Hoffmann's short story \"Miss Sküderi\" depicts the worship of genius, twisted passion, and the darkness of sin. Published in 1819, this tale is both a crime novel and imbued with a rich spirit of Romanticism. In 1925, Hindemith adapted this subject into an opera based on a libretto by the poet Ferdinand Lyon. Influenced by the New Objectivity movement, the music blends traditional forms with a modern musical language, constructed using neo-baroque techniques that combine cold precision with dramatic tension. This album features a live recording of the acclaimed new production at the Vienna State Opera, with a stellar cast of singers. The title role is sung by Tomasz Konieczny, a Polish actor turned singer who is active as a Wagnerian. The overwhelming expressiveness of Vera-Lotte Becker, named Opera World's 2021\/2022 Singer of the Year, Wolfgang Bankl, a renowned bass-baritone court singer, drives the story forward with his profound and versatile expression, while tenor Daniel Jentz portrays the young knight with a sharp presence. Cornelius Meister masterfully brings the whole production together.
