About

The interplay of the characters has never been more purposefully presented, making nonsense of the old idea of this piece as stiff and static.” The Guardian
 
La Clemenza di Tito was commissioned to celebrate the coronation of the Emperor Leopold II as King of Bohemia in 1791, and was written in eighteen days. 
 
Nicholas Hytner's elegant staging, performed in the original Italian language, was premiered during the Mozart Bicentenary season at Glyndebourne on 28th June, 1991. An impressive cast is led by Philip Langridge (Tito), Ashley Putnam (Vitellia) and Diana Montague (Sesto). 
 
New secco recitatives, to replace those written by Mozart’s pupil Süssmayr, were commissioned by Glyndebourne from composer Stephen Oliver for this production. Andrew Davis conducts the LPO.
 
“[Langridge] is tremendously strong and impressive in the emotional twists and turns of the recitative.” The Times
 
Please note that this disc has been repackaged and re-released in worldwide NTSC format (previously available as 100 406).
