Der Freischutz (Overture; Act 2) "The music is wild but often beautiful. When the magic bullets are cast, they fill the stage with all sort of horrors - owls flapping their wings, toads jumping about, ghostly hunters in the clouds - while every now and again comes a crashing discord." (Mary Shelley)
Leipzig Radio Chorus,
Dresden Staatskapelle, conductor Carlos Kleiber
