After the prize-winning first recording of Franz Schubert’s opera Sakontala, Frieder Bernius has now turned to his oratorio Lazarus. Although it only survives as a fragment, Lazarus is often regarded as a forerunner of Wagner’s Parsifal because of its recitative-arioso form, and still retains its place in the repertoire. For this live recording from the Bachfest Leipzig 2013, Bernius was joined by a distinguished line-up of soloists, the Kammerchor Stuttgart and the Hofkapelle Stuttgart.
