An Italian Journey

"A most imaginative idea: 13 tenor arias from Mozart's Italian operas, arranged chronologically...Maybe Ovenden's attractive, bright tenor is a little light for Idomeneo's magnificent Fuor del mar, but his rhythm, diction and easy flexibility of voice are exemplary."
(The Sunday Times)

"The fine tenor Jeremy Ovenden, who has sung most of the major Mozart roles all over Europe and is resident in la bella Italia, sings with an engaging commitment to these joyous creations...accompanied with customary style by Jonathan Cohen and the glorious Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. A delightful selection."
(The Observer)

The English tenor Jeremy Ovenden has established himself as being among the best Mozart tenors of his generation (notably in the role of Don Ottavio) and has become a familiar figure on the stages of the world's opera houses and concert halls and at major festivals. He is joined for this, his first solo recording, by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and conductor Jonathan Cohen in a fascinating musical journey through the Italian arias of Mozart, from Lucio Silla (composed when he was just 16) through to his final Italian opera La Clemenza di Tito.
