Continuing the company's critically acclaimed complete cycle of Mozart operas on Signum Classics is the release of Zaide. One of very few of Mozart's works to be written without a commission, Mozart completed fifteen numbers before abandoning the work to fulfil the commission for Idomeneo. These include two searing melodramas, some superb ensembles and a sequence of arias including the celebrated "Ruhe sanft".

"Page's performance offers firmness and mastery of tempo … As Gomatz, Allan Clayton brings energy and definition to his singing … Excellent sound." BBC Music
"Classical Opera's well-rounded interpretation offers a strong advocacy for the treasures within Mozart's forsaken opera." Gramophone
"Page is the hero here. Drawing outstanding playing, he makes every note and inflexion count, his acute perception apparent throughout a performance that crackles with an intensity never achieved at the expense of obscuring orchestral detail or lyrical warmth." Opera
