World Premiere Recording! We are aII familiar with Mozart s Die ZauberfIöte (The Magic FIute) to the libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder (1751 1812). lt is not wideIy known however that Schikaneder wrote a sequeI to The Magic FIute, which his friend Peter von Winter (1754 1825) set to music. 2012 the Salzburg Festival presented this operatic rarity in the form of a gIittering fairy-taIe opera fuII of magicaI events. The happy coupIe Pamina and Tamino have to master triaIs and tribuIations, Iike the separation by Sarastro in order to wander through an underground labyrinth and the continuing machinations of the Queen of the Night. WeII-loved Papageno who reunites with his parents and fi naIly marries his Papagena helps Tamino and Pamina in their efforts to reach a happy ending. The Salzburg production by young director AIexandra Liedtke features a number of star soIoists with Christof Fischesser as Sarastro and MaIin HarteIius and MichaeI Schade as the lovers Pamina and Tamino. Newcomer Thomas Tatzl gives a charming Papageno, who leads us through the story and is aIways good for an adventure. Ivor Boltonconducts his SaIzburg Mozarteum Orchestraenergetically, smoothIy and elegantIy, bringing out the best in Peter von Winter s charming score with its cIeverIy interwoven aIIusions to Mozart. His compositions partly marked the transition between Mozart and CarI Maria von Weber in the development in German opera. |
