Berg's 'Wozzeck' conducted by Boulez.

Wozzeck is some dark stuff.

As long as we are acknowledging the great Berg I recently heard the Christine Schäfer performance of Lulu:

If there is one thing to be thankful to Friedrich Cerha for, it's completing the orchestration of the third act in the late 1970s.

I've attended two operas in my life. First time was Magic Flute at CCM (an opera school first and foremost, training ground for the Met) with a coloratura that can't be beat. And a very creative set design. So that was great.

Then, early this century I caught Salome, Richard Strauss based in Oscar Wilde. I wrote a whole screenplay based in it a few years earlier than this. This was fantastic. I knew certain of the music from studies.

I had Britten's records with Peter Pears back in the day. Generally I'd gravitate to the Berg, the two mentioned.

I don't listen to Opera much but every so often I like to return to some of the old favorites, e.g., Don Giovanni, Tristan und Isolde, Rigoletto, Carmen and Boris Godunov.

Berg's Wozzeck and LuLu are 2 of my favorite operas!
IMO Alban Berg is 1 of the most talented and underrated composers in 20th century classical music.
Though it's not opera, Bergs cd -Chamber Concerto & Three Orchestral Pieces, Op. 6 Violin Concerto conducted by Boulez is astonishing!

Peter Grimes is just bonkers good. Much beauty in dissonance.

wtf has happened to the OP - it seems to have morphed into spam? Where did the original post go?
