Magic Mozart features French singers, excellent Mozart interpreters: Sandrine Piau, Jodie Devos, Lea Desandre, Loïc Félix, Florian Sempey, Stanislas de Barbeyrac. Clever & popular Mozart program, including hit tracks from Magic Flute, Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Entführhrung aus dem Serail. Special packaging: lenticular cover with flip effect, showing Mozart emerging from behind wafts of misty clouds, depending on which angle you are looking at the cover image from. A sort of 'enchanted Mozart Cabaret'.

"Dubbed 'a magical cabaret' by conductor Laurence Equilbey, this is the album of a theatrical performance that, poignantly, was due to open in Paris in June... As a CD programme it has a random, bitty feel that left me simultaneously wanting more and less...If you can cope with this apparent arbitrariness, there is some classy singing on offer, finely supported by Equilbey's lively period band." Gramophone

"Highlights are Stanislas de Barbeyrac's Tamino's Portrait aria, Sandrine Piau in Countess Almaviva's solos, and Soave sia il vento from Così, ravishingly sung by Piau, Léa Désandre and Florian Sempey. Now that is magic." Sunday Times
