Description:

[Karajan Masterpieces UHQCD Vol. 2] This is the second release in Karajan's UGQCD series, which was released in March 2017 to great acclaim. Karajan's first digital recording was "Parsifal," but "The Magic Flute" was released first, and was widely advertised as "Karajan's first digital recording" at the time of its release. The fact that it was Karajan's first re-recording in 30 years was also a hot topic. Karin Ott, who played the role of the Queen of the Night, was selected for this recording even though she was a newcomer at the time. The DG120 anniversary special. Karajan Campaign 2018, celebrating the 110th anniversary of Karajan's birth and the 80th anniversary of his first recordings.
