Mozart / Klemperer,Otto Die Zauberflote CD

Mozart: Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) Otto Klemperer brings his customary nobility of conception to Die Zauberfl?te, with it's 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. - These are the first five releases in a new line of premium releases of classic operatic recordings. - Each of these releases offers optimum sound quality. The four releases originally recorded using analogue techniques (Carmen, Die Zauberfl?te, Don Giovanni, Tosca) have all been newly remastered in 24-bit/96kHz at Abbey Road Studios using the latest technology, while La traviata benefits from it's stunning original digital recording. - In addition to the CDs, each of these releases includes a hardback, cloth-bound book of between 156 and 260 pages. This book contains: - the complete libretto (with translations) - a component now increasingly rare in opera sets; - an essay by the journalist and opera expert George Hall; - an impressive array of photographic material, with numerous pictures of the artists at the time the recording was made. - As George Hall writes of the series: "Although many other recordings of the same works exist, in each instance special factors are generally agreed to have given every one of these sets particular qualities that have continued to attract the highest critical praise, as well as the ongoing affection of generations of opera lovers. Having stood the test of time, the results can now be enjoyed by today's listeners in their optimum sonic manifestations."
