About
Following its successful full length opera, Artaxerxes, Classical Opera return with the first in an epic series of Mozart operas, Apollo et Hyacinthus. Named in The Guardian as one of ‘The Best Classical albums of 2012’.
Classical Opera has mounted two staged productions of Mozart’s Apollo et Hyacinthus (1998 and 2006), with both receiving wide critical acclaim; The Independent stated, “Classical Opera’s polished debut in Apollo et Hyacinthus proved a pearl beyond price. Here was a work of staggering beauty riddled with sweet noises like Caliban’s enchanted isle.”

There have been other recordings of this opera, but I can’t imagine them being any better than this one from Ian Page and the Mozartists. They are an outstanding group of musicians, and they’re blessed with at least two world-class singers...soprano Klara Ek, in the role of Melia, is thrilling, completely captivating, and a grand master of trills and ornaments. And in the role of Oebalus, tenor Andrew Kennedy is ready for prime time. Urgently recommended.
