...January, Christopher Hogwood offered a concert performance, with the Handel and Haydn Society, of Mozart's second and last effort in the serious vein, La Clemenza di Tito. The renewal of these two pieces, which circumscribe Mozart's years of maturity and his best musical output, has been the major revelation in the months after the festivities anticlimaxed with innumerable performances of the Requiem last November...
...good, and an inspiring counter-example is John Eliot Gardiner's recording of La Clemenza di Tito (to be released April 21 on Deutsche Grammophon Archiv). Here, a truly innovative approach (using period instruments) combines with a genuine reappraisal of the opera as a whole, and the result is nothing less than a revelation.

"Our computer graphics project that after only six years in the crossover program, Tito could become Toshino," he explains, "the quiet, well-dressed, manicured, well-groomed, somewhat anal-retentive overachiever who is ready to enter the job market at the drop of a dollar." The sketch takes a slapstick twist when the Crossover King, suffering a relapse into his Latin self, suddenly starts dancing...
