‘Zero to Hero’ proclaims Sony of a recital that begins with the ‘loser’ Don Ottavio (is he?) and ends with the guilt-ridden anti-hero Idomeneo. Never mind the slick rubric. Buoyed by spirited and colourful support from Michi Gaigg’s period band, Daniel Behle confirms his high reputation as a Mozart lyric tenor. His unforced, evenly produced tone is always easy on the ear, his coloratura fluent, his phrasing stylish and sensitive. He can spin a tender mezza voce, as in a dulcet ‘Un’ aura amorosa’, enhanced by soft, ‘woody’ clarinets and bassoons; and with a seam of metal in his tone, he rises impressively to the bravura challenges of a gargantuan aria from the biblical oratorio La Betulia liberata and Idomeneo’s anguished ‘Fuor del mar’, sung in its original, uncut version.

There is character, too, in Behle’s singing: a mingled ardour and musing intimacy in Tamino’s portrait aria, quivering excitement tempered with elegance in Belmonte’s ‘O, wie feurig’, a roguish smile in the tone in Ferrando’s blithe lovesong ‘Ah, lo veggio’, its volleys of top B flats deftly negotiated. Urgency can get the better of him in Belmonte’s ‘Wenn der Freude Tränen fliessen’ and Ottavio’s ‘Il mio tesoro’, which emerge as jauntily determined marches, short on poetry and grace. Here and elsewhere Behle can be appoggiatura-shy, leaving phrase endings blunt where they should be expressively rounded. That said, it’s hard to think of a contemporary tenor who could better encompass the varied demands of these arias. Sadly, Sony’s presentation is barely adequate, with a skimpy, gushing note on the arias and no texts or translations.
