BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert

Katie Derham presents Cardillac, Hindemith's opera based on a short story by ETA Hoffmann.

Vienna State Opera's production of Cardillac, Hindemith's murder-mystery opera from 1926. Franz Welser-Most conducts soloists and the Vienna State Opera Chorus and Orchestra.

Katie Derham presents the Vienna State Opera's production of Cardillac, Hindemith's arresting murder-mystery opera from 1926. Based a short story by ETA Hoffmann, 17th-century Paris is all a-twitter at the violent death inevitably meeted out in suspicious circumstances to anyone who buys a trinket made by the master goldsmith Cardillac. Who is the murderer? Surely not Cardillac himself?
