Carl Maria Von WeberFreischutz -- Folksong and Hunter's Chorus
Der Freischutz has come to be considered the first of the Romantic operas. The influence of folk music is obvious, as is the composer's nationalistic fervor. Bright, melodic, and vibrant, it is as fresh today as when it was written.
German composer, conductor and pianist, born 18 November 1786 in Eutin, Germany, died 5 June 1826 in London, England..
