Now available in the Downloads board here is the only recording (as far as I know) of Schmidt's second opera Fredegundis. It dates from 1979, so it's in listenable but hardly hi-def sound. It'll be interesting to compare this with the promised Dortmund performance of Saint-Saëns' Frédégonde, assuming that's broadcast and recorded of course.

Thank you very much, Mark! I hadn't encountered this recording before.

If anyone would like the documentation that came with that recording 40 years ago, I can send a PDF. It contains a cast list, synopsis, and other background information. I would submit it here but I can't find a way to upload it.

Great! If you like email it to me, Martin, and I'll upload it for everyone.
