About

The uncompromising course of Shakespeare’s play is mirrored in this contemporary opera in two parts (sung in German), music whose almost tangible energy catapults the listener into a realm of irresistible fantasies. Sebastian Weigle, new conductor-in-chief at the Oper Frankfurt, is the director of music.

Awards and reviews

5th June 2009

Though not a subtle piece, it is a mightily effective one, and this new recording, taken from four performances at the Frankfurt Opera last autumn, shows its power has not dated. With Wolfgang Koch as Lear and Jeanne-Michèle Charbonnet, Caroline Whisnant and Britta Stallmeister as his three daughters, the performances are very competent.
