Konzertante Aufführung auf Basis der Urfassung

Dies ist die wohl ursprünglichste Porgy & Bess-Interpretation: Harnoncourt instrumentiert mit original afrikanischen Trommeln und der Arnold-Schönberg-Chor musste den »Galla«-Dialekt einstudieren – zwei Beispiele für die Authentizität, die er mit dem Chamber Orchestra of Europe zelebriert.

Reviews

FonoForum 01/10: "Harnoncourt und eine engagierte Sängerriege inklusive des exzellenten Arnold-Schoenberg-Chors lassen es auch hier rauschen, jubeln, klagen, tanzen und swingen."
