Michael Hal sz - Le Nozze Di Figaro - DVD AUDIO [DVD-Audio]

Clarinettist Bernhard Röthlisberger and pianist Benjamin Engeli return to the Musiques Suisses tag and are joined by violinist Fióna Kraege and cellist Milena Umiglia, in an album of mostly world premiere recordings. The artists write InchThe genesis of the present album is closely linked to that of the Swiss Clarinet Music album (Musiques Suisses NXMS 7002) that we recorded in the summer of 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic, as a reaction to the lockdown. Further scores had come to light in the course of researching that project, which have hitherto been largely ignored. Five of these works, by Johann Carl Eschmann, Paul Juon, Richard Flury and Paul Müller-Zürich, are brought together here. What they all have in common, regardless of the dates of composition, which span a century, is that their musical idiom is deeply rooted in Romanticism and late Romanticism.Inch

Bursting with misunderstanding, comedy and intrigue, the tale of Figaro and his fiancée Susanna as they try to evade the philandering seductions of Figaro's master the Count of Almaviva, is one of Mozart's greatest achievements. The score includes many of Mozart's best known arias and duets, including the Countess's sublime and wistful Dove sono and Cherubino's youthful and effervescent Voi che sapete. Whether you are hearing this opera for the first or the hundredth time it is easy to appreciate why, with it's blend of comic vitality and genuine poignancy, it is still one of the most frequently performed operas in the repertoire.
