About This Item
These two works represent the alpha and omega of Mozart. With these performances of Die Entführung aus dem Serail (1782), probably the composer's first absolute masterpiece, and Die Zauberflöte (1791 - the year of his death), René Jacobs penetrates to the heart of Mozartian singspiel. Featuring singers, a chorus and an orchestra ideally suited to the works, these two complete recordings are now among the benchmarks of the discography. Album Tracks 1.
