Our Take

Frankfurt Operakohler's "Humperdinckkonigskinderin" is a whimsical journey into the realm of classical opera that leaves you feeling like you just stumbled into a fairy tale told by a group of mischievous elves.

The album opens with the overture, a lively and enchanting piece that sets the stage for the grandeur and drama that is to come. From there, we are taken on a musical rollercoaster of emotions, from the playful innocence of "The Gingerbread House" to the haunting beauty of "The Lost Children."

Soprano Maria Schmetterling's voice soars effortlessly through the intricate melodies, her diction crisp and clear even in the most challenging passages. Meanwhile, tenor Klaus Von Winzelberg brings a sense of depth and emotion to his portrayal of the mysterious King's Son, his powerful vocals adding an emotional weight to the story.

The production values on "Humperdinckkonigskinderin" are top-notch, with the orchestration bringing the music to life in a way that is both grandiose and intimate. The blending of traditional opera with modern sensibilities gives the album a fresh and contemporary feel, making it accessible to both die-hard opera fans and newcomers alike.

In conclusion, Frankfurt Operakohler's "Humperdinckkonigskinderin" is a delightful and enchanting album that transports you to a magical world filled with music and wonder. Don't miss out on this musical gem - it's a true masterpiece that deserves a spot in your collection.
