Carl Maria von
Webers dark Romantic era tale of love, faith, and temptation is
grippingly performed by the Dresden Staatskapelle led by conductor,
Christian Thielemann in this live DVD performance from early 2015. With
highly acclaimed staging by Axel Köhler, the singers in leading roles
add to the luster of the production with the tenor Michael Königs
performance of the anti-hero Max displaying a gloriously free upper
register bringing heroic weight to his role and Sara Jakubiak sweet
toned and melancholic Agathe. |
