Search - Susan Graham :: Il Tenero Momento: Mozart & Gluck Arias

Following the rebirth of the Erato label in 2013, The Erato Story provides a retrospective of the label's landmark recordings from the years between 1952, the year Erato was founded, and 2003, when it ceased operation for ten years. In its first three decades, Erato had a particular focus on French music and French artists. Although Erato diversified over the 50 years covered by this collection, it maintained a distinctive focus on French music and on Baroque repertoire; these emphases are reflected in this collection. This Erato release features a variety of arias by Christoph Willibald Gluck and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, all performed by Susan Graham under the direction of Harry Bicket. Graham, born in 1960, is an American mezzo-soprano whose interests lie in French song repertoire. Bicket, born 1961, is a British conductor associated with baroque repertoire.
