Korngold: The Miracle of Heliane

German opera critics were in rare agreement: The Miracle of Heliane in the Deutsche Oper Berlin production was an operatic event of the kind one rarely experiences: “Singers, director, conductor: The cheering wanted no end.” (Berliner Zeitung). “There is a danger of addiction to Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s music! Especially when it is celebrated in the orchestra pit and brought to life on stage with such exemplary quality.” (concerti). “Finally, a truly great opera again in Berlin’s largest opera house!” (BR-Klassik) “Go and enjoy it!” (Die Welt). Since the composer Korngold himself considered The Miracle of Heliane to be his masterpiece and ranked it even higher than his far better-known creation Die tote Stadt, this release offers the best opportunity to experience Korngold’s work in an unprecedentedly definitive performance!
