\n
Although celebrated as the father of German Romantic opera, Carl\nMaria von Weber is today generally known for one opera alone: Der\nFreischütz. However the overtures of his other operas and music for\nstage plays have survived the test of time and are popular concert\nadditions.
\n
The present disc includes ten of these gems, from the overture\nto Weber’s first surviving opera Peter Schmoll und seine Nachbarn –\ncomposed at the age of fifteen – to that of Oberon, written in\nLondon for Covent Garden less than two months before his death from\ntuberculosis, aged 39.
\n
The team of Jean-Jacques Kantorow and the Tapiola Sinfonietta\nhave recorded numerous discs for BIS, by composers as diverse as\nSaint-Saëns, Mozart, Shostakovich and Rautavaara as well as\nWeber.

Review
Phil Richards, Readings Carlton
Carl Maria Von Weber is known as thefather of German Romantic opera but isonly really recognised for the opera DerFreischutz. This new disc from Jean-JacquesKantorow and the Tapiola Sinfonietta willdefinitely enhance his reputation as a composer.All the pieces are beautifully writtenand the playing is strong and sympathetic.The ten pieces here range from the overture und seine Nachbarn – composed at the age of15 – to Oberon, written for the Covent Gardenless than two months before his deathfrom tuberculosis, aged 39.
