Provenance

Where it came from

Released by EMI Classics in 2012, this compilation was curated to bridge the gap between classical music history and the enduring narrative power of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. It gathers orchestral suites and operatic highlights inspired by iconic folk stories, specifically featuring works by Engelbert Humperdinck and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The compilation serves as a pedagogical and aesthetic exploration of how late Romantic-era composers translated the themes of wonder, peril, and morality from literature into programmatic music.

The design of the release reflects EMI's focus on the 'Es War Einmal' (Once Upon a Time) thematic series, which emphasizes a whimsical yet sophisticated visual language suitable for both young listeners and classical music enthusiasts. By grouping Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel with Tchaikovsky’s balletic interpretations of fairy tales, the label aimed to provide a cohesive entry point into 19th-century operatic and symphonic traditions. The collection received recognition for its accessibility, effectively pairing classic scores with the nostalgic storytelling traditions of the German cultural canon.
