Although Schubert’s dream of success as a composer for the stage largely eluded him, some of his theatrical music was performed during his lifetime.
His overtures for Georg von Hofmann’s Die Zwillingsbrüder and for Die Zauberharfe – later transferred to Rosamunde, D. 644 – sadly won little praise, though the Overture in the Italian Style, D590 was appreciated for its ‘youthful fire’, and the Overture in E minor, D. 648 was heard in 1821.
Volume 1 is also available on Naxos 8570328 and Schubert’s Alfonso und Estrella is on Naxos DVD 2110260.
