Die Zauberflöte (CD)

In 1946, the legendary producer Walter Legge went to Vienna for what turned out to be a momentous meeting with Herbert von Karajan. It led to many treasurable recordings, among them this version of of Die Zauberflöte, made in 1950. With a cast including such singers as Irmgard Seefried, Sena Jurinac, Anton Dermota and Erich Kunz, it evokes a golden era for Mozart in Vienna.

History

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte)

Mozart’s final opera (written before La Clemenza di Tito but first performed later) premiered in Vienna in September 1791, just weeks before the composer’s death, with Mozart conducting the orchestra from the fortepiano. A timeless fairy tale, it was a major success from the beginning and never lost its place as one of the most popular works in the repertoire. Julie Taymor’s beloved Met production opened in 2004. Its abridged English-language version, which returns in December 2013 as the company’s annual holiday presentation for families, inaugurated the Met’s Live in HD series of performance transmissions to movie theaters around the world in 2006.
