Schreker: Der Ferne Klang

Opis

Schreker: Der ferne KlangOpis:Eclipsed by the music of the Second Viennese School, Schreker's musical output is currently undergoing something of a deserved renaissance. Originally on the Marco Polo label, this opera's appearance at super-budget price is to be enthusiastically welcomed. The musical style is late-Romantic, rich and pregnant with possibilities. Berg in fact prepared the vocal score for Der ferne Klang, and one can detect seeds of the vocal style of Lulu here (especially in the writing for Grete, who, like Lulu, emerges as a fallen woman). Richard Strauss' operatic vocal lines also spring to mind. More than this, Schreker's complete command of the orchestra means that atmospheres are graphically invoked. The interludes (often excerpted, such as the "Nachstück" on Sinaisky's Schrecker disc emerge as much more than links between scenes. Elena Grigorescu is completely at home as Grete, her account heart-rendingly touching. Her lover, Fritz (who leaves her in pursuit of the "distant sound" of the title) is well sung, with exemplary diction by the tenor Thomas Harper, and the cast in general is first-class. Full German text is provided. --Colin ClarkeProduct descriptionOpéra en 3 actes sur un livret du compositeur / Elena Grigorescu (Grete) - Thomas Harper (Fritz)... - Chœur de l'Opéra de Hagen - Orch.
