Berg / Schoenberg
“Dohnányi, with refined textures and superb playing from the Vienna Philharmonic, presents an account of Wozzeck that not only is more accurate than any other on record but is more beautiful. With superb digital sound the Decca set stands as first choice. Eberhard Waechter… gives a thoughtful, sensitive performance. The edge of Anja Silja’s voice and her natural vibrancy of character make her a memorable Marie. An excellent supporting cast too, and the recording has a spectacular sense of presence and clarity; it also comes with a substantial coupling in Schoenberg’s monodrama, Erwartung, also with Silja.
