"This English language version is an almost unqualified success … a fresh and illuminating perspective a harrowing and original masterpiece." (Music Web)
Chandos presents the English language recording premiere of Wozzeck, Berg's powerful and fatalistic tragedy, now regarded as one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century opera.
Andrew Shore is renowned for his interpretations of 'character' roles and received tremendous acclaim for his performance in the title role of Wozzeck at Opera North and ENO. Dame Josephine Barstow is one of today's most famous sopranos, known for her thrilling performances of twentieth-century opera roles, including Marie in Wozzeck, also at Opera North.
Paul Daniel and the Philharmonia Orchestra receive consistently excellent reviews in this series, and are aided by a superb cast and theatrical Chandos Sound.
