Review by Steven Posick

The album Wozzeck by Alban Berg, conducted by Pierre Boulez and performed by the Orchestra and Chorus of the Paris National Opera, is a masterpiece of modern classical music. The album features the exceptional vocal performances of Walter Berry, Isabel Strauss, Fritz Uhl, and Carl Doench.

The album is a stunning rendition of Berg's opera, which tells the story of a soldier, Wozzeck, who is driven to madness and murder by the cruel treatment he receives from his superiors and the woman he loves. The music is haunting and intense, with dissonant harmonies and jarring rhythms that perfectly capture the emotional turmoil of the characters.

The orchestra and chorus are flawless in their execution of Berg's complex score, under the skilled direction of Boulez. The vocal performances are equally impressive, with Berry, Strauss, Uhl, and Doench bringing their characters to life with raw emotion and powerful singing.
