Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Mozart 22: Complete Box (33 DVDs)

Synopsis MOZART - LA CLEMENZA DI TITO "Interpreten" Tito - Michael Schade Sesto - Vesselina Kasarova Vitellia - Dorothea Röschmann Annio - Elina Garanca servilia - Barbara Bonney Publio - Luca Pisaroni Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor Wiener Philharmoniker Leitung: Nikolaus Harnoncourt "Aufnahme" Mit der Festspielaufführung 2003 kehrte "La Clemenza di Tito" in die Salzburger Felsenreitschule zurück, wobei der österreichische Regisseur Martin Kusej die vorgegebene Architektur nicht als stilistische Fessel begriff - sondern vielmehr als Herausforderung, Mozarts Oper auf archetypische Grundmuster zurückzuführen, sie zugleich aber auch als hochaktuelles, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes zeitloses politisches und menschliches Machtspiel zu zeigen. Nikolaus Harnoncourt identifiziert sich mit Mozarts Partitur - nicht nur als wissender Musiker, sondern auch als dramatischer Mitgestalter. Mit den Wiener Philharmonikern kostet er die Wunder dieses Mozart'schen Spätwerks, seine instrumentalen Farben und Wirkungen voll aus. Laufzeit: 160 Minuten MOZART - DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE "Interpreters" Papageno - Christian Gerhaher Pamina - Genia Kühmeier Tamino - Paul Groves Queen Of The Night - Diana Damrau Sarastro - René Pape Papagena - Irena Bespalovaite Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Philharmoniker Conductor: Riccardo Muti "Die Zauberflöte" Part of the epoch-making release of Mozart's complete operas on DVD, Pierre Audi's production of this blithe fable suggests an operatic Garden of Eden, enhanced by the primary-coloured, storybook desighns of Karel Appel. The tale of two young men undergoing a rite of passage to win their perfect spouse inspired Mozart's most tuneful yet sublime score - superbly brought to life by Riccardo Muti and a distinguished cast of international soloists. Laufzeit: 176 Minuten MOZART - COSI FAN TUTTE "Interpreters" Fiordigli - Ana Maria Martinez Dorabella - Sophie Koch Guglielmo - Stephane Degout Ferrando - Shawn Mathey Despina - Helen Donath Don Alfonso - Sir Thomas Allen Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor Wiener Philharmoniker Conductor: Manfred Honeck Part of the epoch-making release of Mozart's complete operas on DVD, "Cosi fan tutte" is the once scandalous "School for Lovers", whose surpassingly beautiful score only rescued the opera's fortunes in the last half century. The young Ferrando and Guglielmo bet their avuncular but synical friend Don Alfonso that their respective fiancées Dorabella and Fiordiligi will always be faithful. But Alfonso's ingenious game is to prove otherwiese. Ursel and Karl-Ernst Herrmann's production adds an extra dimension, as the ladies overhear the plotting and so enter the drama with their eyes fully open. But the result only demonstrates that love is an eternal but also an eternally dangerous game. Laufzeit: 182 Minuten MOZART - LE NOZZE DI FIGARO Laufzeit: 202 Minuten MOZART - DON GIOVANNI "Interpreten" Don Giovanni - Thomas Hampson Leporello - Ildebrando D. Arcangelo Commendatore - Robert Lloyd Donna Anna - Christine Schäfer Don Ottavio - Piotr Beczala Donna Elvira - Melanie Diener Zerlina - Isabel Bayrakdarian Masetto - Luca Pisaroni "Musik" Mozarteum Orchester Salzburg Wiener Philharmoniker Conductor: Daniel Harding "Regie" Karina Fibich Part of the epoch-making release of Mozart's complete operas on DVD, Martin Kusej's production presents Mozart's greatest and darkest drama as a twentieth-century morality tale, set in a world where images of female sexuality constantly surround us. Far from the traditional romantic lothario, "we despire Don Giovanni" for his cynical denial of the feeling of his fellow human beings, and welcome his demise at the hands of his alter ego, Leporello. The great American baritone Thomas Hampson takes the title role, heading a distinguished cast of international soloists.

"Claus Guth's production unites the two disparate worlds as though they had always been one
