Book Reviews of Der Freischutz: Complete Vocal and Orchestral Score
Book Review: An Example of German Romantic Opera
Summary: 5 Stars
From back cover:
"First performed in Berlin in 1821, 'Der Freischutz' is recognized as the wellspring of German Romantic opera. It was immensely influential in subject matter, atmosphere, orchestration and other musical aspects on all later German operatic writing, including Wagner. It is still quite popular.
The composition of of 'Der Freischutz' occupied Weber for an unusually long time. He started it in July of 1817 and did not complete it until May of 1820. Based on the short story 'Der Freischutz' in the 'Gespensterbuch' (Book of Ghosts) by August Apel and F. Laun, it is highly romantic with supernaturalism: a dark mysterious forest, lusty huntsmen, evil and magic.
This present edition reproduces the full orchestral score in a clear, modern engraving for easy reading and study, with large legible notation. Do not confuse this with a piano rendering; it is a full orchestral score. In addition to its obvious uses for study, this score is also indispensable for anyone listening to record sets or broadcasts. In no other manner can the listener keep full awareness of the orchestral richness of this opera. The complete German text, including all spoken dialogue, accompanies the music."
Summary of Der Freischutz: Complete Vocal and Orchestral Score
Considered the first Romantic opera. A masterpiece of dramatic representation, orchestration and melodious music that influenced the entire progress of dramatic music. Clearly reproduced Peters edition, with large, legible notation. Complete German text.Von Weber Books
