Answer 2

G'day Croftyisalegend,

Thank you for your question.

According to the IMDB, the track is:

"Duettino - Sull'aria"
from opera "Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)"
Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte (uncredited)
Performed by Edith Mathis and Gundula Janowitz (uncredited)
Chor und Orchester der Deutschen Oper Berlin
Conducted by Karl Böhm

Music has a special place in the Shawshank Redemption. Andy is thus Red's redeemer (in the religious sense of the word) because he saves Red from the sad end that Brooks met. In a discussion with Red, Andy links music and hope in a better life:

"You need music so you don't forget...that there are places in the world that aren't made out of stone. That...there's something inside that they can't get to, that they can't touch, that's yours."
As long as the inmates can remember what it is like to be free, and to feel the world on their own terms, they have hope. If someone is in the prison too long, like Brooks, the knowledge of freedom is lost, and a sort of dependence on the walls is formed that leads to Brooks' tragic end. Red initially resists Andy's admonitions and testimony in the power of hope, but by the end of the film he is convinced. The last line has Red confessing, "I hope," and the film (but not the novella) shows that his hope was well-founded because he finally rejoins his "redeemer" in paradise. The Shawshank Redemption together with the Godfather are the only films to have a rating of more than 9.0 on IMDb.

The Marriage of Figaro is a well-known opera being the sixth-most performed opera in North America.

I have attached sources for your reference.
