Welsh tenor Stuart Burrows was born at Pontypridd on 7 February 1933. He studied in Wales and made his opera debut in Nabucco with Welsh National Opera in 1963. His Covent Garden debut was as Beppe (Pagliacci) in 1967; the same year he made his American debut with the San Francisco Opera. Other important debuts followed with Tamino (Die Zauberflöte) at the Vienna State Opera in 1971 and New York Met in 1972.

Mozart was always an important part of Stuart Burrows’s repertory and in Solti’s 1969 recording of Die Zauberflöte he sang the role of Tamino. He participated in a number of other Decca recordings and this all-Mozart recital displays his stylish interpretations of a selection of Mozart arias to perfection. It is released at the start of the Mozart Anniversary year and appears as the original complete programme for the first time on CD.
