Sie war eine der bedeutendsten Sängerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Gemeinsam mit Weltstars wie Maria Callas, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf oder Birgit Nilsson zählte sie zur “Goldenen Generation” jener Sopranistinnen, die in den Jahrzehnten nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg die großen Opernbühnen beherrschten und dem gebeutelten Publikum magische Glücksmomente schenkten. Irmgard Seefried legte Wert auf natürlichen Ausdruck. Gekünstelter, vom inneren Empfinden getrennter Gesang war der “schönen Seele”, wie der Opernexperte Jürgen Kesting sie nannte, fremd.

Nearly every music lover is acquainted with Der Freischutz, but the fewest are aware of Euryanthe. In the light of the musical quality of the opera, the disdain for it does not seem fitting. Euryanthe was Carl Maria von Webers most ambitious project, one that anything but backfired. The composition may certainly be termed ground-breaking and truly deserves more attention. A chain of glittering jewels from the beginning to the end. All witty and ingenious, (Robert Schumann in his critic about Euryanthe.) The presnt release features a live recording of the work, which was taken in December of 2018 and features the Arnold Schoenberg Chor and the Orf Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, as well as a group of brilliant soloists.

“Yesterday, with genuine pleasure I attended a kind rehearsal of the opera ‘Peter Schmoll und seine Nachbarn’ by my pupil Mr. Carl Maria von Weber, and I cannot help attesting with truth, […] that I consider it only right and proper that I recommend this, my favorite pupil, be welcomed by the entire musical and sensitive world.” (Johann Michael Haydn, 1802) After the artful overture, which may make an absolute claim to autonomy, Peter Schmoll shows a colorful succession of a total of 20 numbers, as was customary in the musical comedies composed in this manner for about three decades. In Peter Schmoll, we see glimpses of the ‘typical’ Weber, based primarily on the melodic idea, such as we know him today from Der Freischütz, written in 1817.
