CD + DVD. "Beyond being a masterpiece, Der FreischÃ¼tz marks a starting point as one of the first - if not the first - great German Romantic operas," says Laurence Equilbey. She conducts highlights from Weber's exhilarating, ground-breaking work in both audio and video format, recorded live in Paris. The vivid period instruments of the Insula Orchestra are joined by the Accentus Choir and a cast led with poetry and radiance by tenor Stanislas de Barbeyrac and soprano Johanni van Oostrum. The stylish, suitably magical staging is by ClÃ©ment Debailleul and RaphaÃ«l Navarro of Compagnie 14:20.
