Boult had led the UK premiere of Berg’s excoriating setting of Georg Büchner’s play about a war-scarred veteran driven to madness and murder in 1934, although only Act II of that performance survives. This complete 1949 recording with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Heinrich Nillius’s Wozzeck and Suzanne Danco’s Marie – only the second UK performance – adds to Boult’s and the opera’s stature on disc. Recorded live in London’s Royal Albert Hall, it is a remarkable document of an exhilarating performance.Boult’s pioneering championing of ‘new’ music is also heard in his recording of Stravinsky’s Capriccio, with the BBC SO and the prodigiously gifted Australian Noel Mewton-Wood taking the piano line.TracksCD1Alban Berg (1885-1935)Wozzeck, Op. 7, Act IScene 1: The Captain’s Room (8:25)Scene 2: An Open Field Outside the Town (6:33)Scene 3: Marie’s Room (7:54)Scene 4: The Doctor’s Study (7:20)Scene 5: Street Before Marie’s Door (3:12)Act IIScene 1: Marie’s Room (5:05)Scene 2: Street in Town (8:35)Scene 3: Street Before Marie’s Door (3:14)Scene 4: Tavern Garden (10:16)Scene 5: Guardroom in the Barracks (4:48)CD2Act IIIScene 1: Marie’s Room (4:56)Scene 2: Forest Path by the Pool (4:26)Scene 3: A Low Tavern (2:42)Scene 4: Forest Path by a Pool (4:42)Orchestral Interlude – Adagio (3:22)Scene 5: Street Before Marie’s Door (1:41)Sir Adrian Boult recalls his years with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, in conversation with Bernard Keeffe (9:17)Igor StravinskyCapriccio (16:54)I.
