Free Music Review: 5-Stars Just for being in Print...
Hit: 5 Stars
.
With the dearth of Schoenberg recordings, gotta give this CD 5-stars simply for being in print.
Boulez and the Ensemble Intercontemporain are great. The disc has the Verkl?rte Nacht curse--that is, nearly every Schoenberg CD has Verkl?rte Nacht on it! However, this features the original sextet version which is interesting for the timber alone. Cf. Brahms' two string sextets, and Reger's if you can find it.
The Suite for septet, however, is quintessential Schoenberg and must not be missed.
Razor-sharp 12-tone hardcore work, features curious sonic effects with the three clarinets and specialized techinques with the three stringed instruments: col legno (using the wood of the bow for tapping or bowing on the strings or body of the instrument); glissandi (sliding down the strings); extensive pizzicato (plucking the strings), etc.
Noted old binary dance steps give the work the appearance of something like Decadent/Expressionistic Austrian jazz: very scary, and very Sch?nbergian.
See:
Schoenberg: Suite / Wind Quintet
for an excellent Septet with the great Wind Quintet. Was out of print; recently reissued.
