Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957):
Violanta - opera in one act to a libretto by Hans Müller
Original version, sung in German
1 Vorspiel
2 Unsere Barke blüht schon
3 He, was machst du?
4 Schweigt still! Wie oft hab ichs gesagt
5 Ich hol dich. Komm!
6 Sie hasst ihn!
7 Wein! Blumen! Lichter! Geigenhauch ...
8 Violanta?
9 Aus den Gräbern ...
10 Dann hör ich durch Nacht und Stille
11 Violanta! - Ja, du wirst ihn töten
12 Ja, du wirst ihn töten
13 Dicht Aug in Aug
14 Barbara! Bring Lichter!
15 Wie ging das Märchen, Barbara
16 Interludio
17 Der Sommer will sich neigen ...
18 Wie schön seid Ihr
19 Noch nicht das Lied!
20 Sterben wollt ich oft
21 Mona Violanta ...?
22 Nie hab ich gelebt im Augenblick
23 Reine Liebe, die ich suchte
24 Violanta!
25 Du riefst, hier bin ich
26 Still ... mich tragen Wogen silberrein!
Recorded 21 and 23 January 2020 at Teatro Regio Torino, Italy
