"Karajan fans, who lack this recording, should not hesitate and I hope that others now have some idea of what to expect. Karajan's approach is refreshing and the singing is superb. At its new mid-price it can certainly be a valuable alternative. "Mozart at 70", maybe - and why not?"
(MusicWeb Feb 2006)
Herbert von Karajan's Decca recording of Mozart's most popular opera was made after long familiarity with the work, both in the theatre and on record.
Karajan is responsible for some of the greatest Mozart opera recordings of all time and this fine performance is proof of his understanding of the composer's genius. An outstanding cast led by Ileana Cotrubas, Frederica von Stade and José van Dam, this reissue sees this recording available at mid-price for the first time.
