The Making of the Magic Flute

The Making of the Magic Flute recording by René Jacobs

This recording represents in a sense the accomplishment of René Jacobs's Mozartian enterprise: after showing us another way of looking at the Da Ponte trilogy and taking a profoundly innovative approach to the two great opere serie (Idomeneo and La clemenza di Tito), he has now set out to harmonise the multitude of viewpoints exposed more or clearly in Die Zauberflöte, ranging far beyond its Masonic rituals and mixture of dramatic genres. As a result, Mozart's most "nocturnal" work is illuminated as if by . . . magic.

Wow these tempos are alot better than the ones they use commonly. I can't say I like the wooden flute sound in the musical passage towards the end of the opera though. However it sounds like it shall be good.
