Contents: A new Karajan experience! 30 of Karajan's masterpieces are now available on UHQCD for the first time! Karajan's first digital recording was Parsifal, but this Magic Flute was released first, so it was heavily advertised as "Karajan's first digital recording" at the time of its release. It was also a topic of discussion because it was Karajan's first re-recording in 30 years. Karin Ott, who played the Queen of the Night, was a newcomer at the time but was selected for this recording. (??Lyrics translation is not included.) Mozart: The Magic Flute Sarastro...
