Presented by William Mival. "It was always the destiny of Weber, who arrived at a time of transition in the history of art in Germany, to see his works produced under the influence of excited party-spirit. He himself felt that his new venture must either raise him to a high pinnacle, and render an enormous service to the cause of German art, or be carried to the grave with scorn and mockery. There was no middle course. It was to be a battle for life or death"-
Max Maria Weber on Der
Freischutz.
Overture: Der Freischutz
Dresden Staatskapelle, conductor Carlos Kleiber
Clarinet Quintet in B flat, Op 34
Melos Ensemble
Der Freischutz (excerpts) Dresden Staatkspelle and Soloists, conductor Carlos Kleiber
