Mozart - The Complete Operas [Box Set 44CDs] (2009) FLAC
The advertisement blurb for this issue postulates it as a unique collection of the complete operatic works of Mozart, from the fascinating teenage works to the profound late masterpieces. As such it contains not only the great and famous operatic works, known and loved by every opera buff, but also his early operas and orchestration of fragments including L'oca del Cairo and Die garterin aus liebe.
Many of the early, lesser-known works included in this collection were recorded by DG, often in association with German radio stations. Other recordings, particularly of the later works, are drawn from the Philips catalogue that owes so much to the late Erik Smith, sometime producer for that label and Decca, and later head of Artists and Repertoire at Philips. As an accomplished musician, he was responsible for the orchestration of the fragments (CD 22) as explained in his biography Mostly Mozart (Porcellini Publications, 2005). He also sought to cast the original Philips label recordings of Mozart’s later works, here revived in Part 2, with the most distinguished international singers of the day, as is evidenced by those listed for each of the works concerned. Sometimes, when these singers were not Mozart specialists, this is a mixed blessing.
Although deriving from the Philips label’s The Complete Works of Mozart, issued in 1991, an issue owing much to Erik Smith, this collection appears on the Decca label which, together with DG is now part of the Universal stable. The collection is presented in two distinct parts, each being related to notes by a distinguished scholar. The eminent Mozart scholar Stanley Sadie is the author of the notes for the first part which deals with those operas written to Italian libretti and is titled the Italian Operas (CDs 1-33). The remaining works were written to German libretti; the liner-notes author in respect of these German operas is Richard Wigmore (CDs 34 to 44). Rather than commenting on each opera in this manner, I have decided to treat them in the order of composition, or, in the case of his last two operas, of their staging. In this way I can more easily incorporate linking comments on the influence of his father and librettists as well as the relevant social and musical milieu surrounding the composition.
Note: For ease of reference I have divided the review into two parts. This introduction and the early operas are dealt with in Part 1 and the mature work in Part 2. The cast for each, in sequence of composition or staging, is given at the end of the review. No recording dates or venues are provided with this collection.
