Wozzeck

Album by Alban Berg & Philharmonia Orchestra & Paul Daniel

Wozzeck is an opera by Austrian composer Alban Berg, completed in 1922 and premiered in 1925. An expressionist work that employs atonal and highly chromatic writing, incisive orchestration and speech-inflected vocal lines to convey psychological intensity, it represents a pivotal early-career work that helped establish Berg's role in early 20th-century musical modernism.
First released: 14th April 2003
