Schoenberg: Moses und Aron

Franz Mazura, Philip Langridge, Aage Haugland, Barbara Bonney, Mira Zakai, Daniel Harper, Thomas Dymit & Herbert Wittges

Chicago Symphony Chorus & Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti

Recorded - Orchestra Hall, Chicago, May 1984

"Solti gives Schoenberg's masterly score a dynamism and warmth which set it firmly - if perhaps surprisingly - in the grand romantic tradition ... As Aaron, Philip Langridge is lighter and more lyrical ... Aage Haugland with his firm, dark bass makes his mark in the small role of the Priest; Barbara Bonney too is excellent as the Young Girl. Above all, the brilliant singing of the Chicago Symphony Chorus matches the playing of the orchestra in virtuosity. More than ever the question-mark concluding Act II makes a pointful close, with no feeling of a work unfinished. The brilliant recording has an even sharper focus on CD."

Schoenberg: Moses und Aron

Sung in German. Live Recording from the Vienna State Opera 2006, Co-production with the Teatro Real, Madrid

Directed by Reto Nickler and Stage Design by Wolfgang Gussmann

Franz Grundheber & Thomas Moser

Chorus and Orchestra of the Vienna State Opera, Daniele Gatti

World Premiere

“Despite the flood of brilliant music that evokes God, Moses, Aron, Israelites, an orgy, and everyone and everything else, the music is essentially only a messenger. And that is the radical, reflexive idea here: that even this opera itself is probably inadequate to convey the basic unknowability of a higher power. That Schoenberg even attempted to address all of this -- using a multiplicity of techniques in the same piece -- is a bit formidable. He tackles a project with dimensions and implications that are far beyond what most of us can even conceive.” MusicWeb
