| Musica Sveciae | Swedish opera was created by Gustaf III. This Gesamtkunstwerk was a national concern, and it wizardly evolved at breakneck speed. This recording features Uttini's 'Thetis and Pelée', the first Gustavian opera, together with opera music by Häffner and Naumann - with material from ancient and exotic history, but primarily for the glorification of king Gustaf. |
