On 20 December 1823 Helmina von Chezy'sgreat romantic dramaRosamundereceived its premiere performance at Vienna's Theater an der Wien. Unfortunately this version of the drama with ghosts, shipwreck, pirates, attempted poisoning and other horrifying ingredients has not survived - unlike Schubert's popular incidental music which was already praised by contemporary critics. Special acknowledgment was given tothe genius of this much-loved master, and as evidence of its popularity, the overture and theHunters' Chorushad to be played again.

Now Barenreiter is issuing one of Schubert's best-known compositions in a complete vocal score.
The appendix includes Chezy's draft to the playRosamundeand a reconstruction of the first version of this drama.
