In almost 20 years, since the release of the much-acclaimed Cosi fan tutte in 1999 (with Gens, Fink, Güra), René Jacobs has recorded the entirety of Mozart’s great operas, a feat considered as one of the most important discographical achievements of the beginning of the 20th century for its theatrical force, volcanic intensity of direction and vocal quality.
Among this renewed collection, the recording of Die Zauberflöte is most Mozartian in nature: after the discovery of a new interpretation of his Da Ponte trilogy and a profoundly reimagined approach to two other opera serias (Idomeneo and La Clémence de Titus), Jacobs works to sensitively combine an array of perspectives in The Magic Flute, going well beyond the Masonic elements and integrating a range of theatrical genres.
This sometimes rather sombre work contains a rather welcome light to it! Anna-Kristiina Kaappola’s “Queen of the night” is beautiful although less virtuoso than the former Cristina Deutekom’s rendition or the radiant “double” Pamina/Papageno by Marlis Petersn and Daniel Schmutzhard. © Qobuz
“[…] Jacobs wanted a stripped down Flute, one that is de-romanticised […] and here, he works in a disc-oriented, hyper-theatrical mindset. The work displays an energy capable of charming a traditional Viennese audience (the work was created in Vienna’s Theater auf der Wieden) without losing any of its philosophical and Masonic airs […]. The interpretation includes a subtle study of dialogues: how to move from song to spoken word (the scenes with the Ladies of the Night are particularly revelatory), how to weave them into the music with the help of a loquacious and blunt pianoforte […] A masterfully captivating work in which multiple listens are required to extract all its riches […] (Diapason, novembre 2010/Michel Parouty)
