Othmar Schoeck (1886-1957) - Penthesilea (live) - Gerd Albrecht







































Penthesilea

Oper in einem Aufzug op. 39
nach dem trauerspiel von Heinrich von Kleist
-opname 1982 -

"Schoeck's one-act opera, Penthesilea is an astonishing and masterly score. It seems barely credible that a work so gripping in its dramatic intensity, and so powerful in atmosphere, should be so rarely performed and so little known. It has the listener on the edge of the seat throughout its 80 short minutes and, like any great opera, it casts a spell long after the music has ended. In the Grove Dictionary of Opera, Ronald Crichton wrote that ''at its most intense, the language of Penthesilea surpasses in ferocity Strauss's Elektra, a work with which it invites comparison''. In so far as it is a one-act work, set in the Ancient World, highly concentrated in feeling and with strongly delineated characters, it is difficult not to think of Strauss's masterpiece. Yet its sound-world is quite distinctive. Vaughan Williams once spoke of originality as the power to make a C major chord sound new, citing the example of Sibelius. Though he is a lesser figure, Schoeck similarly renders the familiar language of Straussian opera entirely his own. The vocabulary is not dissimilar yet the world is different.

We are immediately plunged into a vivid and completely individual world, packed with dramatic incident: off-stage war cries and exciting, dissonant trumpet calls. There is an almost symphonic handling of pace, but the sonorities are unusual: for example, there is a strong wind section, some ten clarinets at various pitches, while there are only a handful of violins; much use is made of two pianos in a way that at times almost anticipates Britten. The present performance emanates from the 1982 Salzburg Festival; Helga Dernesch in the title-role commands the appropriate range of emotions as Penthesilea and the remainder of the cast, including the Achilles of Theo Adam, rise to the occasion. The important choral role and the orchestral playing under Gerd Albrecht are eminently committed and the recording is good without being state-of-the-art. There is a useful essay and libretto, though in German, not English or French. However, since the action is drawn from the Iliad this should hardly present problems. Schoeck was only a few years older than his better-known compatriots Frank Martin and Arthur Honegger, yet has never gained the recognition accorded to them. Let us hope that this issue advances his cause. It is a marvellous opera recommended with all possible enthusiasm." - Gramophone

Emmara isn't currently included in any flavor texts,
but her role in the Magic: the Gathering novels has made her
important enough to finally get printed. Not only
was the animation spectacular but also the controls gave way to new fronts in game play, making the player choose
the correct gesture to make at the right moment.
It was with Double Dragon that Technos started its signature artistic style of big-headed cartoon-like characters doing serious things, and was a
game into which Tradewest poured the foundation for their beat-'em-up legacy.
