Apple Music Classical
Carl Maria von Weber played a significant role in the development of Romantic opera in Germany, liberating it from Italian and French influences. Inspired by folklore and myths, the story of his most famous opera, Der Freischütz, and its novel orchestrations made Weber one of the pioneers of German Romanticism, bridging the transition from the 18th to 19th centuries with his powerful and unique musical voice.
