Ernst MarzendorferAbout
The dramatic mezzo-soprano Dunja Vejzovic, who became famous for her Wagner roles in Bayreuth and Salzburg, performed on all the major opera and concert stages of the world. The excellent cast of singers in this performance is supported by Austrian conductor Ernst Märzendorfer, who also mastered several instruments and composed piano concertos, incidental music and a ballet. On this recording, he conducts the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, which has established itself as an opera orchestra through a long and successful collaboration with the MusikTheater an der Wien.
- First release of Franz Schmidt’s rarely performed opera Fredigundis.
- The role of Fredigundis is ideally cast with the Croatian mezzo-soprano Dunja Vejzovic.
- Ernst Märzendorfer conducted many premieres of works by great composers such as Paul Hindemith, Carl Orff, Béla Bartók and Benjamin Britten.
