Title: Walter Braunfels - Verkündigung
Post by: M. Henriksen on Thursday 20 May 2010, 17:22
I'm now the happy owner of the rare EMI-recording of Walter Braunfels opera Verkündigung.
However I don't have the booklet...I would guess the original booklet includes both the synopsis and libretto of this work.
So my question is if anyone of our forum-members has it? Could it be possible to scan and e-mail a booklet? Or does anyone know of a location on the web where I might find a libretto++?
I will be grateful for all help I can get on this matter!

I can send you a scan of the booklet for the Dennis Russell Davies recording, which does have the libretto (I assume this is the EMI recording you refer to). If you send me an email address I can email it to you.

Morten,

Just FYI, the booklet is in English, German and French, but the libretto is only in German sans translation.

No problem! I believe I need a bit of practise on my high-school German.
