Arnold Schoenberg ┃ Alban Berg ┃ Anton Webern
The RIAS Second Viennese School Project
Compil. 2012 on Audite label
Classical (Modern, Twelve-tone)
These recordings of central works of the Viennese School, made between 1949 and 1965, are unique musical and historic documents. The first-rate interpreters predominantly come from the immediate circle around the composers, either as pupils of Schoenberg’s or as acquaintances of the composers. With this degree of authenticity and thanks to manifold interpretational approaches, this anthology offers comprehensive first-hand insights into the Second Viennese School. © 2012 Ludger Böckenhoff remastering: ℗ Ludger Böckenhoff, 2012 ℗ 1949 - 1965 Deutschland Radio Timings: CD1 = 77:03 CD2 = 79:16 CD3 = 76:41 CD4 = 67:37 Recording History -- CD1 [1-21] Aufnahme: 3.+10.3.1949, Kleistsaal, Berlin CD1 [22] Aufnahme: 10.1.1953, Jesus-Christus-Kirche, Berlin-Daylem CD1 [23-26] Aufnahme: 6.2.1949, Titania-Palast, Berlin (Live-Mitschnitt) CD2 [1] Aufnahme: 24.9.1951, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin - Studio 7 CD2 [2-16] Aufnahme: 3.11.1955, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin - Studio 7 CD2 [17] Aufnahme: 7.3.1958, Studio Lankwitz, Berlin CD2 [18-31] Aufnahme: 18.6.1963, Studio Lankwitz, Berlin CD2 [32-33] Aufnahme: 20.5.1951, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin – Studio 7 CD3 [1] Aufnahme: 23.9.1957, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin – Studio 7 CD3 [2-4] Aufnahme: 28.11.1949, Titania-Palast, Berlin (Live-Mitschnitt) CD3 [5-10] Aufnahme: 10.11.1963, Studio Lankwitz, Berlin CD3 [11-14] Aufnahme: 19.9.1953, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin – Studio 7 CD4 [1-7] Aufnahme: 4.7.1958, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin – Studio 7 CD4 [8-9] Aufnahme: 5.2.1960, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin – Studio 7 CD4 [10] Aufnahme: 1.2.1965, Studio Lankwitz, Berlin CD4 [11-15] Aufnahme: 5.12.1961, Studio Lankwitz, Berlin CD4 [16-19] Aufnahme: 7.5.1958, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin – Studio 7 CD4 [20-21] Aufnahme: 18.2.1950, Kleistsaal, Berlin CD4 [22] Aufnahme: 28.8.1953, RIAS Funkhaus, Berlin – Studio 7 (Live-Mitschnitt) “Konzert des Amerika-Hauses” 4 CDs, each with its own plain black, round-windowed sleeve, all packaged inside a hinged box which includes a 92 page booklet with track listing, credits, song texts, and historical notes on the works in English and German.
