BERG ALBAN

(H/B) CORRESPONDENCE, 1925-1935
Adorno was twenty-one years old when he traveled to Vienna in March 1925 to study musical composition with Alban Berg. Twenty years later, Adorno wrote: "how much of my writing will remain is beyond my knowledge or my control, but there is one claim I wish to stake: that I understand the language of birds," It was no less than the desire to learn to speak this language that drew him to Berg. Adorno already knew what he wanted to drew to compose before he went to Berg, and the aim of his stay in Vienna and the following years was to learn t...

(2CD) WOZZECK
The history of Wozzeck began nearly 200 years ago, when Johann Christian Woyzeck, a onetime soldier and jobless wigmaker, killed his sweetheart with a knife in a fit of jealous rage.

(CD) TIEF IN DER NACHT
Ένα πρόγραμμα με Lieder του Alban Berg και μια καντάτα του Karl Amadeus Hartmann, παρουσιάζονται εδώ, ένα ρεπερτόριο δυνατό, τρυφερό γοητευτικό, από μια ταραγμένη εποχή κατά την οποία δεν ήταν μόνο το τοπίο του τραγουδιού που είχε ανατραπεί.
