Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro - Berry, Mathis, M. Price, Fischer-Dieskau, Fassbaender, Kusche, Böhm. München, 1977
$24.95
Description:
Karl Böhm once remarked that conducting Mozart kept him young, and this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro, led when he was already in his eighties, is living proof. Böhm brings a vitality and grace to Mozart’s comedy that many conductors half his age would struggle to achieve.
No doubt, he was inspired by a stellar cast of Mozartians: Walter Berry as Figaro, Edith Mathis as Susanna, Margaret Price as the Countess, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as the Count, and Brigitte Fassbaender as Cherubino. This lineup is a testament to an era when larger voices were often cast in Mozart—a practice that added depth and richness to the music. (Why has that tradition fallen out of favor?)
The sound quality is excellent.
