Description: A Singspiel from 1769 written for the typical end-of-year celebrations at Austrian and German universities, this one also occurred at an inspection of the school in Salzburg by educational authorities. The music is as tuneful and attractive as you would expect from this composer (and there are 80 minutes of it!) even if you won’t get a lot of the libretto’s allusions to intramural power politics (the notes help a little here). German-English texts. Maximilian Kiener (tenor), Armin Framer, Lina Ferencz (altos), Nele Gramß (mezzo), Salzburger Hofmusik; Wolfgang Brunner.
