Description:

Wooden Prince/The Miraculous Mandarin by Eugene Ormandy, released 1 May 2019. This version of Wooden Prince/The Miraculous Mandarin comes as a 1xSuper Audio. - HELSINKI P.O./SUSANNA MALKKI

The Wooden Prince and The Miraculous Mandarin are - together with the earlier opera Bluebeard's Castle - the only stage works by Béla Bartók. They stand apart from the more abstract and often more explicitly folk-related character of the music that we primarily associate with the composer. They are nevertheless major achievements that in different ways highlight Bartók's imaginative use of the modern orchestra. Set in an enchanted forest, The Wooden Prince is based on a fairytale-like libretto featuring a prince and princess. The two are subjected to various trials, but at the end of the ballet they are allowed to come together and live - we assume - happily ever after. In stark contrast, The Miraculous Mandarin takes place in an urban brothel where three robbers force a girl to seduce men so that they can overpower and kill them. The subject-matter and the erotic qualities of much of the music caused a scandal at the première in 1926, and for a long time the score was primarily performed in the shorter concert version heard on the present release, the first from the team of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and Susanna Mälkki, the orchestra's chief conductor since 2016.
