Title: Chalk Circle / Der Kreidekreis
Artist: Zemlinsky
Label: Capriccio
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 845221051901
Genre: Classical, Opera/Operetta
Release Date: 2013-10-29
Number of Discs: 2
The old Chinese drama of courtroom and customs was usable only as raw material. In it's original version it is a fairly dull, wooden affair, handled extremely clumsily from the dramatic point of view. It is in effect inventing a Chinese fairy-tale. No strict Chinoiserie: it had to be as if in a dream of China. Klabund (1925) Two years after the death of Klabund, Zemlinsky decided to use his Chalk circle as the basis for an opera. He recast the five-act 'play after the Chinese' first into a two-act, later into a three-act version, and composed his Chalk circle in 1931/32. This blend of a fairy-tale Utopia, social criticism and inwardness makes itself felt in Zemlinsky's music, which seeks to combine varied stylistic components: Chinese coloration appears in the orchestral scoring, which is enriched with gongs and other exotic-sounding instruments: The melody often avoids semi tonal steps and so takes on a pentatonic character. It was the seventh and also his last completed opera, from which the then 61-year-old Zemlinsky hoped for the definitive breakthrough as an operatic dramatist.
