Hello!

I'm searching a good record of Mozart's Zauberflote.

Any suggestions?

Hi onion,

in each case you have to hear Böhm's Zauberflöte wich in my humble opinion contains the best male voices I ever heard in this opus. The female voices are not bat at all but there are others which are more impressive.

If you look into usenet forums you find from 10 threads 12 opinions and recommendations, so in each case it will be necessary for you to determine which recording fits your needs.

Let us know if you found you decision.

Good luck,

Markus.

Hey!

Fricsay "Zauberflote" with Fischer-Diskau and Rita Streich is great (but mono, its from about 1950).

Hi onion,

My version of 'Die Zauberflöte' is by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Sir Charles Mackerras.
It has been released years ago by Telarc.

I also share Markus's opinion on the Böhm recording and actually wait for a re-release on SACD.

Kind regards.

Good evening!

I didn't have the time to check the records today, so I'll do tomorrow.

I'll listen to:
- Bohm
- Fricsay
- Mackerras

Maybe I find another good one.

So long

Hello,

I just wanted to take a walk to my local store.
So I'll add Harnocourt (1988) to my list.

Thanks.

Hello!

I've listened to the 4 versions you told me and one by Karajan.

After checking some tracks in all 5, I decided to take two versions: Bohm and Fricsay.

Next saturday will be mozart-day, I'm gone listen to both versions in full length

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

yesterday, I've listened to the two versions.
Bohm is great!
I would say Fricsay isn't worth the money if there wouldn't be Rita Streich as Konigin der Nacht, she giving a really great perfomance (Fischer-Diskau sings papageno in both versions: great (of course), but the stereo version sounds better).

Hey!

Yeah, I love the fricsay recording, the only prob is that its mono.
But thats not a big prob!
