing, with a clean and rich voice, and with a deep reading of the music. Another special feature of this album is that it is performed with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, which is one of the most vigorous orchestras in the world today.They have recorded a series of excellent albums with Harmonia Mundi France, including Mozart with Steyer and Bezuidenhout, but this is their first appearance on Sony Classical. The four movements of Symphony No. 36 "Linz" are interspersed between the operatic arias, reminding us of the concerts of Mozart's time, which is also a heartwarming effect. Sony Music
