Atque In Perpetuum, Ingmar

The great filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, among the greatest directors in the history of the artform, is dead at 89. Of especial note for us classical music aficionados was his cinematic treatment of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, a unique achievement in that it remains true to Mozart at every point, and at the same time is a singular work of art in its own right.

Atque in perpetuum, Ingmar. Ave atque vale.
