Livestream tomorrow : Ernst Krenek Karl V
[…] free to return to Paris with Eleanor as Queen. The third fury represents German nationalism, an issue that greatly vexed Krenek himself, who understood the danger that Nazism would bring as early as the mid 1920's. Just as in Krenek's Jonny speilt auf, there's a black man in Charles V, a deliberate taunt at the Nazis. The fourth spirit connects to the king's personal life. Please see my articles on Krenek's Reisebuch aus den österreichischen Alpen HERE and HERE. Charles's vision of Europe united in a new Pax Romana falls apart. The Church resents his power and can't handle the Protestant threat. Francis proves no ally and breaks Eleanor's heart. What hope has Charles of beating the Turks when he can't count on fellow Catholics? Treachery and intrigue everywhere, Moritz of Saxony, Charles's protégé, betrays him by leading Protestant insurrection. Even on his deathbed, Charles is taunted by his supposed […]

Grosser Saal, Mozarteum Schubert: Der Wanderer, D 649; Der Wanderer an den Mond, D 870; An den Mond, SD 259 Mahler: Lieder eines fahrenden GesellenKrenek: Reisebuch aus den österrichischen Alpen, op.62Florian Boesch (baritone)Malcolm Martineau (piano)There are many ways to wander, not least with one foot in the soil of German Romanticism. Many of us will think of the paintings of Friedrich – now, alas, almost too well known – and of Wotan in Siegfried. Need there be such metaphysical implications? Perhaps, perhaps not; it would be difficult to avoid them completely in a Liederabend. That is not to say, however, that they might not be played with, questioned, even satirised. As Florian Boesch admits, in a booklet interview, it is not easy to know how to programme Ernst Krenek’s Reisebuch aus den österrichischen Alpen. Schubert and Mahler here offered complementary, even dialectical standpoints from which to approach Krenek’s […]

Boesch/Vignoles (Hyperion)Florian Boesch and Roger Vignoles’s performance of Ernst Krenek’s 1929 song cycle at the Wigmore Hall in January 2015 was one of highlights of the last classical year in London. Having their studio recording of this Alpine travelogue available now on CD is a real treat, and confirms Krenek’s cycle as one of the great early modernist additions to the German lieder tradition. From the start, the Reisebuch aus den Österreichischen Alpen is clearly a work composed against the background of that whole tradition. Schubert is obviously the starting point, but, stylistically, the 20 songs span the whole of the 19th and early 20th centuries, colonising the atonal territory of the Second Viennese School as comfortably as they evoke the folk-song settings of an earlier generation.
