About

“Full of fire, spirit and life.” is how Mozart described this work of his contemporary, presented here for the first time on this new 2-CD set.

Mozart’s positive verdict on Josef Mysliveček (1737-1781) was intended to make the listener aware, for the fact that the extremely critical Salzburg composer expresses himself positively about a colleague is an absolute exception. His oratorio Adamo ed Eva, performed in Florence in 1771, was composed at precisely the time when contact with the Mozart family seemed to have been particularly close.

The work, presented by Il Gardellino alongside soloists Valerio Contaldo, Luciana Mancini, Roberta Mameli and Alice Rossi under and under the direction of Peter van Heyghen, gives a good impression of what Mozart appreciated about Mysliveček’s music: melodic ingenuity as well as transparency and lightness of musical language. Highly recommended.
