Weber: Der Freischütz
RecommendedLise Davidsen (Agathe), Andreas Schager (Max), Sofia Fomina (Ännchen), Alan Held (Kaspar), Markus Eiche (Ottokar), Franz-Josef Selig (Eremit)
Frankfurt Radio Symphony, MDR Leipzig Radio Choir, Marek Janowski

Chor und Extrachor des Stadttheater Giessen & Philharmonisches Orchester Giessen, Michael Hofstetter
