12. Rosamunde, D. 797: Overture from Die Zauberharfe, D. 644
The play by Helmina von Chezy may not have survived more than two performances on its original run at the Theater an der Wien, but Schubert’s incidental music has proved more durable, and forms a happy hour of minuets and choruses, framed by the overture from Alfonso und Estrella which the composer originally reused in haste, and at the end the much more developed overture from Die Zauberharfe (yet another forgotten dramatic work by Schubert) which has come to be more associated with Rosamunde.
In between comes the sequence of ballet music, unforgettably poetic and quietly melancholy, which shows the mature Schubert at his finest, as well as a short aria, sung here by the Spanish soprano Ileana Cotrubas. This East German recording from the early 70s is conducted to the manner born by Willi Boskovsky, as one would expect from his years of leading the Vienna Philharmonic from the front desk, and from the podium for decades of New Year’s Day concerts. ‘He gets delightful playing from the Dresden orchestra,’ remarked Gramophone’s reviewer in 1979, and the Leipzig chorus is ‘excellent’.
