Erich Kleiber
Schreker's fame and influence were at their peak during the early years of the Weimar Republic when he was the most performed living opera composer after Richard Strauss. The decline of his artistic fortunes began with the mixed reception given to "Irrelohe" in Cologne in 1924 under Otto Klemperer and the failure of "Der singende Teufel", given in Berlin in 1928 under Erich Kleiber.
