Carl Maria von Weber's Der Freischutz
Weber's Der Freischutz, performed by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras and starring tenor Jonas Kaufmann and soprano Hillevi Martinpelto.
A rare chance to hear Weber's Der Freisch眉tz, widely considered one of the first masterpieces in German Romantic opera. An immediate success, the opera premiered in Berlin in 1821 and was soon performed regularly throughout Europe and beyond.
The plot revolves around the forester-hero, Max (tenor Jonas Kaufmann), once an excellent marksman but who has seemingly lost his touch. How far will he go to win the hand of his beloved Agathe (soprano Hillevi Martinpelto)?
Sir Charles Mackerras conducts the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Philharmonia Chorus.
First broadcast and recorded in 2004 from the Edinburgh International Festival.
Presented by Christopher Cook.
