    Information

    Inhalt

    By the time Beethoven composed the overture to Heinrich Joseph von Collinäs “Coriolan” in early 1807, the play had already disappeared from theatre programmes, having first been performed back in 1802. It is not clear from the historical record whether Beethoven’s work was ever performed together with Collin’s tragedy, and the overture tends to be seen as a self-contained concert piece. Beethoven himself conducted it in a number of performances, including at a charity concert held in now-defunct old Burgtheater in 1808. Despite this, the inner conflict experienced by Commander Coriolanus in the original play, as he veers from deliberate thinking to fits of temper and oscillates between determination and doubt, certainly does come across in Beethoven’s music. After a portentous beginning, the driving main theme abruptly breaks off on multiple occasions, reflecting the main character’s inner turmoil.

    Oswald Kabasta (1876–1946) recorded the overture on 1 May 1941 with the Munich Philharmonic, where he had been director of music since 1938. As a conductor, he was particularly committed to performing works according to their original scores. A member of the Nazi Party, Kabasta was dismissed from the Munich Philharmonic in 1945 and banned from practising his profession by the Allied occupation authorities. He committed suicide shortly afterwards.
