Mozart The Magic Flute

180 Gram Vinyl! One of the Greatest Conductors of the 20th Century in the German Tradition! Full Color Cover Art!
"Karl Böhm was one of the greatest conductors of the twentieth century in the German tradition...He debuted in the USA at New York's Metropolitan Opera with Mozart's Don Giovanni in 1957, and took prominent German orchestras and opera companies on tour. The Vienna Philharmonic bestowed on him the title "Ehrendirigent," and he was proclaimed Generalmusikdirector of Austria. He left a legacy of many great recordings, including a complete Wagner Ring cycle considered by many critics to be the best. While his Wagner and Strauss were sumptuously Romantic, his Mozart was scrupulously Classical in approach." - Jospeh Stevenson, allmusic.com
The Magic Flute is a fairy tale, and at the same time a parable. It takes us into the realms of heaven and hell, and in a colorful succession of contrasting pictures shows us the human being standing between the two - irrespective of whether he strives for a modest share of worldly happiness or for a deep perception of truth.
