This is the first recording of Spohr's three-act opera, The Alchemist. Christian Fröhlich conducted this live performance in the Staatstheater Braunscheig in May 2009. This was the first time the opera had been heard since its last performance in Prague in 1838.

International Record Review

July/August 2011

“Bernd Weikl seizes with both hands the opportunities offered by the Alchemist's eccentric character...The part is well written, and very well sung...Spohr's orchestration is, as always, imaginatively coloured as part of the dramatic expression.”
