Mozart Arias;

Magdalena Kozená's first all-Mozart album--and her first

album in collaboration with partner Sir Simon Rattle--stands

out as one of the highlights of 2006's Mozart Anniversary

celebrations.

Magdalena is a natural Mozart singer, garnering rave reviews

and enchanting audiences wherever she performs Mozart

on stage. Recent performances in Philadelphia, Los Angeles,

Berkeley and New York (Carnegie Hall) have brought her

glowing praise.

This album is a collection of some of Mozart's finest arias

for female voice, mostly for mezzo-soprano but Magdalena

also taps her soprano potential with arias including Vitellia's

"Non più di fiori" from La Clemenza di Tito.

Sir Simon Rattle is the ideal conductor for this project,

delicately wrapping Magdalena's voice in vivid and sensitive

orchestral sounds of the Orchestra of the Age of

Enlightenment, the period ensemble with which he has

been working for more than a decade.

This release features one of the world's most exciting voices

joined by a brilliant conductor and ensemble--a Mozart

recording poised to captivate music lovers and critics

worldwide.
