Mozart, You Drive Me Crazy !

Description

Mozart, You Drive Me Crazy! This is the title that South African soprano Golda Schultz has chosen for her new album, dedicated to the female heroines of Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and The Marriage of Figaro, roles that have marked her career from Berlin to the Metropolitan Opera: "Why does Mozart drive me crazy? First of all, because his music, which seems so easy when you listen to it, is extremely difficult to interpret... And when I immerse myself in the world of Da Ponte and Mozart, I realize that their female characters are of profound complexity: they endure the harshest trials, but they also display great strength. In fact, these operas explore humanity from a female perspective: each of them evolves constantly. They show how human beings transcend trauma and how grief and pain can be overcome." This program is conducted by another great Mozartian, Antonello Manacorda, with the Kammerakademie Potsdam.
