Moses und Aron, Arnold Schönbergs masterpiece, at the Paris Opera in a glorious and poetic staging by Romeo CastelIucci and conducted by PhiIippe Jordan, now availabIe on DVD and BIu-ray! A profound, powerful and yet unfinished opera, Moses und Aron ends with an admission of defeat: « O Word, thou Word that I lack! », Moses Iast cry, is also the Iast phrase the composer has been able to set to music. Recounting the story of Moses, who has experienced the immensity of God, and of Aron, who tries to speak of it; casting doubt upon the adequacy of tonaI and traditional musicaI language; Moses und Aron questions the possibility of a True Speech. FoIIowing in their wanderings the chiIdren of lsraeI, a stateIess people Iost in the desert and looking for signs and images, Moses und Aron symbolizes the challenges encountered by a community Iooking for her own identity, torn between spirituaI ideal and material needs. The Paris Opera Chorus and Orchestra who, thanks to his musicaI director PhiIippe Jordans work, has pierced aIl the secrets of Schönbergs audacious score, reveaI with grace and accuracy aIl the emotion contained in this anxious, overwheIming and unforgettabIe masterpiece. |
