The composer, Herzogenberg, was 27 years old at the time. Although Herzogenberg had been an ardent admirer of Wagner’s music until his early twenties, he had come to appreciate the appeal of Brahms through Bach, and this work was composed during a period when his style was shifting toward the Classical tradition. That said, the music he set to his own libretto is dramatic, and the work can be considered a transitional piece—one that had not yet fully broken free from Wagner’s influence. The work is broadly divided into two parts, with the story of Columbus told through a grand chorus. Conducted by Kaftan, who specializes in modern and contemporary opera, and featuring renowned singers such as Schade as soloists, this is a magnificent performance.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595672248609,"sku":"4589538729844","price":4690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538729844.jpg?v=1790482227","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538729844","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
