This CD features star soprano Soile Isokoski with famous opera and concert arias by Mozart, including "Dove sono" from Figaro and the minuet-lullaby "Ruhe sanft" from Zaide. Conductor Peter Schreier - who is one of the great tenors of the 20th century - leads the Tapiola Sinfonietta throughout the programme. The concert aria "Ch'io mi scordi di te?" - a hybrid of piano concerto and opera genre - features a piano soloist part, performed by Mrs. Isokoski's longstanding duo partner Marita Viitasalo.
