BRITTEN
Prince of the Pagodas / Bartok - Miraculous Mandarin
BRITTEN
The Prince of the Pagodas: Ballet in three acts Op.57
BARTOK
The Miraculous Mandarin Op.19
The Prince of the Pagodas and The Miraculous Mandarin: both titles suggest Oriental fairy tales, but while Britten set a fantastic scenario for choreographer John Cranko, Bartók controversially evoked and expressionist urban nightmare.
In his variation-based score, Britten salutes Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and the Javanese gamelan.
Bartók, with atonality, complex textures and rhythms, and daring orchestration, illustrates vice and violence as a Chinese mandarin miraculously survives repeated murder attempts, only dying when his lust is assuaged.
