This opera was premiered by Klemperer in 1924 but was lost then rediscovered at the end of the 70s. The plot includes crazy counts, passion, a church wedding, curses, indomitable love and arson which belies its true inception: Schreker apparently conceived this opera whilst falling asleep on a train and Irrelohe is the name of a station somewhere between Dresden and Nuremberg

“it's an impressive effort. The Beethoven Orchester Bonn is fully up to the challenge of Schreker's densely scored music, though deftly balanced, exemplary SACD sound means that plenty of detail is captured.” International Record Review
