Signum are proud to reissue Classical Opera’s debut CD, ‘The A-Z of Mozart Opera’, selected for Gramophone magazine’s annual Critic’s Choice in 2007. Based on the coincidence that Mozart’s first opera (Apollo et Hyacinthus) begins with ‘A’ and his last (Die Zauberflöte) with ‘Z’, this disc takes the listener on a chronological journey through Mozart’s operatic canon, featuring an aria or ensemble from fifteen of his operas.

My personal pick for giving this year is the Classical Opera Company’s glorious The A-Z of Mozart Opera, which is fresh, diverse, insightful and illuminating – Gramophone

A lovely disc which manages to introduce both Mozart’s genius and a range of lovely lyric voices, all in stylish performances which certainly make you want to hear more – Planet Hugill

Page, to my mind one of the most talented of today’s younger British conductors, immediately announced himself with this CD as a natural Mozartian – Early Music Review
