Alban Berg - 7 Frühe Lieder for orchestra (with Orchestra score)

[@celloguy]

Exquisite performance (amazingly it was recorded live!) and so useful to have with the score. Thanks for posting

The final of the Traumengekröt is one of the most beautiful endings I have ever heard. Simplicity, no weird harmonic changes, but simply beautiful as it is.

Perfection after the twisting beauty that has led up to it.

Please listen to the late Soprano, Chloe Owen sing the Berg on KZbin.

This is the kind of music that could give you severe indigestion issues if you're not careful enough. For me, Nacht is the clear standout, I couldn't put my finger on what it reminded me of until Kocsis's orchestration of Les Ingénus dawned on me. (here it is if you're curious kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYHLiYWCgtWVh7M) By the way, captivating orchestration, my main issue with this very late romantic style is that the textures/mood/overall soundscape suffers from sameness at times. They beg for an explicit, coherent motivic structure. Same with Gurre Lieder, I feel like the busy counterpoint and the ever changing harmonies muddy the water too much, so to speak. They don't like to give the music much breathing room. But I cannot stress this enough: only for *my taste* . Strange, I never experienced this issue with e. g. Debussy, he uses revolutionary harmony but at the same time, his ideas are always cogent and unambiguous.

I've got the same problem you have only with Schönberg, which I find really hard to follow (from the first tonal works throughout all his opus). Webern is more clear (he's usually a lot shorter), but especially Berg has always been very empathically close to my experience. My taste, also. ;)

@@SPscorevideos Well, early post-romantic Berg/Webern/Schönberg is IMO the closest thing to 12-tone music without actually having to listen to 12-tone music. It's strange how this particular style elicited Classical music to go on its separate ways. The second Viennese guys with dodecaphony, Bartók and many others with folk influences and Stravinsky/Poulenc/Prokofiev etc. with neoclassicism.
