Mozart: Arias for Male Soprano
Featuring Michael Maniaci

“Maniaci is a consummate musician and an artist of extraordinary intelligence and communicative power. Here, with the superb Boston Baroque… Maniaci sings arias written by Mozart for castratos in the operas "Idomeneo," "Lucio  Silla" and "La Clemenza di Tito" with spectacular virtuosity and interpretive richness… The crown of this collection is "Exsultate jubilate"— the work that contains Mozart's famous "Alleluja"… Maniaci sails through its vocal hurdles with phenomenal accuracy and tonal beauty…[and] with heartmelting expressivity.”
