The
original version finally
availableHeinrich
Marschner is considered
the most significant
German opera composer
between Carl Maria von
Weber and Richard Wagner.
Among his most important
works is his opera Der
Vampyr (The Vampire)
premiered in 1828, with
which he celebrated his
breakthrough. The
composer's autograph is
regarded as lost, and a
score was not published
in Marschner's lifetime.
It was only in 1925 that
Hans Pfitzner produced an
edition that must be
described as flawed.
Breitkopf & Hartel has
prepared the complete,
practical performance
material based on the
score published in the
Das Erbe deutscher Musik
(German Music Heritage)
in the version authorized
by Marschner and tops it
off with a new piano
reduction [or piano
score?] that is very
playable.
The
splendid music is worth
it. What a work!, writes
Claus Ambrosius in the
Rhein-Zeitung. After the
premiere of Marschner's
Vampyr on 7 May at the
Theater Koblenz, the
early romantic opera
repertoire is once again
a work the richer.
