This is the first book by an experienced conductor to explore the orchestra’s contribution to Mozart’s greatest operatic works: Idomeneo, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Die Schauspieldirektor, Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, La clemenza di Tito, and Die Zauberflöte. It is written for the concert and opera going public who are interested in enlarging their knowledge and appreciation of these masterpieces, but also contains many practical suggestions for aspiring conductors.
"There is plenty that the professional musician can learn from Myer Fredman and many an interesting fact or comment which can be appreciated by layman and professional alike. It is a pleasure to welcome this excellent addition to the literature about these towering masterpieces." -- From the Foreword by Sir Charles Mackerras. "Fredman's hands-on experience conducting the Mozart operas is reflected in many a passing titbit of professional wisdom or practical advice." -- Opera Quarterly.
