Freiburger Barockorchester, Zürcher Sing-Akademie, René Jacobs

RecommendedLise Davidsen (Agathe), Andreas Schager (Max), Sofia Fomina (Ännchen), Alan Held (Kaspar), Markus Eiche (Ottokar), Franz-Josef Selig (Eremit)
Frankfurt Radio Symphony, MDR Leipzig Radio Choir, Marek Janowski

Chor und Extrachor des Stadttheater Giessen & Philharmonisches Orchester Giessen, Michael Hofstetter
Dorothea Maria Marx is an appealing Rezia...her soprano is light and clear, and her fairly tight vibrato adds to the impression of a young innocent girl. Hüon is a demanding role that cries... —
