Dawn of the Newtonian - Arnold Schönberg's Transfigured Night and Chamber Symphony No. 1

"All music, all human creativity, has a skeleton, a bloodstream and a nervous system. I would like my music to be understood as a sincere and intelligent human being coming to us and saying something that he feels deeply and is meaningful to us all." This plea for living art comes from someone who was often reduced to his theory: Arnold Schönberg (1874-1951).

It was and remains incredible that an autodidact of all people broke with the system of major and minor keys; that a Jewish cobbler's son from Vienna's 2nd district, who had to learn about the sonata from the dictionary of conversation, redefined what it meant to compose in the first third of the century. The - still effective - stimulus words associated with the Schönberg phenomenon are of a theoretical nature: emancipation of dissonance, atonality, twelve-tone row. They are far more familiar than the works of the man who was really only interested in one thing: making music.

This recording contains the "Verklärte Nacht" based on the poem by Richard Dehmel from 1899 (in the revised version for string orchestra from 1943) and the Chamber Symphony No. 1, op. 9 from 1906.
