Mozart: An Italian Journey – Jeremy Ovenden (tenor), Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Jonathan Cohen

This is a fascinating musical journey through the Italian arias of Mozart, from one of his earliest works, Lucio Silla (composed when he was just sixteen), through to his final Italian opera, La clemenza di Tito.

The English tenor Jeremy Ovenden has established himself as one of the best Mozartean tenors of his generation (notably in the role of Don Ottavio) and has become a familiar figure on the stages of the world’s opera houses and concert halls and at major festivals. For this, his first, solo recording he is joined by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and conductor Jonathan Cohen. In a recent performance review The Opera Critic described Jeremy as ‘an intelligent… highly competent singer… his line, power, and coloratura were all excellent’.
