Die Entführung aus dem Serail (1782)
Christopher Hogwood, The Academy of Ancient Music
(Period Instruments)
Decca L'Oiseau Lyre 430 339-2 (1991)
(I know René Jacobs has a new release of this Opera but this version is still my favorite. Both versions however, restore the "too many notes" cut at the request of the Emperor. Jacobs recorded the entire dialogue while Hogwood uses an abridged version. Jacobs uses the M Haydn Turkish march of 1795.)
