Album Notes & Community Reviews
Conducted by the legendary Carlos Kleiber with the Staatskapelle Dresden, this pristine recording is widely revered as the definitive modern interpretation of Weber's seminal Romantic opera. The performance perfectly captures the dark, supernatural German folklore of the Wolf's Glen scene alongside the soaring, lyrical vocal mastery of Gundula Janowitz and Peter Schreier. It remains an absolute cornerstone of the Deutsche Grammophon classical catalog.
