The Bergman Magic Flute is extraordinary, especially as the voices are (with one exception) not of international quality.

Mozart most definitely does not suck. And Lebrecht is wrong. Mozart’s operas in particular stretch the form far beyond what had come before. As do the later piano concerti, much of the chamber music, and the last 4 symphonies. And he died before he was 40.
