First Complete Recording
Pantomime in two Acts and an Interlude for choruses and orchestra
Libretto by Karl Gustav Vollmoeller
Engelbert Humperdinck's music for the pantomime of Karl Gustav Vollmoeller's arguably most important stage work impresses with its deeply Romantic sound and large-scale choral scenes and had so far led an unforgivable shadowy existence in the composer's oeuvre. Premiered in London in 1911, none other than Max Reinhardt adapted this work for film (1912) and staged numerous performances with hundreds of actors, singers, and dancers – finally also at the Salzburg Festival in 1925. This recording represents the first complete recording of this deeply Romantic masterpiece.
