About

The Austrian composer Gottfried von Einem played a major role in rebuilding his country’s music scene after 1945, following the devastating cultural policies of Austrofascism that were particularly hostile to modern trends. Der Prozess (The Trial) is his second opera; the libretto is based on the novel by Franz Kafka. Von Einem's music is frequently characterised by catchy thematic and melodic ideas, sharply accentuated rhythms, dance-like vigour and a marked variety of timbre, qualities that are all present in Der Prozess. The opera’s first performance was given at the Salzburg Festival in 1953. This audio recording, from the 2018 Salzburg Festival, is conducted by HK Gruber, himself a composer and former student of von Einem.

Reviews

July 2019

The new recording comes from concert performances at least year’s Salzburg Festival celebrating the composer’s centenary. It’s led with great gusto and accuracy by one of his leading pupils…The singing cast is strong and accurate too.

June 2019

Effectively captures the darkness and labyrinthine world of ‘The Trial’.

December 2019

The opera bursts with musical riches, so it’s astonishing to realize that it has never, until now, been recorded for commercial release...The standout performer among the recording’s highly capable cast is Michael Laurenz. Most of the other singers play several roles, but he has just one: Josef K...he brings to the role great variety, including a compelling sense of agitation.
