Chen Reiss on Despina And The Double 'N'

A sneak peek at an early edit of Chen Reiss' Philharmonia masterclass on Mozart arias, recorded at Bridewell Hall, London. The full 164-minute class will be available to download from our store on Wednesday 2nd December.

In this clip, focusing on soprano aria 'Una donna a quindici anni' from Così fan tutte, Chen Reiss encourages the student to consider the character of Despina, and to think about how the use of consonants help convey this.
