Search - Mozart, Apollo's Fire, Forsythe :: Symphony No 40

MOZART: Symphony No. 40 * Aria and Recitative from Lucio Silla * Ballet Music from Idomeneo * Contradances "The exhilaration and sense of discovery is utterly infectious."
-- International Record Review "These are performances of enormous drama, delicacy, and zest played with keen attention to expressive and textural nuances." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer This all-Mozart recording leads with the composer's darkest Symphony, No. 40 in G minor. American soprano Amanda Forsythe joins the group in a dramatic recitative and virtuoso aria from Lucio Silla, and the disc includes the Ballet Music from Idomeneo, a festive and rarely-heard suite from the last great work in the opera seria tradition. Rounding out the set are four lively and entertaining Contradances. Upcoming live performances in October/November 2010 in New York, Santa Fe, St. Louis, Columbus, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, and more.
