Così fan tutte contains some of Mozart´s most sublime music. On one level, the opera is purely a social anecdote about young people falling in and out of love; but Mozart was a supreme sensualist and a great humanist, and invested the tale with all his understanding of humanity and young love.

On this CD, David Timson refutes the charge that Mozart squandered his genius on a work full of trivial nonsense and proves this ´miraculous yet problematic´ opera to be a great work of theatre. To listen to this thought-provoking examination of the characters and the music is both thoroughly enriching and great fun.
