Mozart: Die Zauberflöte

Description

Mozart's most popular opera "The Magic Flute": conductor Martin Wahlberg's successful bet!Martin Wahlberg and his Orkester Nord complete here their discographic series dedicated to French opéra-comique, with The Magic Flute. Surprising, yes, but research has shown that Mozart's masterpiece directly descends from the French tradition and an Enlightenment initiatory tale. In this version, which includes all the dialogues, a cast similar to that of the premiere (with Ruth Williams, a 16-year-old Pamina who gives a unique color to the vocal ensemble), and unpublished fragments (the flute fantasy from the trial of silence), the Norwegian conductor proves that it is still possible to surprise with one of the most well-known stage works, and allows us to take a fresh look at this timeless, monumental opera and the eternal reflections it raises.
