Description:

This is the first release from the super bel canto tenor Juan Diego Flores, the reigning "King of High D", with Sony Classical.

The period-instrument orchestra "La Scintilla" of the Zurich Opera, which was trained by Arnoncourt and Christie, and the Italian violinist Riccardo Minasi, principal conductor of the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, will conduct the performance, which will combine beautiful bel canto singing and period instruments. The beautiful bel canto singing and period instruments are combined to create a new Mozart singing style. Includes bilingual lyrics.
