Mozart: Overtures / Marcon

One way to measure Mozart's greatness is to listen to his overtures as entities apart from the operas they precede. Andrea Marcon and his terrific ensemble, La Certa, approach Mozart a la Baroque- vigorously, colorfully, and with accurate awareness of the sound world the composer was born into but changed forever. These overtures are gems of melodic inspiration, ingenious orchestration, and sheer zest that stand on their own. However, as the creative kernels of the works that follow them, they will make listeners want to revisit the operas they know and to acquire the rarer operas they have yet to discover.
