The Magic Flute: Daniel Behle and Marlis Petersen (Harmonia Mundi)
With an eye for innovation René Jacobs offers an entertaining, colourful take on Mozart’s much-loved opera.
With a young cast who clearly enjoy every moment of the recording (which comes with a lavish booklet), Jacobs explores the work from a decidedly “fun” point of view.
There are magnificent performances and Daniel Schmutzhard’s Papageno is a lively joy.
The Magic Flute: Daniel Behle and Marlis Petersen RIAS Kammerchor, Akademie Fur Alt Musik Berlin. Conducted by RenE Jacobs (Harmonia Mundi)
