The profile of Norwegian soprano Mari Eriksmoen continues to rise through her regular appearance on Europe's major opera, concert and recital stages, and she is consistently praised for her compelling blend of radiant stage personality and purity of vocal tone. This is her first opera arias recital and is focused on Handel and Mozart. Previously on album, Eriksmoen features on Schumann's Szenen aus Goethes Faust with Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under Daniel Harding, Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail, both with Akademie für alte Musik Berlin under René Jacobs and Glyndebourne Festival conducted by Robin Ticciati, and in a "poised, elegant and persuasive" (Guardian) debut recital album featuring songs by Grieg, Grøndahl, Wolf and Strauss with Alphonse Cemin (Alpha).
