STRYCZEK SUSS FALEWICZ KEGEL

This new release presents Carl Orff’s masterwork opera in a benchmark recording that will set a new standard of sound quality and interpretation. “Die Kluge,” composed in 1943, is written in the style of a fairy tale with the moral of a fable, and tells the story of a king, a peasant, and a clever girl. It is based on Die Kluge Bauerntochter (The Peasant’s Wise Daughter) from the Grimm’s Fairy Tales. “The recordings were made between 1976 and 1980 and… are remarkable among the conductor’s recordings for the quality of their sound.” (Dietrich Brakemeier, Living Stereo, Munich 1994)
