  • Description

    ABC Classics presents the recording return of one of its brightest stars, soprano Emma Matthews. Following the success of her 2009 album Emma Matthews in Monte Carlo, recorded with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Emma now turns her unique talent to the passion, eloquence and beauty of Mozart Arias. Working closely from a young age with some of the greatest singers of the age, Mozart came to know the soprano voice intimately, and the arias he wrote for it are breathtaking, both in the extremes of range - from the famous and spectacular high Fs in the Queen of the Night aria, to the rich warmth of the lower registers - and in the breadth of drama and emotion that the music portrays. Emma Matthews has been performing the operas of Mozart to international acclaim for many years, and this album is a showcase of her skill and artistry, her extraordinary virtuosity, her expressive genius, and above all, her deep love of this sublime music. Emma Matthews has received seven Helpmann Awards, nine Green Room Awards, the 'Mo' Award for Classical Performer of the Year and the Remy Martin Australian Opera Award. She has performed with all the state opera companies and the major Australian symphony orchestras, and has appeared as a special guest with Jos Carreras at the Sydney Opera House.
