  Heinrich Marschner
Although his work has been generally neglected in the 20th century, Heinrich Marschner was a leading figure in German Opera in the period between Weber and Wagner, and wrote twenty-two operas and singspiels.
In 1824 Marschner became director of the German and the Italian opera in Dresden, undertaking, as he complained, most of the duties of Weber and of Morlacchi, the superintendent of the Italian opera.
Marschner's second wife died in 1825; Weber died in June, 1826, and Marschner, unsuccessful in his petition to the court for Weber's position, resigned, travelling first to Berlin, then to Danzig, where he had a six-month contract at the opera, writing the two-act Lukretia, the title rôle being performed by his new wife, Marianne.

Heinrich IV und D’Aubigné, whose libretto Hornbostel based rather loosely on the exploits of Henry IV of France (a Catholic) and his Huguenot equerry, Théodore-Agrippa d’Aubigné, at least gave Marschner some exposure in the musical mainstream, for Weber had the work performed in Dresden in 1820.
Marschner enlarged the individual forms of Singspiel and combined them into what may be termed ‘ensemble complexes’, containing multiple numbered subsections and nearly always one or more ensembles.

Marschner is only really heard in selections, with Der Vampyr the only complete work currently available.
This is tantalising since this one work is certainly comparable with the better known operas of Weber, and at times has drama on a par with any other operas of the period.
Marschner occupies a key place between Weber and Wagner in German opera: Wagner, rather uncharacteristically, even acknowledged that he had been influenced by Marschner.

Marschner occupies an important position in the history of German Romantic opera after the death of Weber.
He began his musical career in Pressburg (the modern Bratislava), teaching in a noble family and serving as director of music in another, before moving to Dresden, where his first opera was staged, working subsequently in Leipzig and finally in Hanover, where he died in 1861.
The opera brought the composer a considerable reputation, although this did not materially affect his position in Hanover, where he was music director of the Court Theatre.

Heinrich Marschner often is seen as a bridge between Weber and Wagner.
Netherworldly folk mingle with regular folk and drinking songs abound--and on the other hand, Marschner used musical motifs related to specific characters, which Wagner turned into his famous "leitmotifs".
Occasionally the Singspiel tradition calls for music that's far more lighthearted than the situation calls for, but Marschner also offers us some excitingly evil music for Ruthven, the Vampire, and some heartfelt scenes for his confused victims and bystanders.

Taken as a whole, the CD programme seems a bit unbalanced and, therefore, a little unsatisfying.
But it does offer the opportunity to hear the Nicolai and Marschner overtures and the first (rarely performed)version of Wagner's Rienzi Overture.
The Nicolai and Marschner are attractive pieces even if they do not bear the same repeated listening as the Mendelssohn works.

It's possible that you've never heard of this opera or its composer.
But Heinrich Marschner is regarded as the most important composer of German opera between Weber and Wagner, and while Hans Heiling isn't heard much in this country, it's still a popular show in Europe.
It comes to us from the Italian island of Sardinia, in a production from the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari, starring soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci and baritone Markus Werba.
