Le nozze di Figaro 1994 (4)

The Marriage of Figaro is a continuation of the plot of The Barber of Seville several years later, and recounts a single "day of madness" in the palace of the Count Almaviva near Seville, Spain. Rosina is now the Countess; Dr. Bartolo is seeking revenge against Figaro for thwarting his plans to marry Rosina himself; and Count Almaviva has degenerated from the romantic youth of Barber into a scheming, bullying, skirt-chasing baritone. This follows the Count trying to obtain favours from Susanna, Figaro's bride to be, under the nose of the Countess.

Farewell Concert at Salzburg Festival [Bernard Haitink & Vienna Philharmonic] N/A

No more Bruckner under Haitink, thats a cut in the history of interpretation Wiener Zeitung To end his active conducting career after 65 years, maestro Bernard Haitink together with the Vienna Philharmonic gives a farewell concert at the Großes Festspielhaus at Salzburg Festival, leaving no doubt of being one of the best Bruckner interpreters ever. The Dutch conductor, who was appointed honorary member of the Vienna Philharmonic shortly before the concert, is joined by star pianist Emanuel Ax in Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4: a musical interaction of a depth of sentiment and an agreement in making music together that sounds wonderfully natural (Salzburger Nachrichten). The concert ends with Bruckner's monumental Symphony No. 7 with its famous second movement, which marked the composer's breakthrough and remains one of his most popular symphonies.
