This new recording of Carl Maria von Weber's Freischütz comes from the Aalto Theatre in Essen, with a production recorded in December 2018 (restored in April 2020), under the direction of Tomáš Netopil, General Director of Music at this German institution. Set by the librettist at the time of the Thirty Years' War, Der Freischütz, as we know, is a kind of manifesto, the first real German opera between Fidelio by Beethoven and The Ghost Ship by Wagner, who was himself inspired by Weber.
Although Tatjana Gürbaca's staging of Weber's fantastic opera as a reflection on Nazi atrocities was very poorly received, the show was saved by the musical quality of the project with excellent protagonists, such as Jessica Muirhead who plays a free and proud Agatha. The tenor Maximilian Schmitt (the Florestan in Leonore by Beethoven under the direction of René Jacobs, just released by harmonia mundi) is a very credible Max. As for the evil Kaspar sung by Heiko Trinsinger, it differs from the more widespread "black bass" by his clearer timbre and vengeful spirit.
At the stand, Tomáš Netopil highlights the contrasts between drama and folk accents with a surefooted sense of rhythm which is never found wanting. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Albumbeschreibung
This new recording of Carl Maria von Weber's Freischütz comes from the Aalto Theatre in Essen, with a production recorded in December 2018 (restored in April 2020), under the direction of Tomáš Netopil, General Director of Music at this German institution. Set by the librettist at the time of the Thirty Years' War, Der Freischütz, as we know, is a kind of manifesto, the first real German opera between Fidelio by Beethoven and The Ghost Ship by Wagner, who was himself inspired by Weber.
Although Tatjana Gürbaca's staging of Weber's fantastic opera as a reflection on Nazi atrocities was very poorly received, the show was saved by the musical quality of the project with excellent protagonists, such as Jessica Muirhead who plays a free and proud Agatha. The tenor Maximilian Schmitt (the Florestan in Leonore by Beethoven under the direction of René Jacobs, just released by harmonia mundi) is a very credible Max. As for the evil Kaspar sung by Heiko Trinsinger, it differs from the more widespread "black bass" by his clearer timbre and vengeful spirit.
At the stand, Tomáš Netopil highlights the contrasts between drama and folk accents with a surefooted sense of rhythm which is never found wanting. © François Hudry/Qobuz
