“A thrilling disc of French concertos from Debussy& Ravel and wonderful make-weights fromMassenet... This is perhaps the finest sound fromChandos to date; it is lifelike in a way thatnormally is avoided in an effort to obtain - anadmittedly flattering - bloom which is mercifullyabsent here.

Golem ThrillerFor centuries the legend of the golem, a clayfigure resembling a human being that inspired theoriginal Frankenstein story and was set to music1926 by Eugen d’Albert. The Beethoven Orchestraof Bonn and the Bonn Theater Chorus presentedhis opera on the stage under the conductor StefanBlunier in early 2010 - a rarity that MDG includesin their ‘Live’ series!

Prague GhettoThe story behind the drama is set in the Pragueghetto during the sixteenth century. Rabbi Loew issupposed to have dug up the golem from theloamy soil on the banks of the Moldau and to haveemployed mystical rituals to endow him with life.The golem was to obey his master’s commands insilence and to protect the ghetto inhabitants duringpogroms. Lea, the Rabbi’s foster daughter,however, teaches the golem to speak, and Leaand the golem fall in love. When the Rabbiseparates the couple, the golem flies into a violentrage - all of which offers excellent material for amagnificent music drama.

Operatic TechnicolorDer Golem is one of the twenty-one operaspenned by Eugène d’Albert. He used big soundand an eruptive musical idiom with a touch of thepoetic here and there to set this action-packed talefrom his late period. The score offers a rich colorspectrum ranging from tender, bright,supernaturally sensuous tones to dark, deep,mystical shadings. He does without a fullensemble, and the solo setting is reduced to aminimum, in the manner of a chamber drama,while the chorus and orchestra form the overallmusical framework.

Bonn Go-GetterThe Beethoven Orchestra of Bonn has longnumbered among Germany’s top orchestras. Theorchestra’s successful cooperation with MDG hasproduced a complete recording of the symphoniesof Dmitri Shostakovich. Its SACD production ofFranz Liszt’s rarely performed oratorio Christusearned it an Echo Klassik prize. With StefanBlunier as its conductor, the orchestra nowundergoes impressive expansion with the lavishSACD recording in 2+2+2 technique.
