Orchestra of Domaine musical, Orchester de Südwestrundfunks de Baden-Baden, Pierre Boulez, Hans Rosbaud

“…in the throes of his love-hate relationship with Schoenberg, Pierre Boulez directs pugnacious accounts of the Serenade and Suite and a high-pressure First Chamber Symphony. An intense Verklärte Nacht is still among the finest, and if Pierrot lunaire can yield more expressive light and shade, the recitation of Helga Pilarczyk has lost little in immediacy. Webern was of especial importance to Boulez at this time: performances of the Symphony and Cantatas have an eloquent poise, while Yvonne Loriod maps out emotional tension in the Variations with an unerring rightness and largely eschews rhetoric in Berg's Sonata.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2006

This set shows the so-called bogey-men of the Second Viennese School, from their hyper Romantic height, through Expressionism and onto the more entertaining aspects of Serialism, as entertainers of a great order. The Nineteenth-Century heritage of Schubert, Brahms and Wagner are never far from Schoenberg, Berg and Webern in these 8 CDs, which concentrate on the earlier, more approachable (and often finest) products of three distinct composers, rather than any school. The performers reflect the composers' Romantic leanings here; Sinopoli bringing in artists at the height of their early careers: Deborah Voigt, Alessandra Marc and Juliane Banse.

The ever-approachable Berg is seen at his kindest and Webern, a figure who looked as far back as he did forward is as finely tuned in Im Sommerwind as in the Op.21 Symphony – a simply and fascinating journey. Schoenberg is in full splendour, too. Sounding more like Mahler's heir than a prophet of total change.

“In his highly compelling live recording, Sinopoli conducts a most sensuous reading of Gurrelieder, bringing out all it’s romantic voluptuousness… anyone who has ever thought of Schoenberg as cold should certainly hear this, magnetic from first to last…" Penguin Guide ***

“It would be hard to imagine more romantic readings of Berg’s principal orchestral works than those under Giuseppe Sinopoli. The atonal arguments of Berg have never been presented more sinuously, cocooning the ear, helped by sumptuous playing and recording” Penguin Guide ***
