Mozart - The Magic Flute - Overture (Levine/Met Orch)

Uploaded by TheGreatPerformers on Jun 3, 2007
I just love James Levine's conducting and those marvelous Met musicians for a "big band" version of this overture!
"It was his bequest to mankind, his appeal to the ideals of humanity. His last work is not Tito or the Requiem; it is Die Zauberflöte. Into the Overture, which is anything but a Singspiel overture, he compressed the struggle and victory of mankind, using the symbolic means of polyphony; working out, laborious working out in the development section; struggle and triumph"
---Alfred Einstein. "Mozart His Character, His Work". 1961

@Plymouthpilot I agree completely with you, I just can't resist his magic, creativity and of course, "geniusness"...HE was THE BEST, and will remain as the KING of Classical Music, what would he compose if he'd live in this era??....Regards.

Who ever mentions the "J" word again, for whatever reason, should have his eyes scooped out with a spoon and shoved down his throat.

@shaunc89 Actually, Mozart was a Freemason and the whole opera is full of Masonic symbology, legends, and rituals. I read a book on it for a music essay I was writing for university.

What you have to remember is that Mozart had no idea that people would be able to listen to his music again and again for years and still find something new and refreshing each time. I have been listening to Mozart's music regularly for more than 50 years and still can't get enough. Mozart will be remembered as long as mankind exists
