"Wozzeck", one of Kegel's representative opera works, recorded live on April 9, 1973, has been improved in sound quality. "Wozzeck" began in 1914 by writing the libretto himself, and after a few years of hiatus, composition resumed in 1917 and was finally completed in 1922. This year (2022) is exactly 100 years old. The premiere was first performed by Scherchen in 1924 with "Three Fragments" (this time, Kegel's performance was recorded in the margin of "Moses and Aron" (0302846BC) at the same time), and all the songs were staged in 1925 by E. .Done by Kleiber. It is considered to be a very difficult work to perform, and is well known for being a piece that emphasizes the quality of performance.
This recording is a full-fledged performance by the entire cast, including Kegel and the Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra. It is surprising that this difficult-to-play piece, which was composed and calculated without a single gap, was recorded live at the time, but it was performed with amazing concentration and perfection, and it is a record. Not only that, it is also amazing that it is engraved in the recording history as one of the best performances among the many recordings of this song. The quality of the singers and choruses is also high, and the recording itself, which was recorded by the broadcasting station and retains the atmosphere of the time, is excellent, so it is finished at a level that is comparable to high-quality sound. Above all, the rigorous atmosphere and tension that transcends the performance techniques of the former East Germany at that time are fully conveyed, and I am amazed at Kegel's fierce conducting. In addition, in response to the work, the madness of the performance is overflowing with a sense of despair, so it is certain that listening to it all requires a great deal of determination. It can be said that it was a performance in the former East Germany at that time and in the area where Kegel was established, and in that sense it can be said that it is a performance that sets it apart from other competing boards. In addition, all 85 minutes of the sound source, which was recorded in a set of 2 on the conventional CD, was recorded on 1 CD this time. It seems that there are almost no discs that can fit all the songs of "Wozzeck" on one disc, so this time we also emphasized the merit of listening to all the songs at once. Please fully enjoy the content unique to this song, the high-energy singers and the four-winded large orchestra, with Kegel's performance that makes you feel a sense of fear.
