Recording & Production
This recording of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" is the only complete version conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler, a renowned conductor.
Recording & Production
The Overture to "Le Nozze di Figaro" included as a bonus track was recorded by Wilhelm Furtwängler in 1933 for Polydor, three years after he first conducted the opera in Berlin.
Interpretation
Conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler's approach to "Le Nozze di Figaro" is characterized by spacious, airy tempos, often slightly slower than traditional, to enhance the music and drama.
Performer Biography
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, a celebrated soprano, is radiant in her performance on this album after a challenging start in the aria 'Porgi amor'.
Interpretation
This 1953 recording of "Le Nozze di Figaro" uses a German translation of the opera rather than the original Italian.
Interpretation
Conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler made standard cuts in "Figaro," omitting the last-act arias for Marcellina and Basilio.
