About
“When I sing this music [Mozart], something indefinable happens. It’s like being in heaven… Perhaps that’s what people mean when they say Mozart’s music comes straight from God.” Karina Gauvin
Together with arias from Die Zauberflöte and Le Nozze di Figaro, Karina Gauvin’s selection from Mozart’s opera arias includes the moving Aer tranquillo (Il Re Pastore) and spectacular Come scoglio (Cosi fan tutte), and concert arias such as Chi’o mi scordi di te. Karina Gauvin sings this delightful Mozart recital with Les Violons du Roy under the baton of Bernard Labadie. The recording includes great opera overtures by Mozart as well.

Awards and reviews
September 2014
the playing of the Quebec-based enseble, Les Violons du Roy, is lightly sprung, light-textured and with nothing ever over-pointed or over-urged...Gauvin is also a true soprano-lite...Lupo is a sweet-toned pianist in the leisurely paced concert aria 'Non temer, amato bene'.
September 2014
Gauvin has proved herself one of the most delightful of Baroque sopranos...Her pellucid tone, now flecked with deeper, richer colouring, and precise, nimble coloratura give comparable pleasure in Mozart...Labadie's Les Violons du Roy (modern instruments) provide a worthy setting for Mozart-singing of poise, grace and spirit.
25th May 2014
The Canadian singer, a sans pareille Handelian, proves a no less outstanding Mozartian...Gauvin’s Vitellia and Fiordiligi have penetrating low notes.
