Reviews

“… The vocal selections are wonderful. Young Swedish mezzo-soprano Ida Ränslöv has a lovely voice, warm and/or brilliant as required. She sings the serious Gluck arias, the tragic Haydn, and Josef Mysliveck’s feisty women’s lib outburst with equal panache and suitably subtle ornamentation…”

James H North – Fanfare – July/August 2021

"... All of this music is splendidly done. Ida Ränslöv, a young Swedish mezzo sounds great in her selections, which stretch her range on both ends. The playing of The Mozartists is likewise first rate; their articulation of fast passage work, e.g. in the finale of Haydn's 29th is impressive indeed... Great for anyone interested in little-known music from the 1760s.

Paul L Althouse – American Record Guide – March/April 2021

Performance **** Recording ****

“…The Mozartists, are exploring the 1760’s and 70’s during which composers abruptly took to modes of emotional turmoil and driving tension … The fierce agitation of the outer movements of Haydn’s Symphony No. 39 certainly exemplify such qualities, just as the dynamic sweep and hair-trigger precision of Ian Page’s players demonstrate their skill and commitment in articulating them… Of the vocal items, delivered with volatile feeling by the Swedish mezzo Ida Ränzlov; the Gluck arias are troubled and plaintive; more impetuous is a scena by the short-loved Josef Mysliveck, while an aria from Haydn’s Stabat Mater reminds us that a stern austerity was also a feature of ‘storm and stress’.

Bayan Northcott – BBC Music magazine – Christmas 2020

“Mozartists thrill on urgent journey through second installment of Sturm und Drang.” ****½

Editor’s Choice – Vocal

“… Page and his players once again demonstrate their total identification with this music in playing of dizzying drive and accuracy. Comprehensive notes by the conductor give not only the musical and historical background but welcome explanations of the dramatic situations of the operatic pieces. Once again, high artistry conspires with scholarship and strength of concept to create a programme that scintillates from start to finish.”
