Weber: Der Freischütz - Tinsley, Byles, Walmsley, Golding, Shirley-Quirk; Loughran. Oxford, 1962
$9.95
Description:
At a time when most operatic performances in England were sung in English, the Chelsea Opera Group took a different approach, presenting Der Freischütz with an all-English cast performing in the original German. The result is a performance of unusual linguistic and musical integrity for its time.
A young Pauline Tinsley is outstanding as Agathe, already displaying the vocal command and expressive power that would define her career.
The spoken dialogue is omitted, but the musical performance stands strongly on its own.
