Description:

Jakobs' great masterpieces, Kidnapping from the Late Palace and The Magic Flute, are now available in a box!!! Abduction from the Hermitage" ~~ Jacobs' "Abduction from the Hermitage" was recorded in 2014. From the fast overture, with its lively percussion, the performance is a painful ride that pulls you into a world reminiscent of Turkey. The Vienna premiere of "Abduction from the Hermitage" in 1782 was an unprecedented success with audiences and critics alike. The music, with its emphasis on exoticism, its celebration of Enlightenment ideals, and a plot that ran counter to the prejudices against the Ottoman Empire of the time, hit the spot for the people of the time. The opera is a Zingspiel (song play), which means that there is no recitative, but only arias and dialogues. Today, many parts of the lines are cut from the performance, but this recording contains the full version, with some revisions. In addition, the dialogues are inserted even in the middle of arias, and there are many other devices to make it easy for the listener to imagine the scenes and the characters' feelings as a music drama for the ears.Furthermore, based on various sources, Jacobs believes that Mozart played the fortepiano himself to enliven the scene during the lines, and that he improvised or quoted from his own keyboard music to provide a good bridge to the next aria. In this recording, the fortepiano player is asked to play a small piece of music in some of the lines, and in some of the arias, he is asked to play something that goes beyond the framework of the bass aria. These small touches create a natural flow between the lines and arias, bringing the opera back to life in a more realistic way. The singing team includes soprano Robin Johansen, who appeared at Bayreuth and attracted attention with her world premiere CD of arias by Caldara (conducted by Marcon), tenor Maximilian Schmidt, who has already released numerous CDs of arias from Baroque to Romantic music and made his debut at the Salzburg Festival in 2015, and tenor The seasoned lineup includes tenor Maximilian Schmidt, who has already released numerous CDs of arias from Baroque to Romantic music, and made his Salzburg Festival debut in 2015! The Magic Flute" - "The Magic Flute" was recorded in 2009. This performance is a carefully considered performance of both the dialogue and the music, and brings out the full fun of the sung play. Daniel Behle, who plays Tamino, is from Hamburg and was just making his debut when the recording was made, but is now a very active tenor. Petersen is a soprano of considerable stature. This is a masterpiece that marks a new history in the recording of "The Magic Flute". King International
