Cerha - Cello Concerto; Schreker - Chamber Symphony

Opis

Cerha - Cello Concerto; Schreker - Chamber SymphonyOpis:Master cellist Heinrich Schiff gives the premiere of the Cello Concerto - an intense, brilliantly scored work coloured variously by soprano sax, bongos, congas, and organ as well as banks of strings - written for him by Friedrich Cerha, at 81 widely considered Austria's greatest living composer. It is paired with Franz Schreker's Chamber Symphony, and both are superbly interpreted by conductor Peter Eötvös and the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra. Friedrich Cerha is best known worldwide as the composer who completed the 3rd act of Alban Berg's opera Lulu, played universally today in his reconstructed version. Born in 1926, he has always been an independent spirit. Associated early on with the two rival 12-tone schools - Hauer's and Schoenberg's - he founded, in 1958, the ensemble "die reihe" which remained under his direction until 1983 and set high standards for the performance of modern music. His Cello Concerto, commissioned by the Wien Modern and Berlin Festivals, employs characteristically unorthodox textures. Heinrich Schiff's brilliant, energized cello moves swiftly and agilely through ever-changing climates coloured variously by soprano sax, bongos and congas, and organ as well as banks of strings. Franz Schreker's Chamber Symphony is a fascinating oddity, written in the middle of Word War I for the teaching staff of Vienna's Academy of Music. The liner notes describe Schreker as a "consummate artist in timbres" and the symphony as "phenomenal". It is Schreker's only genuinely symphonic work.
