Berg: Wozzeck (HQ) - 1970 film version [English Subtitles] 

I discovered this piece listening to Alban Berg Op #3... Berg , I liked his counterpoint writing a tapestry of layers interacting in patterns like a fine woven quilt... I listened to the opera Wozzeck before watching the movie... Now understanding the theme , I will continue listening to this piece of art in my mind, placing the theatrics together with much enjoyment...Thankyou much!!!😊

The fear and the pain and the misery that life brings is transformed into the most heart rending music that any human being could imagine. Thank you Maestro Alban Berg!

Undisputably one of the operatic masterpieces of the 20th century. Berg had a deep understanding for Büchners play and the tragedy that unfolds in the first moment grips me so firm that I cannot escape it. The structure Berg chose is phenomenal, who would come up with the idea of creating an interlude at the end of the story, followed by such devastating 2 minutes of truth and mental emptiness?

I have been listening to this opera since at least 1988 and not only does it get better every time, but even after 32 years of continued listening I am still discovering new re-appearances of the motives buried in the orchestration!

Very powerful performances. Berg is the master of atonal opera. I love this and Lulu. Together, they make powerful impacts.

The last scene with the children hits me the most.

what an incredible work. Not only is the score beautifully composed, the cinematography and performance in general is exceptional. Studying this piece right now in a class and this was the perfect version to watch.

The genius of Berg’s music and a stunning production

In a way Wozzeck carries on where Strauss left off after Salome and Elektra. Strauss "stepped back from the brink" with Rosenkavalier and handed the baton he'd created to Berg. To me there are clear similarities. And BTW, I love both Strauss and Berg!

haunting orchestration, dread, beautiful music i feel like compelling depiction of horror is hard to find in opera, but wozzeck accomplishes this for me

Bin begeistert, braaaaaaavooooò! Danke an alle, die fūr diese Produktion grade standen. Daaankeeee!

Maderna at his best in Wozzeck. Great performance of this masterpiece in a film version.

Pobre Wozzeck, maldita sociedad, y esa escena final con el niño que queda a la merced del mundo... la música serialista es increíble, de toda la música es la que mejor capturo la verdadera esencia del espíritu humano que va siempre a un ritmo angustioso y decadente... Pienso que la música anterior como la romántica o la barroca no hace sino reflejar lo que anhelamos o lo que vivimos a nivel individual, el serialismo capta con exactitud todas las locuras humanas.

Now that has to be one of the best video adaptation of an opera! Simply wonderful visuals :)

The epitome of operatic creation... loved learning about sprechgesang in this!

orchestra gives voice at what the audience should feel in front at such a drama.

Brilliant! I've only heard the music, never seen the opera performed. many thanks!

Wonderful --the best and most exciting Opera of the 20th century !

This is coming to Covent Garden in May 2023 where I'm sure it will go down well with the audience. I'm not sure it's us there are so many rival pieces bidding for our attention. I'm quite happy with the concept and it is very well done maybe in a year or two I'll come around.

to moje ulubione nagranie ze wszystkich jakie mogłem wysłuchać, a było tego sporo, Bruno Maderna rozumie Berga, tak jak Michel Gielen Schoenberga. Bardzo lubię słuchać Waltera Berry jako Wozzecka...

I once watched the entirety of the Exorcist, and was barely scared afterwards. I watched 45 minutes of this opera, and had a hard time sleeping this night.

A riveting performance of a truly great work. How petty beside this are the majority of 19c romantic operas.

would love to see a modern day version of this

I normally don't like opera, but I do really like WWI era classical music (and visual art and literature), so this was quite enjoyable.

Kurt Moll and Franz Grundheber are total scene stealers. WOW!

Wozzack: "Time to deal with this wife." *stab* "Time to deal with this knife." *chuck* "Time to deal with this life." *drowns*

Even after over forty years of acquaintance, I never tire of this production. On of the best Wozzecks ever!! Maderna conducts the work with a complete grasp of its structure and, although all the acting is far about the usual operatic norm, Unger's performance as the Captain is dramatic perfection. He never resorts to reducing the character to an empty caricature...like Graham Clark in the MET video and most others.....even Gerhard Stolze can't resist the temptation in his highly thought of recording. The understated performance of Albert Weikenmaier on the Boulez recording is preferable. There's a wonderful Italian sung version with Hugues Cuneod doing an equally great job....as does Horst Hiestermann on Kegel's admirable recording.

The interlude, so powerful.

Absolute masterpiece!

If someone asks me why I still use RU-vid, despite all the infantilizing garbage and propagandizing outrage content, I will point out that there are magnifcient historic masterpieces such as this one and one can FIND them! THANK YOU!!!!

