CARL MARIA VON WEBER (1786-1826): Peter Schmoll.

Description: A Singspiel dating from 1802, this is Weber’s first surviving stage work and was enough to inspire the following quote from his teacher, Michael Haydn, “I consider it only right and proper that I recommend this, my favorite pupil, be welcomed by the entire musical and sensitive world.” Only one previous recording on CD - in 1994 on an out-of-print Marco Polo. Overture and 20 numbers, totaling over 80 min. No libretto. Paul Armin Edelmann, Thorsten Grümbel, Ilona Revolskaya (soprano), ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra; Roberto Paternostro.
