Album Notes & Community Reviews
Highlighting the mystical and Masonic symbolism embedded within the score, this early studio iteration of 'The Magic Flute' captures tremendous vocal dexterity. The crystalline orchestral transparency beautifully supports the dizzying coloratura flights and solemn chorales.
