A classic masterpiece with a refined structure and rich emotion.
This recording of excerpts from Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" is performed by the Deutsche Oper Berlin Orchestra under the baton of Karl Böhm. This outstanding performance features meticulous composition and natural singing, capturing the sound of a prestigious opera company.
This performance, typical of Böhm, emphasizes clarity over heaviness, vividly portraying Mozart's light wit and humanity. The tempo is gentle yet the musical flow is natural, and the orchestra's sound envelops you with warmth. In "I Won't Fly This Butterfly Anymore," the bass strikes a superb balance between humor and dignity, and the harmony between voice and orchestra is perfect throughout. The recording is clear, and the level of perfection allows you to fully enjoy the dramatic world of opera on a home LP. This recording embodies Böhm's aesthetic in interpreting Mozart.
