  • The ending is, by far, one of Schoenberg's most moving musical statements. Moses returns from the mountain to find the Hebrews have adopted a false god, an idol, and he destroys the commandments God gave him. In the end, he sits alone and decries his lack of the ability to move people with an image. All he possesses is the idea and God's commandments. His final words, "Oh Words, that I lack" is perhaps the saddest moment in the opera, and the place where he stopped. Soon, he would leave Germany

  • I saw this the last time I was in Vienna. I had heard this opera only once before, and I must admit it doesn't really say much to me. It was a well deserved triumph though! I really like Moser's voice, Gatti was amazing and the choir nothing less than flawless. I loved the golden calf scene! A very good show indeed, thanks for sharing.

  • Schoenberg was clearly a troubled man, but his genius trumps his personal issues. I love all of his music!
