Music reviews of The Mozart Album

Music Review: New Voice, Old News
Rating: 3 Stars

First of all, let me say that I have great respect for those who sing opera well. The time, energy and commitment it takes to build an international career are daunting, to say the least. Those who choose a career in opera, and actually pull it off, are to be commended and encouraged.

Danielle de Niese sings opera well, at times better than that, and Mozart is a good fit for her voice. That being the case, however, doesn't quite justify this pretentiously titled collection. I can think of half a dozen singers (including Bartoli, Battle, Fleming & Dessay) who have put a more personal stamp on this repertoire, and whose albums I'm more likely to return to when I need a Mozart fix. Perhaps if de Niese and her producers had selected more obscure works, this album would feel less like an obligation towards fulfilling a recording contract. (deNiese might do well to take her lead from Kate Royal, who scored beautifully of late by putting together an exquisite album of mostly obscure, rarely heard arias.)

In short, unless you're a diehard de Niese fan -- has she been around long enough to even have diehard fans? -- none of The Mozart Album is essential listening. It does nothing to grab, excite or defy one's expectations.

Description of The Mozart Album

Danielle DeNiese made her Met debut as Barbarina in Le nozze di Figaro. At just 19, it was already clear that she was destined to be a major Mozart singer, with her extraordinary sensitivity to language and ability to communicate emotion through the expressive use of vocal color, not to mention her personal charisma, her star quality and the irresistible force of her personality. This recording of Mozart arias is thus a natural follow-up to the remarkable Handel album. Her partnership here with Sir Charles Mackerras lends her the wise and authoritative support of one of the great modern heroes of Mozart performance style and practice. It's an added bonus that in the only duet on this album--"Là ci darem la mano" from Don Giovanni--Danielle is reunited after ten years with the great Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, who had also been in the Figaro in which she made her Met debut. From the famously elaborate coloratura piece, "Exsultate, jubilate" to the ever famous concert piece "Bella mia fiamma, addio!," Danielle displays her remarkable versatility and ability do demonstrate musical and emotional contrast. On Mozart Arias, she also explores other opera gems from world famous operas such as: Cosi fan tutte, Idomeneo, Don Giovanni, and more!
