4.0 out of 5 stars
an interesting experiment in vocal compositions, October 31, 2000
This review is from: Complete Choral Works (Audio CD)
Schoenberg, the father of serialism, wrote a lot of very interesting music that doesn't always get a lot of play in the standard classical rep. This cd is showcase of some of those works, focusing on his all-vocal pieces. Sometimes pretty, sometimes disturbing, always interesting. Some of the more atonal pieces can be very hard to take if you're not interested in discordant music, but fans of classical experimentation and more 'difficult' music will be enthralled. The recording and performances are good. The liner notes are a bit on the brief side.
