5.0 out of 5 stars The first DVD of one very important opera, 16 Dec 2007
Arnold Schoenberg composed Moses und Aron when he was at the most high compositional maturity . He began a new compositional technique more than ten years before . And really I think that this opera is one of the principal works he composed and the most fascinating dodecaphonic music. Moses und Aron is in the top of the operas of the twentieth century, with Pelleas et Melisande by Debussy, Salomé and Elektra by Strauss and Woozeck and Lulu by Berg. I believe that the time of Moses und Aron arrived, and the first DVD of this magnificent score must be commemorate .Fortunately the performance recorded here is very good. I hoped that the versions of the Metropolitan opera from New York and the production of the Amsterdam opera could be the first DVD of this opera . But the surprise is that this version is by far superior: like Georg Solti, the conductor here is not one specialist of Schoenberg, and this gave more impact in the dramatic sense .I believe that Boulez , in his two recordings , made one mistake conducting this opera without drama. Gatti make this opera sound with all we can expect from one dramatic music.
Grundheber ,that was a fantastic Wozzeck with Abbado , is superb here. Thomas Moser sings Aron like a beautiful music. Thomas Moser is comparable with Langridge ,one interpreter fantastic in the famous recording conducted by Solti . The orchestra, the two chorus and all the soloists play this music with the same fluidity of Mozart , Brahms and Mahler. The mise en scene is too very good . The costumes , the sets and the scenic idea work very well. I'm very happy with this DVD. Finally we can see this opera and hear the music played with a masterful performance .

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine performance of Schoenberg's incomplete opera, 24 Aug 2008
By pointone (Bournemouth UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Schoenberg completed the first two acts of the opera in 1932 but the third act was still not composed nineteen years later when he died.

The first act resembles an oratorio where Moses (Thomas Moser) attempts in faltering Sprechstimme to teach the meaning of god. In the second act the Jews are waiting for the return of Moses from the mount and looking back to their old gods.

Aron (Grundheber) averts their wrath by presenting them with the calf of gold, and the oratorio then turns into an opera with the adoration of the calf.

The text of the third act is read by Thomas Moses in the excellent documentary on the opera and the performance

This fine modern costume production does the work justice with dedicated singing from both principals and fine orchestra support under Gatti.
