Lortzing’s Der Waffenschmied is a lighthearted and superbly crafted opera that bridges Mozart’s Singspiele and early Wagner. Despite its relative popularity, there are surprisingly few complete recordings of it around. How lovely to change that with this new recording from the very place for which the opera was written and where it was premiered in 1846: Vienna’s Theater an der Wien – and a wonderful cast that includes the stalwart Günther Groissböck and the supremely promising Miriam Kutrowatz to boot!

It is a happy coincidence when, on the occasion of a remarkable opera premiere, a bassist celebrated by the professional world and one of his singer colleagues develop a closer friendship and discover their common preference for the Wienerlied, and it is a godsend for all lovers of this genre when a project spontaneously developed by both ends in a joint Wienerlied production.

Günther Groissböck and Karl-Michael Ebner thus follow prominent predecessors from the circles of Viennese artists of the opera stages, who with their interpretations make typical Viennese songs known to a wide public beyond the circle of special lovers.

The Austrian bassist Günther Groissböck calls his new album project a “kind of artistic creed”. The album is a very personal selection of four song cycles by Brahms, Wagner, Wolf and Mahler, including the “Wesendonck Lieder” sung for the first time by a bass voice, summarized under the drastically striking title Herz-Tod, which at first reminds one of the cause of death rather than of highly romantic music. The four song cycles unite the thematic brackets of love, death, transience and fragility, both in the real and in the emotional sense.
