Background: With a libretto originally composed for a children's Christmas celebration for use by the composer’s own fireside, Humperdinck's first opera, Hänsel und Gretel, remains a huge and popular success. This is due in no small measure to its combination of enchanting German folk-tunes, both traditional and newly-invented, and sumptuous Wagnerian orchestration. Here re-issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the composer's birth, this 1953 recording has acquired classic status, not only for the peerless contributions of Elisabeth Grümmer and Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, but for Karajan's faultless and imaginative handling of the score, a work he had never previously conducted. |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: recorded 1953 - Penguin Guide Rosette star 'Karajan's classic 1950's set of Humperdinck's children's opera, with Schwarzkopf and Grummer peerless in the name-parts, is enchanting; this was an instance where everything in the recording went right' |
