Mozart: Opera & Concert Arias is the first recital disc made for Virgin Classics by young Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca. She is partnered in an interesting program of 10 Mozart arias by the Camerata Salzburg under Louis Langrée encompassing pieces drawn from La finta giardinera, La Clemenza di Tito, and Cosí fan tutte, the last-named being a ...
