FIRST RELEASE OF MOZART'S OPERATIC MASTERPIECE ON DVD!
MAJOR RELEASE FOR 'MOZART 2006', FEATURING SYLVIA McNAIR, JERRY HADLEY AND SIR NEVILLE MARRINER.
In a major operatic addition to Mozart’s 250th Anniversary, this release sees the first availability of Mozart’s early masterpiece, his opera seria, ‘Il re pastore’, on DVD. Its story, set in Classical antiquity, tells of the thwarted love of Aminta (the innocent ‘shepherd king’ of the title) for the well-born Elisa, and that of the nobleman Agenore for the deposed tyrant’s daughter Tamiri. No less a figure than Alexander the Great resolves these conflicts of private passion and public status. First performed in Salzburg in 1775, Sir Neville Marriner conducts a top international cast, including Sylvia McNair, Jerry Hadley and Iris Vermillion, in this 1989 staging from Salzburg’s Landestheater.
The disc features both CD-quality stereo and a DTS 5.1 surround sound, and subtitles in English, French, German, Spanish and Chinese.
Extra features consist of a Mozart Picture Gallery and Mozart Chronology.
This release follows the three new Mozart DVD releases in January 2006, marking the forthcoming 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth – John Eliot Gardiner conducting the Requiem and C Minor Mass, a collection of Mozart’s choral works, sung by the legendary Vienna Boys’ Choir, and a dazzling performance of Mozart’s last two symphonies, given by Riccardo Muti and the Vienna Philharmonic at a Salzburg Festival concert in 1991.
