Product Description
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Ce fut une véritable révolution lorsque parurent en un coffret LP les trois compositeurs de l'École de Vienne (Schoenberg, Berg et Webern), réunis sous la direction de Karajan. Les deux oeuvres présentées ici furent captées en 1973 et 1974. La perfection sonore du Berliner Philharmoniker n'a jamais été égalée dans ces sommets de l'expressivité postromantique. La beauté des cordes qui relient directement Mahler à Schoenberg rendent la texture de ces dernières presque palpable. L'impact des graves, la qualité de cette houle sonore, qui passe en quelques mesures du quatuor originel à une immense machinerie, sont une expérience unique. Karajan fut le premier à rompre de façon spectaculaire les barrières d'un univers sonore qui faisait alors peur au plus grand nombre de mélomanes. Les enregistrements complémentaires de Karajan ont également été réédités dans la collection The Originals. - -Pierre Massé

A fine introduction to the music of Arnold Schoenberg,
By Bob (Mobile, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transfigured Night/Pelleas Und (Audio CD)
Some people are totally unaware of Schoenberg while others are repelled by the reputation of his atonal music. If you fall into either category, you would be doing yourself a favor to buy this CD and listen to it very carefully.In Transfigured Night alone there is much to be appreciated. Its opening establishes a dark and foreboding atmosphere that's touched with lament. From there, Transfigured Night manages to cover everything ranging from the manic to the sublime! The remarkable thing is that Schoenberg managed to do all of this so very artfully with just a string orchestra. Compare this to great composers such as Wagner and Mahler, who both seemed to require a massive cast along with every instrument known to man to reach the same heights. Briefly put, this is a "gateway drug" to the rest of Schoenberg's compositional output.

Late, late, late, late, late romantic music - WONDERFUL!,

This review is from: Transfigured Night/Pelleas Und (Audio CD)
Listening to this music is like looking those "realistic" paintings of the early Picasso. I just marvel at the complete technical mastery of the materials. It certainly helps to know these works in order to get a better handle on the later works and what those compositional methods were after.This kind of expressionism has always held an interesting contradiction for me. The emotional content is so dense and compressed, and yet the means of expression are so extravagant and extended. Maybe that is why he wanted the other rules of serialism and the more compressed style - to line up the emotions and means of expression. But I love this music. Lush, beautiful, satisfying and still provocative. Pelleas und Melissande is so compositionally dense that it seems almost over composed to me. I am not sure all of it is hearable (well, maybe a FEW people can (or think they can)). But it is pretty common for the great composers to be more verbose in their early works than in their later style. If you don't know these works and you like the lush late romatic style, you should treat yourself. If you don't know Schoenberg's tonal works, this disk would be a great place to start.

This review is from: Transfigured Night/Pelleas Und (Audio CD)
this is one of my favorite pieces. the recording is very powerful and emotional, having one of the most beautiful parts ever put on paper during the fourth movement. the violins holding that high note above the moving cellos is truly magnificent. Excellent recording and highly recommended.
