A programme of concert arias by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven
Leading British soprano Sophie Bevan performs a sumptuous programme of concert arias by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. Bevan is accompanied on this new recording by The Mozartists, recently launched by Ian Page's internationally renowned period ensemble Classical Opera as an expansion of its continuing exploration of Mozart and his contemporaries.
"Bevan has made her reputation with her pure lyric soprano, but it's interesting to hear a bit of attractive smoke to the tone these days. Her voice is perhaps on the light side for these arias, but her partnership with Ian Page, who conducts, pays dividends as they sail confidently through the heavier perils of these dramatic pieces…an interesting disc of lesser-performed arias dispatched with freshness and style" Opera Now
"They take Bevan into more dramatic territory than she has explored hitherto. Ah! Perfido is powerfully propelled… there's no doubting Bevan's prowess" The Times
"Sophie Bevan is highly successful… singing throughout with a gleaming tone and shaping lines with real sensitivity, but equally under the skin of the character she is portraying." Early Music Today
