About

Karl Gustav Vollmoeller’s pantomime Das Mirakel is arguably his most important stage work, and the score Engelbert Humperdinck provided as accompaniment impresses with its rich, romantic sound and large-scale choral scenes. Nonetheless, the work has remained an unjustly neglected part of Humperdinck’s output. Premiered in London in 1911, it was none other than the great Max Reinhardt who adapted Das Mirakel for film in 1912, staging numerous performances with hundreds of actors, singers and dancers before it eventually reached the Salzburg Festival in 1925. This thoroughly Romantic masterpiece can now be enjoyed in its first complete recording.
