Alban Berg’s Wozzeck, premiered at Lindenoper/
Berlin in 1925, is regarded as
one of the key music compositions of the
20th century and an essential work in any connoisseur’s
collection – Frankfurt Opera, under the
baton of Sebastian Weigle, delivers a razor-sharp
and exciting interpretation. With Audun Iversen
and Claudia Mahnke in the main roles the recording
shows an ideal cast.
