Schoenberg - Verklärte Nacht Op4 Chamber Symphony Op9
Review by Thomas Wilson
Verklärte Nacht Op4 Chamber Symphony Op9 by Schoenberg is an exceptional album that showcases the composer's mastery of the chamber symphony genre. The album features two of Schoenberg's most renowned works, "Verklärte Nacht Op. 4" and "Chamber Symphony Op. 9," both of which are known for their complex harmonies and innovative use of tonality.
The album's opening track, "Verklärte Nacht Op. 4," is a hauntingly beautiful piece that tells the story of a couple's emotional journey through a moonlit forest. The music is rich and expressive, with Schoenberg's use of dissonance and chromaticism adding a sense of tension and drama to the piece.
The second track, "Chamber Symphony Op. 9," is equally impressive, with its intricate counterpoint and intricate use of instrumentation. The music is complex and challenging, requiring the listener's full attention to appreciate its many nuances and subtleties.

About Schoenberg
Austrian composer and painter, best known as the (putative) innovator of the twelve-tone technique. Leader of the Second Viennese School.
Starting from the exasperated Wagnerian chromatism of the Tristan with the sextet for strings "Verklärte Nacht" Op. 4 of 1899, the symphonic poem "Pelleas und Melisande" Op.5 of 1903 and the cantata "Die Gurrelieder"( 1900-1911), he reached the total decomposition and liquidation of the Tonality and Harmony with the "Three Pieces for Piano" Op 11 of 1909, "Five Pieces for Orchestra" Op 16 (1909) and the "Pierrot Lunaire" (1912).
With the Five Pieces for Piano Op. 23 and the Serenade Op 24 of 1923 Schoenberg organizes the sounds in a rational way, which he defined:
"Method of Composition by means of twelve tones in relation only to each other " called Dodecaphony or" serial music ".
Born 13 September 1874 in Vienna, Austria as Arnold Schönberg, emigrated to the US in 1933 and changed his name to Arnold Schoenberg. He died 13 July 1951 in Los Angeles, California, USA.

Verklaerte was my first introduction to this great conductor years ago on a VOX vinyl recording. After close to 50 years of listening to and collecting this work on CDs and vinyl, it is still my first choice. The passion of the poem that inspired this masterpiece is fully revealed like no other recording, in my opinion! Thank you so much for posting it!

nearly so good as the famous Karajan BPO recording. Sounds great and urgent.

HORENSTEIN is my favorite conductor!

Leaves behind most other recordings in intensity, phrazing and sound color. Even Stokowski can not hold a candle to Horenstein, and Stokowski was one of music's greatest sound wizards ever...

Favourite. Most of the other versions have the audio level too soft.

Gorgeous interpretation!

Horenstein really brings out the romanticism in this work. I have heard so many performances of this piece that are rushed, and therefore sound superficial. Horenstein maintains the momentum, but ensures that we never miss the points of detail. Best ever interpretation.
