Le Nozze di Figaro

0 - Default Title
Description
Sony Classical announces a major new Mozart opera project with conductor Teodor Currentzis and his orchestra & choir MusicAeterna. A no-compromise studio recording cycle of Mozarts three Da Ponte operas. The recordings represent an unprecedented commitment by the artists in terms of preparation, session and post-production. Sony Classical launch the series with Le Nozze Di Figaro in February 2014, Cosi Fan Tutte in Autumn 2014 and Don Giovanni in Autumn 2015. In 2011, when invited to the post of Artistic Director at Perms opera house, Currentzis negotiated unheard-of conditions: unlimited rehearsal time; the freedom to schedule performances depending on the quality reached in rehearsals; the necessary resources to explore with his musicians anything deemed necessary for a fuller understanding of the repertoire, from Baroque dance steps to 20th century poetry and avant-garde cinema. The orchestra and choir emphatically embrace a non-establishment attitude, constantly questioning themselves and striving for perfection. As important as their musical prowess (many members are laureates of international competitions) is their willingness to undergo exceptional rigours to reach the shared artistic goals. Figaro was recorded in sessions of up to fourteen hours a day over eleven straight days and nights. It is an accepted part of these musicians daily routine to spend a whole night of work and discussion about its progress at the opera house if necessary or to devote a full rehearsal to shaping one single chord to perfection. Currentzis has tried to create an environment for those who search for what he calls a real life in music. Since the founding of MusicAeterna, Currentzis and the ensemble have been awarded 4 Golden Masks Russias top performing arts award. Currentzis approach to the Mozart scores is based on the conviction that it is virtually impossible today to hear them performed precisely and in full
