Mozart: "Ruhe sanft, mein holdes Leben" from Zaide K344

  1. From the beginning, I was distracted by the conductor's furball on his chin! Anyway, this is Mozart's unfinished opera with strong comparisons to one of Voltaire's plays. I need a little more info Jim on where to place the song in the opera. If I spoke German then it would not be an issue. I am assuming that this is the soprano Zaide. The piece that she is singing so beautifully is perhaps the most noted song from the demi-opera. The instruments are very similar in kind to a piece in the archive. Remember when I mentioned Native American peace pipes? Furball does a good job nevertheless conducting this small orchestra and the singer is remarkable.
