Mozart: Idomeneo, K. 366

Nikolaus Harnoncourt deeply admired the purity of Rachel Yakar’s voice and included her to the cast of numerous operatic productions. As part of our homage to the great soprano, who passed away on June 24th, here is the re-issue of Mozart’s Idomeneo, one of her legendary collaborations with the conductor and most celebrated performances on record, in which she embodies the role of Trojan princess Ilia. This album which was previously available only as highlights includes new streaming-friendly audio-cut and is extended with the complete alternate arias and recitatives Mozart composed for the 1786 revised version.
