Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro] (Complete Opera recorded in 1961)

One of Fricsay's last recordings, this sublime Figaro is once more restored to the catalogue. It boasts a Who's Who of great Mozarteans from the late-1950s/early 1960s, including Irmgard Seefried, Maria Stader and Hertha Töpper, with, of course, the magnificent Fischer-Dieskau in incomparable form as the Count Almaviva. The extensive booklet notes include a synopsis, notes on the provenance of the opera and on the artists.
