Marschner: Overtures and Stage Music Vol. 2

Hradec Králové Philharmonic Orchestra;
Salvi, Dario

8.574482

Heinrich Marschner developed his own distinctive operatic style that enabled him to become the leading German opera composer between Weber and the rise of Wagner. The works in this second volume of overtures and stage music (Volume 1 is on 8.574449) span much of his compositional life, from the early commission for Prinz Friedrich von Homburg, a work that explores ethical philosophy, to the sumptuous and varied excerpts from Austin. The stirring overture from his dramatic cantata Klänge aus Osten reinforces his orchestral mastery and sense of colour.

Works:

•Heinrich August Marschner: Entr'actes aus Prinz Friedrich von Homburg
• Heinrich August Marschner: Klänge aus dem Osten-Ouvertüre op. 109
• Heinrich August Marschner: Ballo & Marsch aus Kaiser Adolph von Nassau op. 130
• Heinrich August Marschner: Einleitung, Krönungsmarsch & Ballo aus Austin
