Otmar Suitner - Mozart: Die Zauberflöte (1970) [2021 3xSACD The Valued Collection Platinum]

The world's first SACD of the masterpiece by Suitner and Dresden Staatskapelle. It is an eternal masterpiece by the ideal singers such as Suitner, who is good at Mozart, and Schreier, Adam, and Gesti. DSD mastering was performed directly from the original analog master of German Eurodisc.

Mozart by this combination is "Late Symphony Collection (Nos. 28-36, 38-41) All 13 songs" recorded in 1960-75 (on sale at Berlin Classics' SACD reprint project (0301396BC)), "Aine Kleine Nachtmusik, Serenata Notturna, Musical Jokes, Overture Collection, etc." (on sale under the same project 0301617BC) and "The Marriage of Figaro" in German, etc. All of them are highly regarded as one of the best performances among Mozart recordings. Among them, this "Magic Flute" has been supported as an authentic performance that straightly depicts the image of the work. A stable singing team including "Tamino" by young Schreier and the role of "Queen of the Night" by Gesty, who boasts outstanding accuracy, and the orchestra's highly textured and attractive sound, and a light yet sincere approach lead the whole. The excellent recording by Switner's conducting and Struben, one of the best engineers in the former East Germany, is also noteworthy.
