Conducted by PETER MONTGOMERY
THE OVERTURE ROSAMUNDE did not originally form a part of the music written for the very stupid play of Rosamunde, Princess of Cyprus, which was hopelessly unworthy of Schubert's attention. Actually the overture was composed for a melodrama entitled The Magic Harp, and it was performed as such at the Theater an der Wien in 1820. Three years later Schubert wrote the ' Rosamunde ' music, including an overture since called by another title ‘ Alfonso and Estrella ', The Magic Harp' overture now being known as ' Rosamunde '.
