Jommelli / Schafer / Neue Dusseldorfer Hofmusik - Sol Nascente - Italian Coloratura Arias [CD]

The debut release of coloratura soprano, Charlotte Schäfer accompanied by the Düsseldorfer Hofmusik led by Michael Preiser in a collection that focuses on the bravura arias written in the period between the Baroque and early Classical eras. With many of these arias being released for the first time, Schäfer's sublime performance invites us to consider the prescience of the young Mozart with "Sol Nascente" meaning rising sun written at the advent of the new Classical era.
