Rare Meyerbeer
Posted by Nils-Göran Olve on November 22, 2022, 5:23 am
Mr Maynard's review of a recent Naxos disc mentions that Wirt und Gast was perforned in Bad Urach in 2010, and that it may be that live performance which is on Youtube. A broadcast has been officially issued by Sterling a year ago - and reviewed by MusicWeb International! But it puts another title first: Abimelek. It has good notes and a full libretto, is well done and I spent a couple of pleasant hours with it. It also affords a fuller idea on Meyerbeer's pre-Italy musical world than just orchestral items can do.
