Deborah Voigt is breathtaking as Cassandra, the Trojan prophetess who sees the looming calamity but is ignored

Der Freischutz by
Carl Maria von Weber(
)
30 editions published between 1990 and 2013 in German and Undetermined and held by 705 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Wagner said this early-Romantic gem was the most German of German operas. Its irresistible mix of colorful folklore, the spooky supernatural, a tender romance, and the passionate struggle between good and evil are all captured in Weber's tuneful and dramatic score. The cast in this rare U.S. performance is sensational: Sándor Kónya as our hero, the forester Max, who must win a shooting contest in order to marry his beloved Agathe (the ravishing Pilar Lorengar), despite the dark plotting of Caspar (Gerd Feldhoff)

The Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn concertos both have played a significant role in Ray Chen's career.

Chen brings a fresh interpretation to the cornerstones of violin repertoire and finds a kindred spirit in conductor Daniel Harding and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra
