About

Engelbert Humperdinck started turning Elsa Bernstein’s libretto into the opera Königskinder (The Royal Children) around 1908. The free poetry was set in the world of German fairytales, using the familiar ‘good’ and ‘evil’ archetypes.

This recording was made in 1952, performed by Cologne’s Rundfunkorchester and conducted by Richard Kraus. The leading roles are sung by tenor Peter Anders (King’s son), soprano Käthe Möller-Siepermann (Goose Girl), contralto Ilsa Imme-Sabisch (Witch) and baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

CD3 also contains bonus tracks of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau singing excerpts from Mozart’s Zauberflöte (Magic Flute).
