Title: Good conducting, mediocre singing, poor sound, look elsewhere.
Review: This recording is a well conducted performance in mediocre sound; it was a live performance broadcast from Salzburg on July 27, 1949. Furtwangler brings little or none of the magic of his Beethoven to the Mozart. Most of the singing is undistinguished. The better singers (Lipp and Seefried) can be heard elsewhere to better effect.If you want every Furtwangler recording, this is one. There is another Furtwangler Flute on EMI. I have not heard it, but with Dermota and Kunz in the male roles, and the same women in the female roles, it should be head and shoulders above this performance.
