Background: Idomeneo has never been popular sadly as it contains beautiful music wonderfully scored. The four main characters are not cardboard; they suffer they develop. Alfred Einstein felt this to be 'one of those works that even a genius of the highest rank like Mozart could write only once in his life.' It is not unreasonable to claim that the cast and conductor at Glyndebourne in 1951 equalled or surpassed any since Mozart's time. The original tape was in good sound; everything that has survived is included.
