The most unexpected of the new reissues is the sparkling 1956 recording of Cornelius's long-neglected and romantically 'oriental' Der Barbier von Bagdad. Starring Schwarzkopf, Gedda, Prey and Hoffman, all at the top of their formidable form, the performances are perfection, and the piece, based on the Arabian Nights story, a delight. It is coupled with Busoni's stylised and brilliantly parodic caprice Arlecchino. -- Claire Wrathall, BBC Music Includes full libretto in English and German |
