Listen to broadcast of concert performance of Wozzeck (1st in England) from Q.H. - by B.B.C. orch & Adrian Boult with Bitterauf as Wozzeck (superb) & May Blyth as Marie (Seemed excellent) & large & efficient cast.* It wasn't very satisfactory as a broadcast - voices too loud, & blurring. Only the third Act (& bits of second) were intelligible. The music of this is extraordinarly striking without the action, while that of the first isn't - except for the exciting march & beautiful little lullaby. The hand of Tristan is over alot of the intense emotion, but Berg emerges a definite personality. |
