The program features “Croesus” by Reinhard Kaiser (1674–1739), a composer of the German Baroque period. While it was standard practice in 17th- and 18th-century Germany to compose operas in Italian, the Hamburg School of opera—which flourished between 1678 and 1738—represented a form of civic musical theater written in German. Among these works, this opera is considered Kaiser’s masterpiece. The plot follows the wealthy King Croesus of Lydia until his defeat by the Persian King Zirs, and it is packed with compelling episodes, making for a thoroughly engaging listening experience. Since 1992, Jacobs has served as artistic advisor to the Berlin State Opera, where he has staged masterpieces of Baroque opera—including Cavalli’s *Callisto*, Scarlatti’s *Griselda*, and Telemann’s *Orfeo*. As a result, Berlin became a major hub for early music performance and had a significant influence on the revival of Baroque opera throughout Europe.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harmonia Mundi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525292974369,"sku":"3149020937808","price":5290.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/3149020937808.jpg?v=1789730694","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/3149020937808","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
