Eclipsed by the music of the Second Viennese School, Franz Schreker's musical output is currently undergoing something of a deserved renaissance. Originally on the Marco Polo label, this opera's appearance at super-budget price is to be enthusiastically welcomed. The musical style is late Romantic, rich and pregnant with possibilities. Berg in fact prepared the vocal score for Der ferne Klang, and one can detect seeds of the vocal style of Lulu here (especially in the writing for Grete, who, like Lulu, emerges as a fallen woman). Richard Strauss's operatic vocal lines also spring to mind. More than this, Schreker's complete command of the orchestra means that atmospheres are graphically invoked. The interludes (often excerpted, such as the "Nachstück" on Sinaisky's Schreker disc emerge as much more than links between scenes. Elena Grigorescu is completely at home as Grete, her account heart-rendingly touching. Her lover, Fritz (who leaves her in pursuit of the "distant sound" of the title), is well sung, with exemplary diction by the tenor Thomas Harper, and the cast in general is first-class. Full German text is provided. --Colin Clarke

A lost masterpiece.......2007-07-10

While I did not see Leon Botstein's conducting of Der Ferne Klang this past season, it was recommended to me by someone who had, and having bought this CD I cannot stop recommending it. Schreker was a truly luminous talent in 1920's opera in Germany/Austria, clearly part of a continuum from Strauss, von Franckenstein, and Korngold, to Schreker's pupil Krenek, and Kurt Weill.

Lovely melodies, truly magical orchestrations, a silly but poetic story that is heartbreaking because of its musical treatment.

Don't miss this if you get a chance to hear it (or see it, should there ever be another production).

could be better.......2007-03-08

After this, I bought another version, by far better, the "Capriccio" one.

Forgotten Late Romantic Master and "Degenerate Artist".......2003-01-25

Franz Schreker is one of the many late romantic German and Austrian composers who became victims of the Nazi purge on "degenerate art". Schreker came in for abuse mostly because of some Jewish roots in his family and a penchant for lurid subject matter in his most famous operas. Musically, his operas are no more radical than, say, Strauss' Elektra. But whereas Strauss retreated into a sort of polite neo-classicism tinged with Wagner in his later years, Schreker stayed a basically late-romantic expressionist and this expressionist aspect doomed his music.

Die Ferne Klang is perhaps Schreker's finest opera. The plot involves an artist who abandons his fiance to go in search of "the distant sound" which will allow him to produce the perfect work of art. As the opera progresses, the main character, Fritz, leads a life of gradually increasing desolation and finally death. Of course, on his death bed he finally hears Die Ferne Klange.

The score is in fine expressionist mode, though basically tonal. Schreker was one of the most brilliant orchestrators of the early 20th century and his orchestral palette obviously had an influence on Berg's Lulu. Though the music remains late-romantic in idiom, Schreker lives on the edge of tonality most of the time, sometimes loosing the sense of key center for long stretches, particularly as the main character's life falls more and more apart. Vocal the writing is difficult, though not completely unmelodic. It is rather akin to the vocal writing of Wagner in his most "sturm and drang" mode. There are moments of lovely melodic writing though. Perhaps not as lovely as Strauss, but close.

The performance on this disc is serviceable, though I prefer the older Cappricio disc, both in terms of sound and singers. Unfortunately, the Capriccio disc is now out of print, but this makes a good substitute, if not spectacular. We have yet to get a spectacular recording of this fine opera. Perhaps it's waiting for a more adventurous European company to rediscover it. It's definately worth reviving.

Scary work looks ahead to Bartok as much as back to Strauss.......2001-03-08

Most operas deal with the creation and rupture of unions. 'Der Ferne Klang' opens with a rupture in its opening scene, and an absence, as Fritz, a playwright, leaves his fiancee Grete to seek the mysterious 'ferne klang' (distant sound) that will enable him to create great art. This is the first in a pattern of reversals of traditional opera, that sees Schreker allude to, and invert, famous 'worldly' operas - 'Die Fledermaus', 'Der Rosenkavelier', even 'Die Meistersinger', and especially 'La Traviata' - so that his work ends in union, with life-threatening disease striking the male character for once.

