Ernst Häfliger - "Ich baue ganz auf deine Stärke" (W. A. Mozart)

I'm guessing this is from the Fricsay recording.

Not the complete version, but I've read online that the complete score was never recorded at this time, and it was only later on that the first full recording emerged. Personally, I feel the cutting of the bravura in this aria detracts greatly from the magic of the aria, which is supposed to be an outburst of fioritura to drive the point (especially since it would've been only a minute more, and the singer is more than capable of doing it. What do you think?). That said, this rendition is still very beautiful, as Häfliger possesses a very pure voice.

Thanks, one of my favorite tenors of all time and very underrated in my opinion.

Un cantante, un musicista, ineguagliato: ricerca sonora e stilistica straordinari!! Potrebbe oggi avere un erede, con le debite proporzioni e differenze, nel giovane SEBASTIEN GUEZE. Ve lo segnalo!
