Various - Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek: Benzin

Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek�s opera Benzin - set to his own libretto, freely adapting Pedro Calder�n de la Barca�s El mayor encanto amor - collected dust for more than eighty years and first found its way from his music cabinet to the stage when it came to the attention of the Chemnitz Theater. It was here that the opera now finally being released on CD celebrated its premiere on 28 November 2010. The tonal arsenal is fully equipped and implemented, which of course means propeller noise, sirens, and hammering on an anvil creating an authentic airport atmosphere.
