World premiere recording of Kurt Weill's Zaubernacht, in the reconstruction by Meirion Bowen

Capriccio Records in Germany have just added a significant new item to their list of Kurt Weill CDs: the first ever recording of his ballet-pantomime Zaubernacht (Magic Night), composed and premiered in 1922.

Meirion Bowen´s reconstruction of this work from the only surviving score (an incomplete piano rehearsal score) was premiered in Cologne on June 1, 2000 and this recording involves the same team of performers as on that occasion:

Ingrid Schmithüsen (soprano)
Ensemble Contrasts Köln
conductor: Celso Antunes

The recording was made in association with West-Deutscher Rundfunk.
