Akademie Fur Alte Musik Berlin Mozart: Die Singspiele CD

These two works represent the alpha and omega of Mozart. With these performances of Die Entf?hrung aus dem Serail (1782), probably the composer's first absolute masterpiece, and Die Zauberfl?te (1791 - the year of his death), Ren? Jacobs penetrates to the heart of Mozartian singspiel. Featuring singers, a chorus and an orchestra ideally suited to the works, these two complete recordings are now among the benchmarks of the discography.
