About "Mitridate, re di Ponto, K.87 / Act 1 : Mozart: Mitridate, re di Ponto, K.87 / Act 1: "In faccia all'oggetto"" by Ileana Cotrubas

Cotrubas imbues this Mozart aria with operatic fire, her soprano a blade of light cutting through Baroque strings. The object of affection becomes a mirror for obsession, each ornament a trembling step toward surrender. Tension coils between decorum and desire, the voice suspended in a hush before the final, devastating cadence.
