Description:

Ferenc Fricsay had a uniquely deft touch with Mozart, consistently drawing a buoyant transparency from ensembles at a time when many orchestras approached the repertoire with Wagnerian weight. That clarity is on full display here. Hilde Güden charms as Susanna, while Erich Kunz lends his rich bass and crisp diction to an engaging Figaro. Paul Schöffler delivers a suavely menacing Count, and Elisabeth Grümmer brings both warmth and elegance to the role of the Countess.
