Arnold Schoenberg

Gurre-Lieder
4 songs, op. 22

BBC Symphony Orchestra
Pierre Boulez, cond.

   

This is one of the great tonal works of Schoenberg. Impressive in the use of motive, at turns lush and shimmering in orchestration, moving in affekt, this work is a testament to the early brilliance of one of the great figures of 20th-century music making.