This focus on absence gives the opera a metaphysical frisson that helps it transcend pastiche Richard Strauss. Not that this pastiche isn't expert - the exotic, late Romantic orchestral colouring; the swoops of violence and calms of lyricism; the simultaneous disintegration and affirmation of melody; the self-reflexivity (the hero-artist; the number of stage orchestras).

But there is a supernatural undertow throughout, culminating in the extraordinary Act 2, a frivolous, La Traviata-style society scene breaking down into Purgatorial hysterics; or the sparse, haunting suspense of Act 3. Schreker continually brings his melodic and tonal language to the brink of febrile collapse; if, like Strauss, he pulls back, the threat/promise gives the listener palpitations.

This recording is a little boxy, and the singing often sounds distant, but this somehow adds to the delicious unease of this singular opera.

Magnificent Music Missing Melody.......2000-08-31

Der Ferne Klang is my second exposure to the music of Franz Schreker, the first being his Chamber Symphony. My libretto is German only and since I do not know this language I was unable to appreciate the interplay of text and music. I loved the different orchestrations achieved by this composer. He gets a great deal from the various instruments, at times simply wonderous orchestral coloration. There were moments during the opera (I have now heard it twice) when it seemed as if it were an exercise (and a mighty good one at that) for a master class in orchestration. Yet, when it is over, nothing remains for me except this amorphous annal of arresting music. I think I am rather like Fritz, searching for a sound - in my case - a memorable melody. Alas, I did not find one.

The Vorspiel is the star billing here.......2007-06-18

Some of the Schreker works on this CD were composed early in the composer's career, before he had brought his glittery orchestral style and indeterminate key signatures to to the apex of perfection. For me, the absolute gem in this program is the Vorspiel zu einem Drama (Prelude to a Drama), which is really an extended orchestral introduction to his opera Die Gezeichneten ("The Branded Ones"). When you enter Schreker's special soundworld, it'll transport you to another dimension. I once saw a film version of Hermann Hesse's novel Steppenwolf, and this music would be perfect for portraying the Magic Theatre (the music alone conjures up far more than any visual attempt could convey). Most of the other works are interesting and worth getting to know, but I'd shell out $18 or $20 for this CD on the basis of the 20-minute Vorspiel alone. BTW, Maestro Sinaisky is all over this music in a way that Conlon simply can't match.

