Still possessed of a religious connotation in Goethe’s drama, any question requiring a straight answer is now considered a Gretchenfrage. Goethe’s narrative is the most familiar treatment of the Faust story in German-speaking countries, though English playgoers may think first of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, and indeed countless authors, painters and composers have applied themselves to the subject of the historical personality Johann Georg Faust.
The Berlin soprano Annette Dasch went in search of composers who were inspired by the story of Faust, and found what she was looking for in songs and operas by Franz Schubert, Giuseppe Verdi, Robert Schumann, Hector Berlioz and Charles Gounod. On April 3, 2011, in Munich’s Herkulessaal, she applied her considerable vocal resources to the topic, introducing the various works to her audience with charm, wit and insight. It was not the part of Faust that she focused upon but that of his pious sweetheart Gretchen, whom she compared with other desperate female figures in crisis situations. Under the direction of Marc Piollet, the Munich Radio Orchestra never failed to provide the appropriate backdrop for the tales of Gretchen that Annette Dasch told over the course of her one-and-a-half-hour programme.
