Sull' aria

From "Le Nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of Figaro) conducted by Georg Solti at Paris Opera Garnier in 1980. Lucia Popp & Gundula Janowitz :



Some may recognize this musical piece from my favorite scene in "The Shawshank Redemption", when Andy locked a guard in the bathroom and pulled a record out ("Le Nozze di Figaro") and played it over the PA for the entire prison. The music is to me a little peice of heaven.
