The 9CD box set of the Da Ponte trilogy by Teodor Currentzis and musicAeterna is a grand project that makes a new impact on the history of Mozart opera. Currentzis reconstructs the three great operas, "Le nozze di Figaro," "Don Giovanni," and "Cosi fan tutte," with a thoroughly honed aesthetic and an interpretation filled with tension. While maintaining classical balance, he boldly contrasts dramatic momentum, sharp rhythms, and breathtaking silences, vividly bringing out the passion and human drama hidden within the works. musicAeterna's precise yet supple ensemble responds to the extreme level of expression demanded by Currentzis, maintaining tightly woven theatrical intensity from arias and ensembles through to the finales. The recordings are refined down to the finest detail, and the dense energy of the moments when voices and orchestra become one comes through with overwhelming presence, whether on CD or vinyl. This CD box set is the crystallization of Currentzis's artistic vision, presenting Mozart's three great operas as "living dramatic works" for the modern age, and stands as a definitive recording that sets a new benchmark for the Da Ponte trilogy. Recording: 2012-2015, Perm Tchaikovsky Opera and Ballet Theatre, Perm, Russia. Recording format: digital / session.
