Meyerbeer's first opera, written when he was just 21, is finally available in a modern recording that enables us to begin to appreciate what we've been missing
[…] to be recalled to serve as war leader), and you have the start of Meyerbeer's fascination with the outsider. Unlike many of his Jewish contemporaries, Meyerbeer never renounced Judaism (despite the severe problems of being a Jew in a country like Germany) and was always sensitive to 'Richesse' (anti-Semitism).

I have not checked out the works that appeared on opening weekend. So they have spent a lot of time rehearsing this stuff, and there's only so much rehearsal time in a week. It's not a big surprise that a comparatively short, uncomplicated, and familiar work was programmed in there someplace -- although, of course, SFS has played Beethoven's 7th innumerable times and did a […]
