About
A gem from the vaults of the East‐German archives: the opera Tiefland by D’Albert.
Eugen d’Albert was a pupil and protégé of Franz Liszt, he embarked on a successful career as a piano virtuoso. As a composer he was deeply rooted in the German culture, and fell under the spell of Richard Wagner. As a conductor he was Kapellmeister in Weimar.
The opera Tiefland is d’Albert’s masterpiece, it is regularly staged, and its late romantic Wagnerian language never fails to impress and enchant.
A stellar cast in this production from 1963: Theo Adam, Siegfried Vogel, Heinz Hoppe and Hanne‐Lore Kuhse, the glorious Staatskapelle Dresden conducted by Paul Schmitz.
The booklet provides liner notes on composer and music, the libretto is available on www.brilliantclassics.com.
