Mozart: La Clemenza di Tito (OABD7068D) (2005)<br /> <br /> Susan Graham (Sesto); Hannah Esther Minutillo (Annio); Catherine Naglestad (Vitellia); Ekaterina Siurina (Servilia); Roland Bracht (Publio); Christoph Prégardien (Thomasin Rand); Paris Opera Orchestra; Sylvain Cambreling<br /> <br /> Commissioned for the coronation of Leopold II in Prague, Mozart’s last opera is a deep, humane reflection on relationships, power and forgiveness. With the composition of some of the most beautiful passages in his oeuvre, Mozart has succeeded in giving this opera<br /> seria both a noble sobriety and transparent instrumentation, to which this commanding production by the Hermann partnership does full justice on all levels. Susan Graham’s most extraordinary Sesto and Christoph Prégardien’s superb Tito set the standard for this riveting<br /> Opéra National de Paris performance, conducted by the outstanding Sylvain Cambreling.<br /> <br /> "An evening of overwhelming beauty." (Le Monde )<br /> <br /> "Everybody was taken by the warmth and the emotion in Susan Graham’s voice as well as her breathtaking acting." (Le Figaro)
