About
3 LP clamshell with 180 GR. LP
Liner notes & full libretto in EN, FR, DE – Limited edition
Otto Klemperer brings his customary nobility of conception to Die Zauberflöte, with its symbolic drama, and is joined by an exceptional cast. Gundula Janowitz sings Pamina with sublime beauty and the young Lucia Popp is brilliant as the Queen of the Night, the role that first made her reputation.
“Not the least extraordinary thing about this wonderful blend of the sublime and the humane is that it draws from all musicians the best of which they are capable … This issue is specially commended to those who are after the mystery and elevation of The Magic Flute.” Gramophone
„Derart perfekt gesungen und gespielt wie in dieser Einspielung wird die Zauberflöte in der Tat ein Meisterwerk.“ Neue Zürcher Zeitung
« On admire de bout en bout la qualité de l’orchestre, extraordinairement fouillé, et l’un des meilleurs couples Tamino-Pamina qu’on puisse rêver. Lucia Popp donne sa vraie dimension au rôle de la Reine de la Nuit. » Diapason
