… and as close as I will come to the opera for the time being. Sadly we should have been in rehearsals for this right now.
Bravo to these fine musicians, though!
W. A. Mozart: “Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen” from The Magic Flute
Denis Bourakov, flute; Eugene Izotov, oboe
A brilliant 3 minute extract from an opera 50 times longer than that. Not that it could ever replace ‘real’ Mozart, but it might be fun to put together a compilation of these aria arrangements into the whole opera. Kinda like the wind octet reductions that were popular back in the day…
