Awards and reviews

February 2014

Fine studio recording of Schreker's first successful opera. Although Schnaut as Grete has some tuning problems, the rest of the cast is convincing and the orchestra plays with great finesse.
4 out of 5 stars

Opera Now

Schreker isn’t afraid to pull his punches when it comes to creating a big effect...Albrecht conducts...with appropriate brilliance and unleashes some gorgeous sounds...if you remember [Schnaut's] glass-shattering later career you will be astounded at the lyricism, even delicacy, that she brings to her singing here.
