Die Frau ohne Schatten was the ticket for Sebastian Weigle as GMD of Oper Frankfurt, so what could be more natural than to release this opera on CD as well? Strauss specialist Weigle has brought to the stage established singers and role debutants alike, including Terje Stensvold, who said farewell to the Frankfurt stage in this 2014 series.
