Mozart s least-known stage work, played on period instruments! All of the soloists specialize in historical performance practice; since itsfoundation in 1996 at the Anton Bruckner Private University, the L Orfeo Baroque Orchestra has developed into one of today s leading ensembles for historical performance practice.

Mozart's Betulia Liberata
This is one of those rare CD's where everything is perfect. The quality of recording is nice (the harpsichord is clearly audible with a lovely effect), the sound of the orchestra, the election of tempi, the wondeful singers and overall the music. Betulia is a wonderful work full of beautiful arias written in a typical early-classical style. Although all the singers are very good, I must say I am very impressed with tenor Christian Zenker, a clean and agile voice, and with alto Margot Oitzinger. I hope to hear from this orchestra and Michi Gaigg in future.

Enfin!
Quel bonheur de pouvoir vivre une époque où les orchestres sur instruments anciens se mettent à remettre à l'honneur des partitions longtemps et très injustement négligées. La Betulia en fait partie. Mozart, dès son plus jeune âge, a produit des partitions d'un intérêt absolument évident malheureusement fort mal interprétées au disque. Grâce à l'excellent Orfeo barockorchester, c'est chose réparée. Disque très chaudement recommandé aux mozartiens passionnés.
