I think imma keep Beecham‘s Serail, I mean Simoneau is Beautiful here…
probably my favorite belmonte — and Beecham has a Great Sense for
phrasing…
Idomeneo: *Gardiner (Archiv), Harnoncourt (Warner)
Serail: *Beecham (EMI), Böhm (DG), Fricsay (DG)
Yeah wait… I don’t need Böhm‘s Serail — Screw this
nozze: *Fricsay (DG), Suitner (Berlin Classics)
DG: Fricsay (DG), *Klemperer (Warner)
cosi: *Böhm (Decca, Warner), Östman (Decca)
Zauberflöte: Bergman (Arthaus), *Fricsay (DG), Sawallisch (Warner) (and
Klemperer (Warner) for some Special Moments)
And I also don’t need Sawallisch‘s Zauberflöte…
*top choices

Almost feels like a Final Update — unless some really good new Mozart
Opera recordings are made…

Idomeneo: *Gardiner (Archiv), Harnoncourt (Warner)
Serail: *Beecham (EMI), Fricsay (DG)
nozze: *Fricsay (DG), Suitner (Berlin Classics)
DG: Fricsay (DG), *Klemperer (Warner)
cosi: *Böhm (Decca, Warner), Östman (Decca)
Zauberflöte: Bergman (Arthaus), *Fricsay (DG) (and
Klemperer (Warner) for some Special Moments)

*top choices

Will probably reevaluate Fricsay‘s DG - but ya this seems quite good
tbh… Seems to fit the Bill…

Yeah I need Fricsay‘s DG…

Btw Richard Lewis is awfully dry

and I also don’t like Anthony Rolfe-Johnson… Werner Hollweg I like best
as Idomeneo - also in fuor del mar, contrary to what i said earlier,
it’s just that I don’t Like Rolfe-Johnson — still I like the choir more
than in Harnoncourt‘s rec, so Gardiner‘s is still my fav…

Update:

Idomeneo: *Gardiner (Archiv), Harnoncourt (Warner)
Serail: *Beecham (EMI), Fricsay (DG)
nozze: *Fricsay (DG), Suitner (Berlin Classics)
DG: Fricsay (DG), *Klemperer (Warner)
cosi: *Böhm (Decca, Warner), Östman (Decca)
Zauberflöte: Bergman (Arthaus), *Fricsay (DG) (and Klemperer (Warner)
for some Special Moments)

This looks quite nice I think

Ah damn it… Rolfe-Johnson is still the best idomeneo… also best fuor del
mar… can’t listen to hollweg in fuor del mar honestly (but he seemed to
be second best…)… and na, it seems I don’t like him too much, at least I
like Rolfe-Johnson much more… so no need for Harnoncourt‘s Idomeneo…
