Michael Spyres sings Mozart: Mitridate, rè di Ponto, K. 87, Act III: “Vado incontro al fato estremo“

This electrifying recording of Mozart’s Mitridate, which he wrote at just 14 years old, stars baritenor Michael Spyres in the title role with Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre. Discover here: When Michael Spyres sang this role in Paris in 2016, Opera magazine wrote: “With their vertiginous leaps and wide range, Mozart’s arias present formidable technical challenges, not least for the tenor in the title role, who is pushed to extremes. Michael Spyres, a singer of exceptional agility and control, took these in his stride.“ A year later, he took the role at London’s Royal Opera House, and this time Opera magazine praised his performance as “never less than thrilling“, noting that his recitatives were “outstanding for their beauty and unforced eloquence.“ The cast of the album also features vocal stars Julie Fuchs as Aspasia, Sabine Devieilhe as Ismene, Elsa Dreisig as Sifare, Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian as Farnace, Adriana Bignagni Lesca as Arbate, and Cyrille Dubois as Marzio.
