Without any doubt Euryanthe is an absolute masterpiece, rich on unforgettable melodies and brilliantly orchestrated. While today only the overture is frequently performed, the entire production is worthy of renewal. Furthermore, it is the only opera by Weber without spoken dialogues, continuity being created by orchestral recitatives linking the “numbers“ in a very skillful way. This makes it an ideal opera for radio, as this production proves in no uncertain way. The interpretation is on a high level and we get a glimpse of the great talent of Kurt Masur, famed German conductor and “one of the last old-style maestros” at the beginning of his glorious career.

Classical Music

German tenor Rudolf Schock boasted a wide repertoire. He regularly recorded opera and lieder in addition to doing television, radio, and film work. He was known for his warm, flexible voice, and a "strong top voice" which suited him to heroic roles. He was known to be able to fill a recital hall full of audience members who had never before taken part in a classical programme. He continued making concert appearances and recordings well into his sixties. Unfortunately, in 1986 at the age of 71, he passed away suddenly. RELIEF publishes here the eight orchestral songs of Strauss, Schumann's Dichterliebe and two programmes of selected songs recorded in 1957.
