Engel Der Nacht

This Nena compilation cd album is one which I have waited for a very, very long time and I am very happy to know that it is now available. Perhaps my only criticism of the tracks included in this album is that the club mix of "99 Red Balloons" is already very available in the album 99 LUFTBALLONS/FIRST AMERICA/INTERNATIONAL and that the maxi versions of the songs "Gestern Nacht" and "Du kennst die Liebe nicht" could have been included in the tracklist. I am personally very grateful to Sony Music Germany for taking my advice and removing the maxi version of "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" and the song "Ein Brief" from the original tracklist, since they are both very available in the Nena cd album FEUER UND FLAMME. I encourage all Nena fans to purchase this extremely valuable cd album, because it provides in a single cd album numerous Nena songs and song versions which have never before been available in any cd album.

From fairy tale to great opera: With Die Zauberflöte Mozart made the step from simple Singspiel to a full-blown German opera, thus laying the foundations for an independent opera culture in the German language. The 1973 Electrola recording combines a truly legendary vocal ensemble, featuring first and foremost Edda Moser, whom many people still regard as the best Queen of the Night of all time, Walter Berry as a Papageno oozing Viennese charm, Anneliese Rothenberger as the enchanting Pamina and Peter Schreier as her loving Tamino.
