It is a lively one-act drama about the ancient Bavarian tradition of celebrating midsummer night with bonres, songs and dances at the summer solstice a work full of allusions. The score has quotations from Wagner and echoes of contemporary composers such as Mahler and Bruckner. Nonetheless, it is genuine Strauss from racy waltzes to enchanting love duets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConductor Gabriele Ferro acquits himself well in handling the complex score and keeping the balance between the pit and the crowded stage the orchestra sounds marvellous. \"Nicola Beller Carbone triumphs magnicently in the role of Diemut\" (Forum Opéra) and Dietrich Henschel, in the role of her suitor Kunrad, sings a \"full-voiced baritone\" (Tagesspiegel). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e REVIEW \u003cbr\u003e Feuersnot may well be best encountered on this first DVD version, where it is excellently served by a fine musical performance and a lavish staging. --Opera.
