Boulez unravels the enormous score with penetrating precision, the pinnacle of fin-de-siècle romance.
Boulez, leading the BBC Symphony Orchestra and a group of renowned singers, recreates Schoenberg's greatest early cantata with calm construction and crystal clear sound, completing this important recording that combines the intense emotion of late Romanticism with the beginnings of Modernism.
This is a complete recording of "Gurrelieder," in which Boulez led the BBC Symphony Orchestra and a powerful ensemble of soloists. The performance, which combines the intense emotion and vast orchestration of late Romanticism with a unique clarity and analytical precision, is a masterpiece. Jess Thomas's powerful voice as Waldemar, Marita Napier's clear expression as Tove, and Yvonne Minton's profound narration of the wooden dove breathe life into every detail, while Günther Reich's narrator provides dramatic focus for the development of the third act. While inheriting a post-Wagnerian sound, the album also clearly foreshadows the avant-garde movement that followed, capturing the essence of Boulez's interpretation.
