Description

Die Zauberflöte (2 CD)

“Among period performances William Christie’s stands out,” wrote Gramophone of this recording of Die Zauberflöte, an interpretation that falls “sweetly and lovingly on the ear”. Hans-Peter Blochwitz is “probably the finest Tamino around”, Rosa Mannion a Pamina of “much charm [who] blossoms into maturity and indeed passion” and Natalie Dessay a “magnificent Queen of the Night … with ample weight and tonal glitter.” Anton Scharinger makes a stylish, witty Papageno and Reinhard Hagen a Sarastro of both warmth and authority.

History

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
Die Zauberflöte

Premiere: Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden, Vienna, 1791. Die Zauberflöte—a sublime fairy tale that moves freely between earthy comedy and noble mysticism—was written for a theater located just outside Vienna with the clear intention of appealing to audiences from all walks of life. The story is told in a singspiel (“song-play”) format characterized by separate musical numbers connected by dialogue and stage activity, an excellent structure for navigating the diverse moods, ranging from solemn to lighthearted, of the story and score. The composer and the librettist were both Freemasons—the fraternal order whose membership is held together by shared moral and metaphysical ideals—and Masonic imagery is used throughout the work. The story, however, is as universal as any fairy tale.
