This CD is a classic reissue of the complete incidental music for the play Rosamunde by Schubert. Several of the entre'actes and ballets have become 'Music for the Millions', Schubert's unique melodic gift lends even to the most trivial texts a touch of genius and deep humanity.
This is a wonderful performance by the superb Dresden Staatskapelle conducted by Willi Boskovsky, a feast of Viennese charm, humour, grace and wit. The soloist is the great soprano Ileana Cotrubas, an opera legend, irresistible in this repertoire.
