These two works represent the alpha and omega of Mozart. With these performances of Die Entführung aus dem Serail (1782), probably the composer's first absolute masterpiece, and Die Zauberflöte (1791 - the year of his death), René Jacobs penetrates to the heart of Mozartian singspiel. Featuring singers, a chorus and an orchestra ideally suited to the works, these two complete recordings are now among the benchmarks of the discography.
