Alban Berg – Wozzeck

A chilling, modernist masterpiece of 20th-century opera, Alban Berg’s Wozzeck comes to life in this critically acclaimed recording conducted by Pierre Boulez. Released by CBS Masterworks, this 2×LP box set captures Boulez’s precision and depth with the Orchestra and Chorus of the Paris National Opera and a stellar cast led by Walter Berry and Isabel Strauss.

Praised as “a magnificently balanced and unified presentation” (New Statesman) and “one of the remarkable operatic interpretations of our generation” (The London Times), this recording won the Grand Prix du Disque for its dramatic clarity, modern energy, and emotional power.