Good idea to do a cinematic version. [ the music is brilliant and I can not add anything except compliments ]

The ending 🥺

Wozzeck: Toni Blankenheim, baritone Marie: Sena Jurinac, soprano Drum Major: Richard Cassilly, tenor Andres: Peter Haage, tenor Captain: Gerhard Unger, tenor Doctor: Hans Sotin, bass Workman I: Kurt Moll, bass Workman II: Franz Grundheber, baritone Idiot: Kurt Marschner, tenor Margret: Elisabeth Steiner, contralto Marie's son: Martina Schumacher, treble Act 1 Scene 1 (Suite) Wozzeck is shaving the Captain who lectures him on the qualities of a "decent man" and taunts him for living an immoral life. Wozzeck slavishly replies, "Jawohl, Herr Hauptmann" ("Yes sir, Captain") repeatedly to the Captain's abuse. However, when the Captain scorns Wozzeck for having a child "without the blessing of the Church", Wozzeck protests that it is difficult to be virtuous when he is poor, but entreats the Captain to remember the lesson from the gospel, "Lasset die Kleinen zu mir kommen!" ("Suffer the little children to come unto me," Mark 10:14). The Captain is confounded by Wozzeck's theological knowledge and anxiously squeaks, "What do you mean? And what sort of curious answer is that? You make me quite confused!" After Wozzeck continues the discussion by positing that it would be easy to be moral, if only he were wealthy; and that, if the poor ever "got to Heaven, we'd all have to manufacture thunder!" The flustered Captain, unable to comprehend Wozzeck, finally concedes that he is "a decent man, only you think too much!" The Captain concludes the discussion, saying it has "quite fatigued" him and again chides Wozzeck to walk slowly before finally exiting. Scene 2 (Rhapsody and Hunting Song) Wozzeck and Andres are cutting sticks as the sun is setting. Wozzeck has frightening visions and Andres tries unsuccessfully to calm him. Scene 3 (March and Lullaby) A military parade passes by outside Marie's room. Margret taunts Marie for flirting with the soldiers. Marie shuts the window and proceeds to sing a lullaby to her son. Wozzeck then comes by and tells Marie of the terrible visions he has had, promptly leaving without seeing their son, much to Marie's dismay. She laments about being poor. Scene 4 (Passacaglia) The Doctor scolds Wozzeck for not following his instructions regarding diet and behavior. However, when the Doctor hears of Wozzeck's mental aberrations, he is delighted and congratulates himself on the success of his experiment. Scene 5 (Rondo) Marie admires the Drum Major outside her room. He makes advances to her, which she first rejects but then accepts after a short struggle. Act 2 Scene 1 (Sonata-Allegro) Marie is telling her child to go to sleep while admiring earrings which the Drum Major gave her. She is startled when Wozzeck arrives and when he asks where she got the earrings, she says she found them. Though not convinced, Wozzeck gives her some money and leaves. Marie chastises herself for her behavior. Scene 2 (Fantasia and Fugue on 3 Themes) The Doctor rushes by the Captain in the street, who urges him to slow down. The Doctor then proceeds to scare the Captain by speculating what afflictions may strike him. When Wozzeck comes by, they insinuate that Marie is being unfaithful to him. Scene 3 (Largo) Wozzeck confronts Marie, who does not deny his suspicions. Enraged, Wozzeck is about to hit her, when she stops him, saying even her father never dared lay a hand on her. Her statement "better a knife in my belly than your hands on me" plants in Wozzeck's mind the idea for his subsequent revenge. Scene 4 (Scherzo) Among a crowd, Wozzeck sees Marie dancing with the Drum Major. After a brief hunter's chorus, Andres asks Wozzeck why he is sitting by himself. An Apprentice delivers a drunken sermon, then an Idiot approaches Wozzeck and cries out that the scene is "Lustig, lustig...aber es riecht ...Ich riech, ich riech Blut!" ("joyful, joyful, but it reeks...I smell, I smell blood"). Scene 5 (Rondo) In the barracks at night, Wozzeck, unable to sleep, is keeping Andres awake. The Drum Major comes in, intoxicated, and rouses Wozzeck out of bed to fight with him. Act 3 Scene 1 (Invention on a Theme) In her room at night, Marie reads to herself from the Bible. She cries out that she wants forgiveness. Scene 2 (Invention on a Single Note (B)) Wozzeck and Marie are walking in the woods by a pond. Marie is anxious to leave, but Wozzeck restrains her. As a blood-red moon rises, Wozzeck becomes determined that if he can't have Marie, no one else can, and he stabs her. Scene 3 (Invention on a Rhythm) People are dancing in a tavern. Wozzeck enters, and upon seeing Margret, dances with her and pulls her onto his lap. He insults her, and then asks her to sing him a song. She sings, but then notices blood on his hand and elbow; everyone begins shouting at him, and Wozzeck, now agitated and obsessed with his blood, rushes out of the tavern. Scene 4 (Invention on a Hexachord) Having returned to the murder scene, Wozzeck becomes obsessed with the thought that the knife he killed Marie with will incriminate him, and throws it into the pond. When the blood-red moon appears again, Wozzeck, fearing that he has not thrown the knife far enough from shore and also wanting to wash away the blood staining his clothing and hands, wades into the pond and drowns. The Captain and the Doctor, passing by, hear Wozzeck moaning and rush off in fright. Interlude (Invention on a Key (D minor)) This interlude leads to the finale. Scene 5 (Invention on an Eighth-Note moto perpetuo, quasi toccata) Next morning, children are playing in the sunshine. The news spreads that Marie's body has been found, and they all run off to see, except for Marie's little boy, who after an oblivious moment, follows after the others.

