The Marriage of Figaro: Overture by W. A. Mozart
missing flute parts and oboe parts
This libretto, a comedy, is a little complex- but I still found it to be appealing. There are many twists and turns to it and, for a modern reader, it offers a glimpse into the aristocratic intrigues that revolved around the heights of the time that this was composed. I read an edition that had the original Italian libretto next to it, so it was also useful in teaching me a few Italian words at the same time.
Worth it! 3.5 stars.
Worth it! 3.5 stars.
CD and accompanying book. Excellent performance, plus an informative short book with archive illustrations of famous performances/performers.
