In 1946, the legendary producer Walter Legge went to Vienna for what turned out to be a momentous meeting with Herbert von Karajan. It led to many treasurable recordings, among them this version of of Die Zauberflöte, made in 1950. With a cast including such singers as Irmgard Seefried, Sena Jurinac, Anton Dermota and Erich Kunz, it evokes a golden era for Mozart in Vienna.
