Beautiful! I'm not familiar with this Mozart aria. Is it from one of his Operas?

[damekirilover]

It's a Concert-Aria composed for some certain singers, whom Mozart really adored in his time.

It's so obvious that Mozart is her specialty. She brings such deep perspective to her Mozart, yet she is still so clean, polished, and precise enough for his music. Pure genius

long live mozart,legend says that josepha duschek locked in mozart in the park's little house of her wonderful village,and not getting free him until he composed an aria for her,amadeus accepted the challenge on the condition that she sang it at first sight and thus was born this aria

Thank you for that additional info Barbora.... though you'd NEVER get me to agree that anyone could sing this aria any better than Kiri. There's nothing, in the whole world, sweeter than Kiri's voice to me. Never was - never will be. I'm a big fan, can you not tell!?

Angelitornado: Thank you :-) It´s one of his most famous arias (concert arias). It was composed here in Prague (Czech republic) for Josefina Duskova, a wife of his friend in their house he lived during his visits. But have to tell you I heard it sung better. The wonderfull "harmonies" of this composition were a bit lost in this recording.

I see. Thank you.
