One of the best known of Marchner’s operas, Der Templer und die Jüdin is based on Walter Scott’s tale “Ivanhoe”. Recorded in 1951, and with a strong cast led by Kurt Equiluz and Leone Synak, with the Grosses Orchester der RAVAG today known as Radio Sinfonieorchester Wien (Radio Symphony Orchestra Vienna) under the baton of Kurt Tenner. Marchner’s impact and influence far outstripped the number of operas he composed and Wagner counted him as one of his primary influences.
