Marking the end of Mozart's early operas, Idomeneo is commonly regarded as the composer's greatest serious opera and his first operatic masterpiece, containing many allusions to the style of the French lyric opera thanks to its beautiful choruses and ballets.
The work was largely neglected until the mid-20th century but is now part of the standard operatic repertoire.
A classic performance of Idomeneo from 1956 Glyndebourne, conducted by Sir John Pritchard, featuring an excellent cast, with brilliant Sena Jurinac and formidable Leopold Simoneau.
Booklet contains liner notes and synopsis.
