Das Labyrinth (2013)/ Peter von Winter

Operavoorstelling, opgenomen in 2012 in het Residenzhof tijdens het Salzburg Festival.\n\nWorld Premiere recording! We all know Mozarts Die Zauberflöte to the libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder (17511812). It is not widely known that Schikaneder wrote a sequel, which his friend Peter von Winter (17541825) set to music. In 2012, the Salzburg Festival presented this operatic rarity in the form of a glittering fairy-tale opera full of magical events. The production by young director Alexandra Liedtke features a number of star soloists with Christof Fischesser as Sarastro and Malin Hartelius and Michael Schade as the lovers Pamina and Tamino. Ivor Bolton conducts his Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra energetically, smoothly and elegantly, bringing out the best in Peter von Winters charming score with its cleverly interwoven allusions to Mozart. His compositions partly marked the transition between Mozart and Von Weber. (bron: Arthaus) \n\n"Winters score is perfectly well-crafted, often charming and occasionally rousing. Thomas Tatzl and Regula Mühlemann are delightful as Papageno and Papagena." (Opera mag.)
