Description:
Carl Maria von Weber's romantic opera Der Freischütz (1821) is considered a milestone in German music history. The gripping story about love, fear and dark forces captivates to this day: The young hunter Max gets into a diabolical pact out of desperation to win over his lover Agathe. But fate takes a dramatic turn ... With its rousing music, folksy melodies and the famous Wolfsschlucht scene, the opera is a masterpiece of Romanticism. The Austrian composer Andreas Simbeni has arranged an impressive fantasy for symphonic wind orchestra on this work.
