Info for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

In December 1997, Mariella Devia, one of the world’s best soprano singers, recorded a collection of popular Mozart music at Terto Lauro Rossi, Macerata. Mariella Devia is an Italian operatic coloratura soprano, well known for performing many roles in the bel canto repertoire. The album also features the Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana conducted by Daniele Callegari.

This Stereo and Multichannel DSD recording includes performances of Mozart’s Serenade No. 13 “Kliene Nachtmusik”, Exsultate, jubilate K.165, Regina Coeli K.108, and Laudate Dominum K.339, Ave verum K.618.

This album was originally released on a Hybrid Layer Multichannel Super Audio CD (SACD). Today the album is out of print on SACD disc – with new copies selling for over $900 each!

Fone tells us “The motet Exultate, jubilate” KV 165 was composed in Milan in the January of 1773. The piece doesn’t employ a choir, as it was expressly composed for the famous castrato Venanzio Raunzini, who sang the title role in Mozarts’ opera “Lucio Silla”. The subdivision in four movements (in the alternation fast – slow – fast) remembers the structure of a instrumental symphony, while the virtuoso-expressive treatment of the vocal part and the presence of a recitative refer to the Italian operatic style of the time.

Composed in Salzburg in the may of 1771, the “Regina Coeli” KV 108 follows the expressive patterns of the Neapolitan church music of Scarlatti, Pergolesi, Jommelli and Porpora. Two choral episodes, mostly homorythmic and richly orchestrated, frame the two brilliant arias of the solo soprano; both section of the first one are provided with the accompaniment of the choir. In the last movement the dialogue between soloist and tutti emphasizes the predominant role of the soloist, which is characteristic of the piece.”

Mariella Devia
born on April 12, 1948, is one of the supreme bel canto interpreters of the late 20th century.

Born in Chiusavecchia, she trained at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia before making her stage debut in 1973 in the title role of “Lucia di Lammermoor.” She would become a fixture throughout Italy, eventually making her debut at the Teatro alla Scala in 1987.

From there she would sing all around the world, including the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, the Paris Opera, the Royal Opera House, the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, the Festival della Valle d’Itria, the Pesaro Festival, and the Teatro la Fenice, among many others.

Devia retired from the stage in May 2018 with a performance of “Norma” at La Fenice. She was also awarded the “Premio Una Vita Nella Musica 2018.”

Devia was a consummate bel canto interpreter, centering on the works of Donizetti, Rossini, and Bellini. In sum, she sang a whopping 13 roles by Donizetti and championed some of the composer’s lesser-known operas, including “Il Castello di Kenilworth,” “Adelia,” “Marino Faliero,” and “Parisina.” She is one of the few artists to take on the three Tudor operas and “Lucrezia Borgia.”

She also interpreted 11 Rossini roles, including such rare works as “Adelaide di Borgogna,” “Il Signor Bruschino,” “Zelmira,” and “Mosè in Egitto.”

She also sang six Bellini roles and was also a renowned Mozartian, interpreting roles in five of Mozart’s most popular works.
