| This 1973 recital LP "Virtuoso Arias by W. A. Mozart" received the Grand Prix du Disque. "Astonish me!" Diaghilev would cry. He should have met Miss Moser. Her singing on this album is a ballet in itself, an astonishing exercise in daring and poise; but what sets the nerves dancing in response is the sense of dramatic command and musical intelligence that accompany the virtuosity. Such a sense is imparted right from the start. This Queen of Night makes her regal authority very clear in her first phrases; when she tells of "den Bosenwicht" it is with some venom and when she contemplates weakness it is with scorn. Similarly, this Constanze presents an invincible spirit, and this Donna Anna a deep store of tenderness. The fluidity, the cleanness, the extensiveness of the range are all quite astounding. 01 - O Zittre Nicht, Mein Lieber Sohn (04:54)
