‘Gluck Arias’ with Ann Hallenberg receives Nomination from International Opera Awards
We are pleased to announce our recording of Gluck Arias with Ann Hallenberg has been nominated for Best Recording at the International Opera Awards. Reviews for the album have been exceptional:
“Here is an excellent album for demonstrating the much wider range of jewels Gluck can offer” THE TIMES
“Page and The Mozartists play with great style and commitment, really sounding like they are enjoying themselves. And, listening to this skilfully curated exposition of Gluck’s humane genius, so was I.” GRAMOPHONE
“Hallenberg’s vocal dexterity brings great pleasure. … Applause too for considerable Page’s booklet in notes, which set up the context for each opera and aria. Almost unheard of these days” THE TIMES
“Conductor Ian Page radiates meticulous musical precision, contagious interpretative joy and a serene confidence that inspires and unites the musicians of The Mozartists.” SONOGRAMA
“Hallenberg combines extraordinary vocal versatility with an expressive capacity that allows her to move naturally between pyrotechnic virtuosity and the most delicate emotional introspection.” SONOGRAMA
