Joseph Martin Kraus was an innovative 18th Century composer, acclaimed by Haydn as one of the only two geniuses he knew (Mozart was the other). Small wonder that intense interest has been ignited by his forward-looking music, especially the epic six act opera (a prologue and five acts) Aeneas in Carthage, a retelling of the famous story of Dido and Aeneas. Originally intended for the inauguration of the new opera house in Stockholm, the première was delayed for ten years until 1791 allowing Kraus to refine his titanic score into a true magnum opus.

Reviews

FonoForum 04/10: "Gallois und sein Ensemble scheinen in dem Fluss dieser Musik ganz aufzugehen, die Akzente sitzen, es schwingt und drängt voran, und die Tutti klingen allesamt entschlossen. Eigentlich war das Werk 1782 für die Eröffnung des Opernhauses Stockholm gedacht, wegen der unerwarteten Absage der Primadonna aber abgesagt worden. Wer allein die Instrumentalmusik hört, wird rasch spüren, dass Kraus die Landung des aus Troja entkommenen Aeneas an der Küste Karthagos rundum zuversichtlich und entschlossen darstellt."
