Mozart's beloved masterpiece \"The Magic Flute,\" with its libretto written by Emanuel Schikaneder, who would later also write the libretto for \"The Magic Flute.\" Premiering on September 11, 1790, Mozart was not initially listed as a composer for the opera in the imprint, unlike Schikaneder and the other three composers Frank Xaver Gerl, Benedikt Schack, and Johann Baptist Henneberg. It was only later that his name was discovered on a copy of the score for two parts of the finale and the duo 'Nun liebes Weibchen.' The numerous musical and stylistic parallels between many parts of Der Stein der Weisen and similar moments in The Magic Flute indicate that Mozart was inspired for his opera by his own ideas, as well as those of all the other participants. The Hofkapelle München and the Chor der Klangverwaltung have created a new and colorful recording of this well-known musical gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hofkapelle München","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48632021680465,"sku":"19802802922","price":20.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0581\/0559\/4006\/files\/53.jpg?v=1716371730","url":"https:\/\/store.sonymusic.es\/en\/products\/hofkapelle-munchen-2cd-s","provider":"Sony Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
