Olga Peretyatko’s latest release is a compelling one, seeing her pair familiar concert and opera arias by Mozart with pieces by his less well-known contemporaries. For many, it will serve as their first introduction to Tommaso Traetta’s Antigona and Martín y Soler’s Il Burbero di Buon Cuore (The Good-Hearted Curmudgeon), both worthy inclusions, and a reminder of the unique strengths of Paisiello’s Barbiere.
