Description

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The marriage Of Figaro

Carlo Maria Giulini

Columbia SAX 2381/2384 (blue/silver label) 4 LP Box Set

Columbia SAX 2381-2384 Mozart The Marriage of Figaro Philharmonia Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini.

The opera was the first of three collaborations between Mozart and Da Ponte; their later collaborations were Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. It was Mozart who originally selected Beaumarchais's play and brought it to Da Ponte, who turned it into a libretto in six weeks, rewriting it in poetic Italian and removing all of the original's political references. In particular, Da Ponte replaced Figaro's climactic speech against inherited nobility with an equally angry aria against unfaithful wives.Contrary to the popular myth, the libretto was approved by the Emperor, Joseph II, before any music was written by Mozart.
