With passion and flaming seriousness, he thrilled a million audience and was above all one thing: a true service of art. The extraordinarily creative team from conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt, director Jürgen Flimm, stage artist Erich Wonder and costume artist Florence von Gerkan led all three stage pieces of Mozarts at the Zurich opera house, the composer once created with Lorenzo da Ponte. The exclusive opera collection now combines Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte and Le nozze di Figaro and keeps the artistic work of the conductor at the Zurich Opera House alive. With first-class stars of the opera scene such as Cecilia Bartoli, Rodney Gilfry, Liliana Nikiteanu and Roberto Saccà, these shots are highlights in the creation of Maestro Harnoncourt. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. He began composing minuets by the age of five and was already writing symphonies by the time he was nine, as well as being a virtuoso keyboard player and violinist. He went on to excel at every type of music in which he composed, helping to perfect the grand forms of symphony, opera, string quartet and concerto during the classical period in music. Mozart's operas in particular contain remarkable psychological insights and were central to the composer s creative life, representing the peak of his genius. In the 1780s, he wrote three unsurpassed operas with the librettist Lorenzo da Ponte that deal with love in its many forms, from the humanely comic (The Marriage of Figaro) and mythically resonant (Don Giovanni) to the elegantly cynical (Così fan tutte). All three operas are included in this box set of three Blu-ray discs featuring Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducting the Chorus and Orchestra of the Zürich Opera House in productions directed by Jürgen Flimm. Nikolaus Harnoncourt was a legend who brought music to life and made it speak, and this set has been released in memoriam of one of the greatest musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries. The first-class array of soloists includes Cecilia Bartoli (Fiordiligi in Cosi Fan Tutte and Elvira in Don Giovanni), Isabel Rey as Donna Anna, Liliana Nikiteanu (a delightful Cherubino in Figaro), Eva Mei as La Contessa, Agnes Baltsa (Despina), Carlos Chausson (Don Alfonso), and Rodney Gilfry (Count Almaviva). --New Classics, Aug'16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40941375160417,"sku":"4058407092353","price":25.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_1565768_350776.jpg?v=1722959536","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/4058407092353-nikolaus-harnoncourt-harnoncourt-dvd","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
