Schauspieldirektor

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Kenneth Montgomery, ...

Erato, 1996

Staggeringly Beautiful
I've no doubt that Sumi Jo is the most talented, technically polished coloratura soprano of our time. Her trills, runs, sustained pieces, and ornaments of various nature, are most likely what Mozart heard in his head when composing the arias... Absolute perfection. ...

Mozart: Eine kleine Nachtmusik + Overtures K 486 588 492 620 477 (CBS Great Performances)

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Bruno Walter, ...

Sony, 1990

The radiant light after the shadows!
Bruno Walter was a remarkable conductor of Mahler. This brief introduction is important to remark because, every time Walter conducted Mozart, it can be felt how the elements of candor, charm, presence and warmth of the Austrian surrounding is felt far beyond the ...

Mozart: The Impresario/ Mozart's Circle: The Beneficent Dervish

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, John Aler, ...

Telarc, 2002

Excellent music, Excellent Performance
I like "The Impresario" but what impressed me the most is "The Beneficent Dervish". It has the touch of Mozart, maybe a little too similar to "Abduction from the Seraglio", but... it is concise,rich and colorful, with lots of Turkish "Janissary" music scattered all ...

25 More Mozart Favorites

W.a. Mozart

Vox (Classical), 2002

Great for Mozart Lovers
This is the only Mozart CD I have (and I have many) that has a recording of The 12 Variations; what most of us know as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and the alphabet song. While the melody may seem elementary (no pun intended), the variations bring it to life in a way ...

Mozart: Der Schauspieldirektor [Germany]

Mozart, Pritchard, ...

Decca Classics, 2005

Very good coloratura singing!
I highly recommend this recording, mostly for the high (f''', at least 3 of them!) notes of Miss Gruberova. Te Kanawa is also quite good. However, as a "Sutherland fan", I must recommend that you search online (I do not remember which website I found it on) for Dame ...

Mozart: Overtures

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Joyous Mozart
I bought this cd in 1982 when it was first released at a much higher price. It quickly became one of the family's favorite recordings. It's Mozart at his most social and a mature and self-assured Sir Neville giving an energetic and upbeat interpretation of these ...

Empire Brass: Greatest Hits

Frank Vignola, James Singleton, ...

Telarc, 1997

Empire Brass-Greatest Hits
This is one of the best CD's I own. Oustanding muscianship, expression and interesting repertoire. A must buy.

Mozart: 11 Overtures

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Hans Vonk

Delta, 1995

Required Mozart
This CD has been around for at least 15 years, possibly longer. It is one of the best compilation of Mozart overtures available. Hans Vonk, who died not too long ago, was an outstanding Mozart conductor. The Dresden Statskapelle is one of the world's greatest ...

Mozart: Overtures

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ...

Angel Records, 1990

Brilliant elegant performances by Marriner and ASMF
I've had this disc for about 15 years now, but haven't listened to it in many moons. I've heard several other versions of these Mozart overtures, but none that I enjoy like this particular one with the ASMF conducted by Sir Neville Marriner. I think the sound quality ...

Mozart Overtures

Elektra / Wea, 1994

Mozart: Zaide / Mathis, Schreier, Wixell, Hollweg, Süß, Ude - Der Schauspieldirektor / Grant, Rolfe Johnson, ...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sir Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 1991

Zaide
Even though it was found many years after Mozart died, the astonishing beauty of this work of art is ovious. The perfect choice of notes is such as only Mozart could have made it, and Zaide is something that has been left to us from this very wonderful composer.
