One of the giants of the historically informed performance world needs little introduction; nor indeed his sympathy to Mozart’s oeuvre as already demonstrated in recordings of the three da Ponte operas that have met with wide acclaim and many awards for their closely observed intimacy, their sense of fun and drama and their well-chosen casts, at one with Kuijken’s vision of these jewels of human and music drama.
His recording of Mozart’s magical last opera, however, has not received wide availability until now, in its appearance as part of Brilliant Classics’s comprehensive Opera Collection. The recording was made live at the Notre-Dame Church in Beaune, in France, in 2004. The cast is highly recognisable from many other fine productions of Baroque and early music, including Suzie LeBlanc (Pamina); Cornelius Hauptmann (Tamino); Stephan Genz (Papageno) and Isolde Siebert (Queen of Night).
Of course the orchestral contribution to this recording is no less distinguished: La Petite Bande features the cream of Continental period-instrument musicians, and is led by Kuijken himself, a violinist as much at home in Mozart’s world as he is in Bach’s.

MOHRNur stille! stille! stille! stille!
Bald dringen wir in Tempel ein.
ALLE WEIBER
Nur stille! stille! stille! stille!
Bald dringen wir in Tempel ein.
MOHR
Doch, Fürstinn, halte Wort! - Erfülle -
Dein Kind muss meine Gattinn seyn.
KÖNIGINN
Ich halte Wort; es ist mein Wille.
ALLE WEIBER
Mein / Ihr Kind soll deine Gattin seyn.
Man hört dumpfen Donner, Geräusch von Wasser.
MOHR
Doch still, ich höre schrecklich rauschen,
Wie Donnerton und Wasserfall.
KÖNIGINN, DAMEN
Ja, fürchterlich ist dieses Rauschen,
Wie fernen Donners Wiederhall.
MOHR
Nun sind sie in des Tempels Hallen:
ALLE
Dort wollen wir sie überfallen, -
Die Frömmler tilgen von der Erd
Mit Feuersgluth und mächt'gem Schwert.
Dir, grosse Königinn der Nacht,
Sey unsrer Rache Opfer gebracht.
Man hört den stärksten Accord, Donner, Blitz, Sturm. Sogleich verwandelt sich das ganze Theater in eine Sonne. Sarastro steht erhöht; Tamino, Pamina, beyde in priesterlicher Kleidung. Neben ihnen die ägyptischen Priester auf beyden Seiten. Die drey Knaben halten Blumen.
MOHR, KÖNIGINN
Zerschmettert, zernichtet ist unsere Macht,
Wir alle gestürzet in ewige Nacht.
sie versinken
English Libretto or Translation:
MONOSTATOSJust keep quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet!
Soon we shall be making our way into the temple.
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, THE THREE LADIES
Just keep quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet!
Soon we shall be making our way into the temple.
MONOSTATOS
But, Sovereign Lady, keep your word! Fulfil ...
Your daughter must be my wife.
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
I'll keep my word! It is my will.
My daughter shall be your wife.
THE THREE LADIES
Her child shall be your wife.
MONOSTATOS
Quiet though! I hear a terrible roaring,
like the sound of thunder and a waterfall.
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, THE THREE LADIES
Yes, this roaring is terrible,
like the echo of distant thunder.
MONOSTATOS
Now they are in the temple halls,
ALL
There let us surprise them,
wipe the bigots from the face of the earth
with burning fire and strong sword.
THE THREE LADIES, MONOSTATOS
To you, great Queen of the Night,
we make our offering of vengeance!
thunder, lightning, tempest
ALL
Our strength is shattered, destroyed,
we are all plunged into eternal night!
They disappear.
Scene change. Temple of the Sun.
Sarastro, Tamino and Pamina in priestly apparel, the priests and the three boys appear.
