Ferenc Erkels (1810-1893) populärste Oper „Hunyadi László“
(von 1844) setzt sich inhaltlich mit einem tragischen Moment
der ungarischen Geschichte auseinander: Der junge
Adelige László Hunyadi opponiert gegen die Fremdbestimmung
seiner Heimat und wird nach Verleumdungen am
Hofe hingerichtet. Erkel verband bei dieser ersten ungarischen
Nationaloper heimische Werbungsmusik, eine Art
Militärmusik, wie sie Brahms in den „Ungarischen Tänzen“
bekannt machte, mit Einflüssen der italienischen Oper Rossinis.
Die vorliegende Aufnahme beinhaltet die lange Zeit vergessene Originalfassung der Oper; ein rein ungarisches Ensemble bürgt für Kompetenz und Authentizität. Die Aufnahmen entstanden 2012 im Erkel-Theater in Budapest; das Booklet enthält eine Zusammenfassung der Handlung.
Only two years after joining the Hungarian Theatre of Pest as its director (which was only a few months after it was established), the young Ferenc Erkel staged his own opera, Bátori Mária, the first composed to a Hungarian libretto and which effectively transformed the theatre into a national symbol. Nevertheless, the work itself did not yet fit the category of ‘national’, neither in its theme nor in its music. Spurring the acceleration of events in Hungarian theatrical life, it paved the way for Erkel’s next opera, Hunyadi László, based on a libretto by the contemporary writer, actor and composer Béni Egressy. It was with this work that the Hungarian musical drama was at last born. Hunyadi László’s text focuses on a tragic moment in Hungarian history, captured through the fate of the Hunyadi family and which gave the nation a hero of European significance for his role in the wars against the Ottomans. László Hunyadi does not triumph; he hopes, dreams and suffers, and his yearning for happiness and independence struck a chord with a nation that had been living under the yoke of foreign powers for 300 years. By 1884 the work had been performed an astounding 250 times at the National Theatre, and its musical material and later insertions – as performed in the era of the premiere – remained in use until 1927. After 1935 it was greatly revised, its libretto modernised and the scenes reduced down to three acts. This 2012 recording – led by the then newly appointed music director of the Hungarian State Opera Domonkos Héja, who has done much to promote the music of the country’s great nationalist composer – sees the performers return to the original version, which, in spite of its archaic style and oft-criticised clumsiness, talks in a more authentic manner about the era that created the national opera and made Hunyadi László an integral part of the identity of Hungarian audiences.
