Inhalt: |
Doktor Faust was left incomplete at the time of Busoni's death. Intended as his masterpiece, the opera's genesis was complex and long. Based on Goethe's tragic play, the story of Faust's pact with the devil is weIl known but the opera's structure represents Busoni's unique conception, cast in two Prologues, a beautifuI orchestraI Intermezzo and three scenes. ExpIoring ideas of rationaIity and metaphysical doubt as weIl as the concepts of artifice and pretence inherent in operatic performance, the resuIt is one of the most creative and unsettIing of Busoni's works. |
