Album insights

Rolando Villazón and Yannick Nézet-Séguin's initiated Mozart Opera Project advances with a concert performance and recording of "Die Entführung aus dem Serail," marking the project's third phase. Their deep dive into Mozart began in Salzburg with "Il re pastore" and "Lucio Silla," and continued in Baden-Baden with "Don Giovanni" and "Così fan tutte," along with a Mozart concert aria CD. Noteworthy components include the lively conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the historically informed sound of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Rastatter Vocal Ensemble's robust harmonious vocal quality. Villazón's charming presence shines through in spoken dialogues with a deliberate Spanish touch. Online Music Magazine, 09/2014 praises Diana Damrau's stellar portrayal of Konstanze, achieving sublime vocal moments. Anna Prohaska, playing an outstanding Blonde, brings wit, expressive power, and joy to her role, infusing even the most fiery character with intimacy and contemplation, as noted by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 07/ 2014.
