How did Mozart listen to his own music at home in Salzburg? This recording provides the answer, as it was not only recorded in the house where he lived for a long time, but also with the clavichord he used to compose The Magic Flute, La clemenza di Tito and the Requiem. Although the keyboard of the clavichord has the same range of five octaves as the fortepianos Mozart used for concertos, the clavichord's weaker sound limited it to domestic use, to be heard by family members or employees who happened to be present. Baritone Georg Nigl and early keyboard specialist Alexander Gergelyfi have put together an intimate program of arias, overtures, cantatas, songs, fantasies, rondos and even the poignant Lacrimosa from the Requiem. This unique album lets us enter Mozart's house of his youth in Salzburg, where we sit next to an instrument he played himself and listen to two extraordinary performers, both irrevocably in love with the genius loci.
