 Rating:  - Worthy production of an important masterpieceOn the music performance: This is a sweeping performance. The conductor Daniele Gatti is well versed in verismo, and it shows. The orchestra of Wiener Staatsoper is most responsive to the demanding score. Both Grundheber as Moses and Moser as Aron seize every possibility for lyrical expression. The double choruses carry out the mission impossible by singing almost all notes in pitch. (If you have ever sung a 12-tone music, then you'd understand what I mean.) Overall, it is quite satisfying. ...

He began a new compositional technique more than ten years before . And really I think that this opera is one of the principal works he composed and the most fascinating dodecaphonic music. Moses und Aron is in the top of the operas of the twentieth century, with Pelleas et Melisande by Debussy, Salomé and Elektra by Strauss and Woozeck and Lulu by Berg. I believe that the time of Moses und Aron arrived, ... Read More Rating: - The Greatest Opera finally on DVD!This was an amazing production of Schönberg's masterpiece Moses und Aron. During the first act the color scheme of the stage is black with the word "ich" written all over in white chalk. During the second act gold dominates the stage. Everyone is wearing gold and a huge television screen shows pictures of bullfighting and surgery to go along with the ballets. The second act was really strange but cool! I do wish though that they would show more of the orchestra and the conductor. Great production ... Read More |
