> If you'd heard the orchestrated version on period instruments you'd change your mind too. And not only hear but see, because this is not just music but a staged performance piece, the complexities of which were considerable. Schindler said it made the direction of Fidelio look easy by comparison.
Can you recommend a particular recording on period instruments?

I have no reason to doubt Schindler may have witnessed a performance of WV of knew of its background. Even if his comment displays some exaggeration it indicates that there was more to the original production than we appreciate today. Remember there were two armies slogging it out on stage. It's difficult enough just to reproduce a convincing operatic duel!Originally posted by Michael:
