Free Music Review: Freischutz's best enactment
Hit: 5 Stars

Freischutz put into play by conductor Carlos Kleiber is allegedly the best recording. Along with the Dresden Staatskapelle orchestra, he managed to give a special sound to this famous and commonly played opera.

I've noticed quite a choice of Freischutz CDs on the web-market (even though opera is not at all trendy nowadays), I have listened to another enactment of this opera and also heard the opinion of a great listener of classical music (Thomas Wirz from Switzerland). So, when deciding to buy my own, I looked especially for this CD. The front cover is a little different to the original CD I held in my hands some 9 years ago, and it doesn't have a paper dust cover, but unless you are making up a CD collection, this is of no matter.

Enjoy it, and try to keep cool while the action moves to the Wolf's Glen... the storm will be over, forest spirits will go away (probably sensing upcoming century's deforestation), and Max will come out clean... with a promise get his hands on Agathe a year later... ;)

Weber: Der Freisch?tz Poster

Der Freisch?tz is one of the great milestones in the history of opera. The resounding success of its premiere in 1821 practically made it a manifesto for German Romantic opera, one that would become a significant formative influence on Wagner. Although it has its roots in the Singspiel tradition exemplified by Mozart's Die Zauberfl?te, Der Freisch?tz cut new ground with its potent mixture of supernatural elements, dreams, folk melodies, evocations of nature, and symphonic tone painting. Here, von Weber exploited his brilliant orchestral imagination--using, for example, carefully divided string tremolos and a gleaming choir of four horns--to maximum effect. This legendary recording from 1973 was Carlos Kleiber's first studio project, and the scrupulous attention he lavished on the score resulted in an interpretation that continues to sound bold, fresh, and authoritative. The Dresden Staatskapelle plays in top form, whether in tenderly sprung wind solos or in the truly spooky atmospherics of the famous Wolf's Glen scene. Peter Schreier's dark, pungent tenor is something of an acquired taste, but he gives fervent voice to the despair of hunter/protagonist Max. Gundula Janowitz sings with stirring beauty and enriches the two-dimensional character of Max's beloved Agathe with remarkable depth, revealing both her innocence and her agonized foreboding. And Theo Adam delivers a thoroughly spiteful, loathesome vocal portrait of the nefarious Kaspar, whose pact with the devil Samiel goes awry. For a work that is not performed nearly as often as it deserves to be, this recording is essential. --Thomas May
