Klaus Florian Vogt - Die Tote Stadt - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Korngold was just 23 when his most celebrated stage work was premiered in 1920 by no less than Otto Klemperer. The rich orchestration and brilliant bel canto vocal writing is here superbly realized by a cast led by Klaus Florian Vogt and Camilla Nylund, with Inchconducting to die forInch (The Guardian) from Mikko Franck. InchI regard Die tote Stadt as one of the greatest operas of the first quarter of the 20th century and the Finnish National Opera's production makes it stand out as a true masterpiece, scenically and musically.Inch (Seen and Heard International)
