Description:

Berg's "Wozzeck," one of the most important operas of the 20th century, has become a fixture in the repertoire of opera houses around the world. Each scene of "Wozzeck" has a unique style based on classical musical forms, and its meticulous orchestration dramatizes the vivid human drama. Böhm is a master of "Wozzeck," and his mastery of the drama allows him to control the complexities of the work with a clear perspective. This recording won the 1966 French ADF Disc Grand Prize and the Grand Prize of the Recording Academy Award. The lyrics are not included. Universal Music
