Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Richard Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier," a comic opera that masterfully blends humor, romance, and intricate musical storytelling. Composed in 1911, this three-act opera is a cornerstone of Strauss's repertoire, showcasing his brilliance in merging orchestral richness with dramatic narrative. The libretto, penned by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, transports you to 18th-century Vienna, where a tale of love, deception, and social intrigue unfolds.
This album, released on Naxos in 2002, captures the essence of "Der Rosenkavalier" with a runtime of 2 hours and 22 minutes, offering a comprehensive journey through the opera's captivating acts. The Slovak Philharmonic, under the direction of Zdeněk Košler, delivers a performance that highlights the opera's lush orchestration and Strauss's signature waltz sequences. From the tender duets to the lively ensemble pieces, each track is a testament to Strauss's musical genius and Hofmannsthal's clever libretto.
"Der Rosenkavalier" marks a significant evolution in Strauss's compositional style, moving away from the darker themes of his earlier works like "Salome" and "Elektra."

Whether you're a seasoned opera enthusiast or a newcomer to classical music, this album offers a delightful exploration of one of the most beloved operas of the 20th century.
