“René Jacobs’s Mozart opera series [is] one of the recorded marvels of our time” James Jolly, Gramophone, February 2009

We are proud to introduce our biggest priority release for the Autumn: Die Zauberflöte conducted by René Jacobs.

This eagerly anticipated recording represents a major triumph for harmonia mundi and we will be giving it our full marketing support to ensure the album achieves the major success we believe it deserves.

Here are some reminders of Jacobs’ achievements to date: from Gramophone Recording of the Year to the Grammy® Awards, Jacobs’ world-renowned Mozart opera recordings been celebrated by the most prestigious award organisations across the globe. A distinguished expert in the field, René Jacobs’ previous opera recordings have enjoyed a sales history of over 65,000 physical units per title.

Die Zauberflöte will benefit from a diverse online marketing campaign, including a multi-lingual ‘magic flute discovery’ newsletter series and dedicated marketing blog reaching an audience of over 30,000 people.

Enjoy one of the few full studio recordings made of such a popular opera in recent history.

This recording represents the peak of René Jacobs’s Mozartian enterprise: after showing us an alternative way of looking at the Da Ponte trilogy and taking a profoundly innovative approach to the two great opere serie (Idomeneo and La clemenza di Tito), he has now sets out to harmonise and clarify the myriad viewpoints exposed in Die Zauberflöte, ranging far beyond its Masonic rituals and mixture of dramatic genres.

As a result, Mozart’s most ‘nocturnal’ work is illuminated as if by . . . magic.
