“This Schubert disc is one that delights, moves and, as important, convinces... There is a probing mind at work here, one that never has recourse to dry academicism but, on the contrary, is constantly alive to musical intricacy, inter relation and meaning... All the performances reflect Ronald Smith's still formidable credentials as a Schubertian of distinction.” MusicWeb International | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Eva Mei (soprano), Rainer Trost (tenor), Markus Werba (baritone) & Alfred Muff (bass) Orchestra e Coro del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, Gérard Korsten (conductor) & Luca Ronconi (director) Most of Schubert’s operas were written without a specific commission, in the hope that, once completed, some theatre might find them interesting simply by virtue of their musical value. This unrealistic optimism proved almost always wrong and Schubert suffered bitter disappointments, very often working for nothing. Begun on 20th September 1821, Alfonso und Estrella was completed on 27th February 1822 but was first staged, on the initiative of Franz Liszt, only in 1854, after Schubert’s death. Alfonso und Estrella has the characteristic climate of a romantische Oper. If it is true that Schubert lacks the sense of theatre which is typical of the best operatic composers of his day (for example Weber), the power of his creativity and beauty of many arias cannot be denied. The DVD version comes with subtitles in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
