This 12CD set brings together Mozart's greatest mature operas: Cosí Fan Tutte, Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Die Zauberflöte.
The performances are conducted by Sigiswald Kuijken, pioneer and veteran of the Historically Informed Performance Practice and a passionate and committed musician. The orchestra is La Petite Bande and the soloists include such celebrities as Monica Groop, Huub Claessens, Nancy Argenta, Christina Högman, Soile Isokoski, Harry van de Kamp, Per Vollestad, Stephan Genz, Suzie LeBlanc and many more.
"Performance-wise, textures are transparent and tempos kept on the move; while some rival versions claim a more vivid sense of theatre, this is an excellent way to obtain four of Mozart's greatest works, well performed, cleanly recorded and at a very modest price point." Gramophone
