audio only, two versions presented here, with a few pictures (first picture is of Kipnis as Sarastro, the other pic of him in costume is as Amfortas) This upload of the Mozart has a cleaner transfer of the 1929 recording than my other upload of it (that upload also has another version recorded 3 years later), and I included in this upload the live 1937 version for you completists.First version here from recording 15th Feb. 1929, Columbia 04336 (matrix 98631-2)Robin Hood Bowers, conductor. Originally issued in Australia only.second is a live recording from the 1937 Salzburg Festival with the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Arturo Toscanini. recorded July 30, 1937 by Ravag on Selenophon 8mm film.go here to see Kurt Moll sing this aria:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffs4Kd...Kipnis, like most of the great singers who worked with Toscanini, very much admired his conducting in general--but Kipnis did not like Toscanini's way with 'The Magic Flute'. Kipnis felt that Toscanini's tempi were wrong some of the time. In diesen heil¹gen Hallen - Sarastro's aria from Die Zauberflöte In diesen heil'gen Hallen Kennt man die Rache nicht. Und ist ein Mensch gefallen, Führt Liebe ihn zur Pflicht. Dann wandelt er an Freundes Hand Vergnügt und froh ins bess're Land. In diesen heil'gen Mauern, Wo Mensch den Menschen liebt, Kann kein Verräter lauern, Weil man dem Feind vergibt. Wen solche Lehren nicht erfreun, Verdient nicht ein Mensch zu sein.Within these hallowed hallsOne knows not revenge.And should a person have fallen,Love will guide him to duty.Then wanders he on the hand of a friendCheerful and happy into a better land.Within these hallowed walls,Where human loves the human,No traitor can lurk,Because one forgives the enemy.Whomever these lessons do not please,Deserves not to be a human being.literal translation by Lea F. FreyThe Magic Flute (La Flûte enchantée), by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - "in Diesen Heil'gen Hallen"Sie erlaubte dem Sänger stets das notwendige Ebenmaß zu finden und die vie eine Orgel dröhnenede Klangpracht seinges schwarzen Basses nach Belieben mittechnischer Vollkommenheit einzusetzen.
