Der Freischutz (Overture; Act 2)
Mary Shelley wrote, "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."
Leipzig Radio Chorus,
Dresden Staatskapelle, conductor Carlos Kleiber
Repeated next Friday 12 midnight
