Again the story of the King of Ponto.The man who fought two wars.One against the Roman Empire and another one against his sons for the love of ASPASIA. It all started when Wolfgang Amadeus and father Leopold went for a tour in Italy.There he was commissioned an Opera about the fights of the Greek against foreign occupation. Actually it's a story of love, blood or family ties being thicker than water or love for women.They were all in love with the woman who finally gets them together to save their country.The King shows rage because he has chosen ISMENE for one of the sons. The voices are All very clear.Tenors, sopranos,alto soprano, castrato soprano...The appearance of a baritenore adds some freshness to the whole thing. Being as I am a lover of low voices I guess we could recover from the draught of sopranos and tenors with a few baritenores,and Mezzos with long tessituras.That would do the job.Because baritones and basses are right now great. Dear MANOLI I understand your inconditional love for this opera given your Greek roots. The dress code is more PUCCINI like in one of his oriental dreams.But it adds in colour and vibrance.❤🎉
Mitridate has been my favorite Mozart opera since first hearing the Hager recording in 1977, when I was fourteen years old. This was always my favorite number; but then, I'm a sucker for a good rage aria. Spyres is the finest Mitridate in my experience, not just for his superlative vocalism, but also for the wide dramatic and emotional range he brings to the part. I feel sorry for the audiences between 1771 and 1971, who never had the opportunity to hear this magnificent work. Thank you, Manoli!
@@jasonhurd4379 🤔 Maybe we've ALL been missing something too in two hundred years,since there were no recordings.When I hear the phrase of praying for the UNHEARD, it's that what comes to my mind...

I like Michael Spyres' voice. This baritenor voice is very impressive.
Thank you, dear Manoli.
Spyres est au ténor ce que Ramey est à la basse: la virtuosité.
