Marie Perbost - Joseph Martin Kraus: Voix des Lumieres (CD)

One genius hides another. Behind Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven were many talented composers who contributed to the development of the classical style, but who are still little known. Generation Mozart brings back into the limelight these forgotten masters. They dedicate their first volume to Joseph Martin Kraus. Mozart's exact contemporary, he was the first architect of the Swedish musical school, which earned him the nickname"Swedish Mozart". Génération Mozart and it's conductor Pejman Memarzadeh join forces with soprano Marie Perbost to put him in his rightful place, through an album mixing opera, arias and orchestral pieces.
