Background: Der Freischütz which opened the Vienna State Opera in May 1972 was the first that had been staged in the house for a quarter of a century. From the opening bars of the overture, Karl Böhm and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra leave the listener in no doubt that the contrasts inherent in the score are graphically highlighted: the blackly Romantic demonism of the work is as sharply delineated as the homeliness of its bourgeois Biedermeier setting.

Touching in the unemotional simplicity that she brings to Weber's melodic lines, Gundula Janowitz, the ideal Agathe, misses none of the warmth and inwardness of the part.
