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

    Music's sublime, but you have to turn off the visual or he'll just make you laugh!

    You can tell he's really getting into it when the conductor's stick starts shaking and he's practically dancing in his place.
