Under the direction of Frieder Bernius, the Chamber Choir and the Hofkapelle Stuttgart as well as excellent soloists such as Sarah Wegener and Philipp Mathmann (both soprano) bring this opera rarity, which is absolutely worth discovering, back to life and emphatically demonstrate its special musical quality.
After 200 years, a composer who, as a successful opera composer of the Romantic period, is still unjustly overshadowed by Carl Maria von Weber, and even by the actually failed opera composers Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann, is once again brought to life.
Frieder Bernius with his Hofkapelle Stuttgart and the Stuttgarter Kammerchor introduce the music to us on this dazzling new recording.