Schrekers Schoene Klang.......2000-12-15

Franz Schreker (1878-1934) belongs to that group of Austro-German late-Romantic composers slightly younger than Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler who made their impression, mainly in Vienna, around the turn of the century and later faded into semi-oblivion, overtaken by the so-called Second Viennese School of Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton von Webern. Alexander von Zemlinsky, Engelbert Humperdinck, and Franz Schmidt form up, more or less, in the same ranks; so, although younger, does Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whose sound-world is remarkably similar. The mid-century eclipse of these composers did them no justice, for each merited attention whether he received it from the critics or not. Schreker and the others share a good deal musically: Their idiom stems from Wagner, particularly the Wagner of "Tristan und Isolde." In the case of Schreker, the Wagnerian model manifests itself not just in the idiom but in the orientation to opera. Schreker wrote eight of them. His orchestral oeuvre consists of a Chamber Symphony (1917), which has persisted marginally in the repertory, a number of tone-poems, overtures, and opera preludes and entr'actes reworked for symphonic concerts. The Chamber Symphony suggests that Schreker might have maintained a stronger place in the repertory had he devoted more energy than he did to the orchestral genres. While indebted to Schoenberg, the Chamber Symphony offers a more appealing countenance, with none of the aggressiveness of Schoenberg's own First Chamber Symphony; the instrumentation - which includes a piano, a celesta, a harp, and a harmonium - makes a music that seems to hover, glitter, and glide among the pastels of a moonlit night. Alas, Vassily Sinaisky's program for Chandos excludes the Chamber Symphony, but what it does bring to our attention we ought nevertheless applaud. The most ambitious of these pieces, the "Prelude to a Drama" (1914), approaches the symphonic in scale and complexity; its rondo-like returning Allegro, with its syncopated rhythms, is especially exciting. The "Ekkehard" Overture (1920), takes inspiration from Viktor von Scheffel's similarly titled novel, a tale with a medieval setting about forbidden love, prowess in battle, and service to the Holy Roman Empire. To the huge orchestra, Schreker adds an organ, with its connotation of cathedral and religion. Both Sinaisky's performance and Chandos' sound beat those offered by Edgar Seipenbusch on Marco Polo, for some years the banner-carrier of this music. The CD also offer us the Symphonic Interlude from "Der Schatzgräber" (1920), the "Nachtstück" (1909) from "Der Ferne Klang," and the "Fantastic Overture" (1904). The quality of the playing and the conviction in the interpretations raises this CD far above the other Schreker anthologies, either Seipenbusch's on Marco Polo or Gielen's on Koch-Schwann. I think, finally, that the closest reference-point is Korngold; Schreker's music might have gone over big in Hollywood, had he lived longer, left Europe, and joined the other expatriate music-makers in the Californian New World.

Decadence...........2000-11-17

Chandos has released a CD of music by one of my favorite composers, Franz Schreker. The release contains the Fantastic Overture, Nachtstuck, Prelude to a Drama, Interlude from Der Schatzgraber, Valse Lente, and Ekkehard Overture. These works are performed by the BBC Philharmonic and Vassily Sinaisky. If you like his music and have enjoyed what has come out so far, I can't recommend this new CD highly enough. Are there moments of glitz? Well, ok--a few. Are there moments that sound like Capt. Kirk launching the USS Enterprise out into space with phasers set for "Dolby Surround?" Yes, but this is NOT Schreker's fault--movie composers know effective music when they hear it!

The "Prelude to a Drama" is actually the overture to Die Gezeichneten, expanded for use as a stand-alone concert piece. Sinaisky delivers a performance of exceptional clarity, bringing out the individual lines in climactic moments, which can easily sound like cacophony in other recordings. You will never forget the opening once your hear it.

The real standout on the CD is the Nachtstuck, an interlude from Der ferne Klang. It's rare these days that a moment in music will elicit a "Wow" from me, but the "Nachtstuck" does just that. Oh, how it glows, especially with Chandos' typically luminous sound. Listen specifically from 2'17" to 2'50". I really think the autumnal Mahler would have been jealous of this moment--what a wondrous sound. Is anyone else reminded of Norgard's 3rd at this point as well?

The other substantial piece is the Interlude from Der Schatzgraber. Again, Schreker displays his gift for melody, and supports his lines with some of the most jaw-dropping orchestral effects I have heard. Can anyone make a large orchestra, at full throttle, defy gravity and skip along as though it were playing a Debussy confection as well as Schreker?

The Valse provides a delicate foil to the heavier fare, and I especially like the Straussian

echoes in the Ekkehard overture.

Enjoy!

More Please!.......2000-11-16

Why is it always Chandos that give us orchestral works we can really explore in very good sound and even better performances? Schreker has been in vogue a little for the last 5 or so years and there're some recordings of his orchestral music available (Conlon on EMI, some on MP) but this selection beats them all. If you ever have wondered how Jugenstil could be painted in sound then try this.

Chandos is going to announce a second volume of Schreker's music with the same performers; that's going to be a feast too. Don't forget to explore Schreker's operas on disc. Listen to Die Gezeichneten (London/Decca, still available) and Die Schatzgraber (Capriccio).
