About
Once again Frieder Bernius lives up to his name as the rediscoverer of unknown masterpieces from the Romantic era. Just in time for the Franz Ignaz Danzi's 250th anniversary, and together with the Kammerchor Stuttgart and the Hofkapelle Stuttgart he has snatched Danzi's opera Der Berggeist from an undeserved oblivion.
This opera, first performed in Karlsruhe in 1813 – exactly 200 years ago – based on the folkloric tale of Rübezahl, is an especially notable contribution to early Romantic opera in Germany.
Freider Bernius conducting the forces of the Stuttgart Chamber Choir are well documented and critically acclaimed, and this new recording is a welcome addition to the catalogue.

Awards and reviews
September 2013
[Danzi] has a good theatrical instinct and a feeling for character and situation. These are all well guided by Frieder Bernius, who clearly believes in the work and conveys his enthusiasm to his forces. If not a neglected masterpiece, this is an attractive and well-wrought opera, well worth hearing.
15th March 2014
Frieder Bernius directs with imagination and attention to detail. He has been doing great things in Stuttgart and continues the list of accomplishment here. He has a fine, youthful cast around him, equipped with refined, clear often Mozartian-sounding voices. There are no outstanding singers, as such, but then it’s a real ensemble piece.
