About "The Marriage of Figaro, K. 492: Overture" by David Parry
The Marriage of Figaro overture races with conspiratorial energy, strings tiptoeing and bursting in playful bursts. Parry captures the opera's farcical heartbeat, a whirlwind of schemes and whispered asides. The music smiles, but its frantic momentum suggests chaos barely held at bay.
