Raff completed the score of his little-known opera Die Eifersüchtigen, heard here in its world premiere recording, a few weeks before his death. With tight organizational control, a strong grasp of musical and dramatic relationships, and speech melodies based entirely on German prosody, Raff’s final opera is marked by clarity, concision, and economy of means. World premiere recording.
