Ferdinand Ries' opera Die Räuberbraut from cpo

[M. Henriksen]

For those who haven't noticed cpo have posted an interesting video-interview with; among others producer Burkhard Schmilgun on their site, revealing that Howard Griffiths will conduct Ferdinand Ries' opera Der Räuberbraut in cpo production no. 1000. Something to look forward to I guess! But maybe not in 2012, knowing cpo too well...

Neat! I saw the vocal score (I think - I need to check again) scanned in by the State Library of Berlin, but didn't know it was being recorded, too...

Does that translate as "The Robber Bride"?

[M. Henriksen]

Yes, something like that.
This seems to be the first out of three operas Ries composed.

One to which I look forward enormously!

CPO have already given us the very spirited overture - its on the Ries disc containing the Concerto for Two Horns. Which is a super work!

The opera - Op 156 on the Ries worklist - was first produced in Frankfurt in 1828.

According to WDR (Germany) it was recorded in December 2012 and will be broadcast on WDR on 15th April 2012 at 20:00.

Something to really look forward to. 

[M. Henriksen]

Recorded December 2011 I hope!

Whoops. A typo. Sorry. Indeed it was 2011!
