With our music PSITTAKOSE (medical term for the parrot disease) we took a look on PAPAGENO in an extreme subjective way. From our point of view it seems that the stuff is quite different to the telling of Papageno Mozart's ZAUBERFLÖTE. Something is not quite right with this Papageno, but the question is what?
