Description
After having recorded a whole series of stereophonic recordings from 1958 to 1961, in 1962, Bruno Walter intended to record two works: Die Zauberflote and Fidelio. Unfortunately the great director died that same year. In 1956, however, he had conducted a legendary performance at the Metropolitan Opera of Die Zauberflote. For the American public, he had chosen give the English version of Mozart's to last operatic masterpiece.
This version, excellently recorded by the MET technicians, has been published several times in very bad sound conditions. However, in recent times we have come into possession of a finally unaltered master that reproduces the original 1956 band: therefore, even being MONO, it is of excellent quality and perfectly reproduces both the orchestra conducted by Walter and the presence of the singers' voices. Urania issues a new version minimally restored with the certainty of contributing to an increase in a discography that is still fundamental today.
Cast: Tamino: Brian Sullivan, Pamina: Lucine Amara, Queen of the Night: Roberta Peters, Sarastro: Jerome Hines, Papageno: Theodor Uppman, Papagena: Laurel Hurley, Monostatos: Paul Franke,
