      Krenek: Jonny Spielt Auf - Ernst Krenek

      Album Details

      Dive into the revolutionary world of Ernst Krenek with his groundbreaking opera "Jonny Spielt Auf," a seminal work that captivated audiences across Europe and New York upon its debut in 1927. This two-part opera, composed during Krenek's tenure at the Stadttheater Kassel, is a testament to the artistic freedom and innovation of the Weimar Republic. With its unique blend of classical, jazz, atonal, and tonal elements, "Jonny Spielt Auf" stands as a pioneering piece in the opera repertoire.

      The opera, which spans over two hours, is a rich tapestry of scenes that weave together a compelling narrative. From the enchanting opening scenes set against the backdrop of a beautiful mountain to the dramatic and humorous exchanges between characters, each track offers a glimpse into the vibrant and tumultuous world of the 1920s. The opera's success was meteoric, with 421 performances in its first season alone, making it the most successful stage work of the Weimar era after Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera."

      Despite its initial acclaim, "Jonny Spielt Auf" faced controversy and was eventually banned as "degenerate art" under the Nazi regime in 1933. However, its legacy endured, and it has since been recognized as a masterpiece of chamber music. This 2011 release by Decca Music Group Ltd. brings the opera to life with a meticulous recording that captures the essence of Krenek's vision. With a duration of 2 hours and 10 minutes, this album is a comprehensive exploration of Krenek's genius, featuring 33 tracks that span the entirety of the opera's two parts.

      "Jonny Spielt Auf" is not just an opera; it is a historical and cultural artifact that reflects the spirit of its time. The opera's themes of love, ambition, and the clash between tradition and modernity resonate deeply, making it a timeless piece of art. Whether you are a seasoned opera enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience. Immerse yourself in the world of Ernst Krenek and discover the enduring power of "Jonny Spielt Auf."
