Review by Claudia Maccioni

Album Review: The Magic Flute Highlights by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Alright, let’s dive into this gem of an album—The Magic Flute Highlights by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This one’s performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Karl Böhm, and it’s got all the hallmarks of classical greatness but with a vibe that feels surprisingly alive. Released in 1990 (yeah, I know, not exactly new), it still holds up like a champ today. The label? Deutsche Grammophon, which is kinda like the gold standard for classical music, so you know they didn’t skimp on quality here. First off, if you’re not familiar with The Magic Flute, it’s basically Mozart flexing his genius muscles while blending opera, drama, and some seriously catchy tunes. The tracks on this album are highlights from the full opera, so it’s perfect if you don’t have three hours to sit through the whole thing but still wanna soak up the magic. And trust me, there’s plenty of magic here. Now, two tracks stood out to me big time, and I gotta talk about them because they just stick in your head. First up is “Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,” aka the Queen of the Night aria. Whoa, right? If you’ve ever heard this before, you’ll know why it’s unforgettable. It’s got these insane vocal runs that feel like someone’s trying to climb Mount Everest without stopping for air. Franz Crass doesn’t sing this particular track, but whoever does nails it (shoutout to whoever that is). Honestly, every time I hear it, I’m half-convinced my dog thinks the house is haunted—it’s that intense. But in a good way! Then there’s “Pa-pa-gena! Pa-pa-geno!”—the duet that’s just pure joy bottled up in two minutes. It’s playful, quirky, and honestly sounds like something you’d hum while skipping down a sunny street. The back-and-forth between the singers is so fun, it almost feels like eavesdropping on a musical comedy sketch. You can tell everyone involved had a blast recording it, and that energy totally translates. Plus, how can you not smile at lyrics that repeat “pa-pa-gena” over and over? It’s ridiculous in the best possible way. One thing I noticed about this album is how polished yet human it feels. Like, yeah, the Berlin Philharmonic is world-class, and Karl Böhm clearly knows his stuff, but there’s none of that stiff, overly formal vibe some classical recordings fall into. Instead, it’s like hanging out with friends who happen to be ridiculously talented musicians. Even the ensemble work—shoutout to Antonia Fahberg, Raili Kostia, and Rosl Schwaiger—is tight without being cold or mechanical. I also appreciate how accessible this album makes Mozart feel. Opera can sometimes come off as intimidating or pretentious, but these highlights strip away all that baggage and let the music speak for itself. Whether it’s the bombastic overture kicking things off or the serene beauty of “In diesen heil’gen Hallen,” everything flows naturally, pulling you deeper into the story without needing a PhD in music theory. So yeah, wrapping this up… listening to The Magic Flute Highlights reminded me why Mozart’s music has stuck around for centuries. He wasn’t just writing notes; he was crafting emotions, moments, little sparks of life that hit differently depending on where you’re at when you hear them. And honestly? As much as I love modern pop and rock, there’s something wild about realizing a guy born in 1756 could make music that still feels fresh today. Makes you wonder what kind of bangers he’d drop if he had Auto-Tune, huh? Final verdict: Whether you’re a diehard classical fan or just looking for something cool to throw on during dinner, this album’s worth a spin. Just maybe warn your pets first—they might think ghosts are invading.