What an absolute gem this is! Thank you for uploading this excellent version of Wozzeck!

Such a masterpiece.

just when you hear that is atonal you stop hearing it actually, otherwise is an indisputable masterpiece of expressionism

Belle interprétation puissante !

The 3th cene has a beautiful melody! Even people that don't like atonal peaces could enjoy that... Sena Jurinac did a great job given that cene a more settle interpretation (Vocally speacking), you can enjoy the every pianissimo.

thank you very much for this video.

Phenomenal.

Absolutely Ingeniously!

Just love it.

My music theory professor showed us this film in class today. Now “Hopp Hopp” is our new running gag for the semester.😂

43:40 Wozzeck gently whispered to his kid and gave Marie all of his money.....I just feel so sad...

Thank you!!

This is generally so good, it's disappointing that some things go unrealized, especially the time of day in the 2nd and 3rd scenes. Clearly Wozzeck sees the red setting sun and hallucinates the world is on fire. And Andres specifically says the sun has set and it's getting dark. But, not here. Later, Marie remarks that it's dark both outside and in her little room, but again... it isn't. When so much else seems meticulously coordinated with the score and the text, such things stand out even more. Also, wish there were simply a fade to a moment of black after the 5th scene, to observe visually the break between act one and the beginning of act two. And still more grievously, in the final act, where Marie is murdered, she and Wozzeck remark on how dark it is, how red the moon is, etc. But, it's clearly not. And later as Wozzeck searches for the knife the redness of the moon is again ignored, and he wanders into the pond clearly in bright daylight. It also makes the remarks later by the Captain rather pointless and contradictory. And meditating on the pond, in clear daylight, during the great d-minor final interlude... well, it just makes little sense. Still, greatly better than most other available versions, and certainly better than the Met's Kentridge production which violates most everything in both score and libretto.

Sound of a century.

sooooOOO demented... love it

I am not a big opera fan but this looks like a good production.

ich bin nicht deutsche und deutsch ist nicht mein muttersprach aber ich hatte viel spaß mit diese oper es ist mein erste deutsche oper und nicht die letzten.

1:17:37 I love this leitmotif

On se rend compte å présent que cette musique, précisément parce qu'elle est å la fois atonale, mais dans une grande liberté, par rapport aux contraintes de techniques rigides comme dans le serialisme ou autre...garde un pouvoir expressif extraordinaire et passe l'épreuve du temps avec toujours autant de force.

what a high quality version of Wozzeck!!! i wonder whether i can share it to the Chinese website

17:35 Never knew that someone could make a grimdark Disney scene, but I'm not complaining.

This Opera is a musical mental breakdown.

51:16 this scene is so frightening, the doctor scares the hell out of me. Poor Wozzeck.

I dont know what scene is best following next and next each scene?

David from Die Meistersinger.

Why does Sena Jurinac *sing* the sprechgesang in the reading scene? It spoils what should have been a poignant moment.

Start at 20.00

¡Voy a hacer mi adaptación de Woyzeck!

the opera equivalent to the joker movie lol

Chuck Norris’s ear training 101 class.

cool

Is this a film version of the entire opera, or has it been abridged?

9:32 some folks call it a sling blade.

It's ok. Good singing. But listen to Boulez if you really want this full force. The scene at the pond should have had a blood red moon and a bloody pond. No puppets at the end thankyou.

A prelude to The Great War: You can literally hear Europe coming apart (Selbstmord)

The composer Rolf Liebermann is mentioned as involved in this production. Do you know in what capacity?

Does anyone know where this was filmed?

Blankenheim is the best Wozzeck after Tito Gobbi.
