Ian Page, founder and Artistic Director of Classical Opera, talks about Mozart, the classical era and his musical plans for the summer
With a new recording of concert arias with the soprano Sophie Bevan just out from Signum, concert performances of Mozart’s Apollo and Hyacinthus in Birmingham and London, and another recording Mozart’s Il sogno di Scipione due this autumn, Ian Page and his Classical Opera are busy. Gramophone’s James Jolly met the conductor to talk about Mozart 250, a year-by-year survey of Mozart’s life, times and work, that will take them long into the future, the composers of the classical period and what authenticity means.
