Info for Mozart: An Italian Journey

The English tenor Jeremy Ovenden has established himself as being among the best Mozart 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. He is joined for this, his first solo recording, by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and conductor Jonathan Cohen in a fascinating musical journey through the Italian arias of Mozart, from Lucio Silla (composed when he was just 16) through to his final Italian opera La Clemenza di Tito.

“Ovenden has an attractive voice with bright, ringing overtones which in many ways is well suited to Mozart's music. His easy agility is ideal for the tricky semiquavers in Don Ottavio's 'Il mio tesoro', and neither his low notes nor upper register show the least strain.” (Classic FM Magazine)

"The fine tenor … sings with an engaging commitment to these joyous creations. A delightful selection." (The Observer)

"A most imaginative idea … his rhythm, diction and easy flexibility of voice are exemplary." (The Sunday Times)

"Ovenden proves complete master of his chosen repertory … for its artistic use, and for the close partnership Ovenden achieves with the OAE under Jonathan Cohen, l have only admiration." (BBC Music Magazine)
