RICHARD WAGNER (1813-1883): Rienzi.

Description: Since we recently offered the same label, conductor and orchestra in Wagner's early Das Liebesverbot, it made sense to present this extravagant and elaborate 1840 work in which he worked through his love for Italian and French grand opera models. 3 CDs. German libretto. Peter Bronder (tenor), Christiane Libor (soprano), Claudia Mahnke (mezzo), Falk Struckmann (bass), Frankfurt Opera and Museum Orchestra; Sebastian Weigle.
