An outstanding new collection of the key works of Berg, spanning the creative career of the composer, with a few novelties thrown in too. These include Theo Verbey’s superb orchestration of Berg’s solo Piano Sonata, which transforms the piece into virtually a new work. In the Passacaglia fragment (1913), each variation builds on the former one rather than on the original theme, and the result is an intense piece of orchestral writing, put together from the composer’s sketch by Christian von Borries. The concert aria, Der Wein (‘The Wine’) is heard here in two performances, one in the usual German by Geraldine McGreevy, and the other in French by the tenor, Robert Murray. The latter, in Baudelaire’s original French, is markedly sweeter in tone. The main orchestral works come off extremely well here: both the soloist and the conductor bring out all the colours which make up the Violin Concerto, and the orchestral suites from Wozzeck and Lulu have both intensity and atmosphere. The Three Pieces, Op. 6, have more warmth here than usual, though the finale has a fine sense of impending doom. The disc ends with Berg’s enjoyable arrangement of Strauss’s Wein, Weib und Gesang! Throughout, these performances benefit from superb Chandos SACD sound and excellent playing from the Gothenburg orchestra. The two CDs are offered for the price of one.
这是一部杰出的贝尔格重要作品新作集,涵盖了作曲家的整个创作生涯,并加入了一些新意。其中包括西奥·维尔贝伊为贝尔格的独奏钢琴奏鸣曲所作的精湛配器,这几乎使这首作品焕然一新。在帕萨卡利亚舞曲片段(1913)中,每个变奏都建立在前一个变奏之上,而非原主题之上,最终呈现出一部充满张力的管弦乐作品,由克里斯蒂安·冯·博里斯根据作曲家的草图进行拼凑。音乐会咏叹调《葡萄酒》(Der Wein)以两种方式演绎,一种由杰拉尔丁·麦格里维以惯用的德语演唱,另一种由男高音罗伯特·默里以法语演唱。后者以波德莱尔原版法语演唱,音色明显更加甜美。主要的管弦乐作品在这张专辑中展现得淋漓尽致:独奏家和指挥家都充分展现了小提琴协奏曲的全部色彩,而《沃采克》和《露露》的管弦乐组曲则既有张力又有氛围。《三首小品》(作品6)在这里比以往更加温暖,尽管终曲中弥漫着一种末日即将来临的微妙感觉。专辑以贝尔格改编的施特劳斯《葡萄酒,葡萄酒与歌》的优美乐章收尾!自始至终,这些演出都得益于Chandos SACD的卓越音质和哥德堡管弦乐团的精湛演奏。两张CD只需一张的价格。
Wozzeck (complete)
Decca 478 3408 (2). Waechter, Silja, Winkler, Laubenthal, Zednik, Jahn, Malta, Sramek, VPO, Dohnányi – SCHOENBERG: Erwartung
Dohnányi, with refined textures and superb playing from the Vienna Philharmonic, presents an account of Wozzeck, cast from strength, that is not only more accurate than any other on record but also more beautiful. At midprice, coupled with Schoenberg’s Erwartung, this is an outstanding set in every way.
多纳伊凭借维也纳爱乐乐团精湛的演奏,以细腻的质感演绎了《沃采克》,其演绎力之强,不仅比以往任何唱片都更精准,也更优美。这套唱片价格适中,搭配勋伯格的《期望》,无论从哪个角度来看,都是一套杰出的套装。
