Alban Berg's devastating 20th century masterpiece Wozzeck is a complex psychodrama based on the play by Georg Bchner following the harrowing story of a private soldier who having fathered a child by his mistress descends into madness and murder. This highly-acclaimed production of Wozzeck staged by Patrice Chreau and conducted by Daniel Barenboim was recorded live at the Deutsche Oper Berlin in 1994. There is fine singing from Franz Grundheber in the title role and the top-quality cast also includes Waltraud Meier as Marie Graham Clark as Hauptmann Gnter... von Kannen as the Doktor and Mark Baker as the Tambourmajor. Unlike many other productions which take a stark view of the opera Chreau's staging presents a more human view depicting Wozzeck and Marie as the tragic poor battered and exploited by the world because of their position in society.
