Mozart: Italian Arias

Between 1769 and 1773, Mozart made three travels to Italy, under the guidance of his father Leopold. The present program traces the stages especially of his first two trips from 1769 to 1771 , during which the young Mozart played an important role in Milan's musical life and reconstructs the most important musical encounters. Arias from "Mitridate" and "Ascanio in Alba" and "Betulia Liberata" can be heard. (Glossa)
