After her critically acclaimed Handel album, Danielle de Niese returns with a feast of Mozart’s most beautiful arias.

Her partnership 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.

“a voice seductive enough to woo gods as well as mortals… there is nothing restrained about Ms. De Niese’s warmly voluptuous and passionate singing” New York Times
