This Saturday February 6th at 12 pm our radio production for Wozzeck of Austrian Alban Berg will be broadcast. Opera written in 1922 and premiered in December 1925, its plot of terrible hardness and extreme ferocity presents us with the absolute destruction, without metaphors, of a human being crushed by his own environment.
The libretto was taken from Georg Büchner's Woyzeck, dead in 1837 at the age of 24 The German prosist's stage play was created in the middle of Romanticism, although it is established as a history of naturalism and shows Büchner's concern over social problems.
The Viennese composer resumed that drama to turn it into a three-act opera that exposes a psychological and social background as vicious as it is brutal. The sound language is atonal for the most part, as logical in a time of transition and experiments. Wozzeck contains just a few passages in traditional tonality, without detriment to the formidable dramatic unit. The voices, for their part, expose a rawly realistic recite.
From Alban Berg's work-impressive exploration into the subconscious, obsessive fixations and most tragic feeling-we had three recordings at hand: Abbado with Franz Grundheber and Hildegard Behrens, Dohnányi with Eberhard W ächter and Anjia Siljia, and Böhm with Fischer - Dieskau and Evelyn Lear. All three albums present interesting results, although we decided on the last one; recreation that we assume more accentuated dramatic intensity.
If you'll please tune in this Saturday, it can be on 107.7 FM (for the city of Xalapa and territory of Veracruz) or at www.radiomas.mx
