Sony Classical release the soundtrack for the third season of Mozart in the Jungle. The album features original performances by soprano Ana María Martínez and classical artists including Joshua Bell, Plácido Domingo, and Yo-Yo Ma. Mozart in the Jungle is a half-hour comedic drama based on the critically acclaimed memoir Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs & Classical Music by Blair Tindall. The series draws back the curtain on the world of music, where artistic dedication and creativity collide with mind games, politicking and survival instincts...

The soundtrack for the third season of Mozart in the Jungle is packed with beautiful classical music, some of which has been recorded especially for the show.

Personally I really enjoyed this - but if you're not a fan of classical / opera then there's little you'll find to embrace here. Fans of the show will find this to be a lovingly crafted musical souvenir of the third season. The soundtrack contains 12 tracks (52 min, 56 sec).
