I’ve owned several Mozart collections over the years and “Soave sia il Vento” linked by @K364 is the only piece from “Cosi fan Tutte” that I’ve ever seen on them.
BTW K 364, Sinfonia Concertante, is one of my favorite Mozart pieces. It was great to be reminded of it, and I’m listening right now to the Itzhak Perlman / Pinchas Zukerman performance.
And a fun 3 minute synopsis of Cosi Fan Tutte, with a 10 second background clip of “Soave” starting at 1:14
@K364 glad you liked it! WQXR is my car radio station when commuting and the 3 Minute Opera feature is a high spot. Since I’m working from home, I decided to look them up online. Here’s the only other Mozart one I found:
“A silvery bust of Mozart with some spray paint on him” sounds familiar. Was it this album? It doesn’t have anything from Così fan tutte, but it does have some other opera excerpts. It’s Philips, and your description of the cover art is spot-on.
Thanks for all the links, everyone. I’ve been enjoying listening to them.
@erysichthon, thanks for the link to the album. That’s it. I suddenly realised that even though I knew it was a Phillips album, for some reason I was searching as if it were Deutsche Grammophon. Where’s ol’ smackie when you need him?
And it was track 7 that I was thinking of, wtih “tutti” in the title: “Contessa, Perdono… Ah, Tutti Contenti” - which interestingly, came up in the YouTube feed for the clip @K364 suggested.
