Mozart
Arias arranged for flute and string trio
by Johann Went (1745 - 1801)
Mozart Ensemble of the Vienna Volksoper
Hansgeorg Schmeiser, flute & piccolo
Bettina Gradinger, violin
Peter Sagaischek, viola
Christophe Pantillon, 'cello
This imaginative recording comprises arrangements of famous arias from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, Don Giovanni and Die Entführung aus dem Serail which were all made by Johann Went within a year of the première of each opera. The ensemble for which they are written (flute, violin and 'cello) differs from the more usual wind groups (known as Harmonie) that were favoured for providing outdoor entertainment during late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Vienna.
