Kammerkonzert: Music O... - Pina Napolitano - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

The exceptional Italian pianist Pina Napolitano, whose Odradek albumTempo e Tempi was selected as The Sunday Times 2020 'Best Contemporary Classical Album', returns to Schoenberg, in whose music she specialises. With Michael Zlabinger conducting the musicians of the Wiener Concert-Verein, this release features Schoenberg's Piano Concerto, Op. 42 in a new arrangement for 15 solo instruments by Hugh Collins Rice; the same forces used in Schoenberg's Chamber Symphony No. 1, and similar to those of his 'Song of the Wood Dove' from Gurrelieder, performed here by mezzo-soprano Ida Aldrian. Baritone Christoph Filler sings Schoenberg's Four Orchestral Songs, Op. 22 in an arrangement for voice and piano quintet. These smaller-scale scores are in the tradition of Schoenberg's own arrangements for chamber forces, made for his intimate and restrained society concerts in Vienna. The Wiener Concert-Verein is a chamber ensemble that began life as a symphony orchestra, members of which played Schoenberg's music at the time.
