The baritone Andrè Schuen announces his album Mozart, a beautifully curated project of Mozart arias, duets and songs. The album celebrates Schuen’s deep and longstanding relationship to the composer and his birth- and creative place Salzburg.
On the album, Schuen is joined by the Mozarteum orchestra of Mozart’s hometown Salzburg with its chief conductor Roberto Gonzáles-Monjas, and further collaborates with mandolinist Avi Avital, pianist Daniel Heide and soprano Nikola Hillebrand.
“This album is conceived as my personal journey with Mozart’s music,” Schuen states. “I didn’t just want to present a list of Mozart’s arias for baritone and bass. Instead, I wanted to create interesting links and transitions that would draw the listeners in and establish a dramatic arc for the sequence as a whole.”
