Schänberg - Chamber Symphony No. 1 Op. 9 - Orchestre

Description

'Composed between the spring of 1906 and July of the same year, the Chamber Symphony op.9 for 15 solo instruments represents a point of culmination in Schoenberg's artistic development, the consequences of which not even the composer himself initially recognised.' Ulrich Krämer'The 1914 version is not chamber music - however its sound is simply less aggressive than the later version.

It is more limpid, lucid, less incisive, and that allows the voices to emerge more clearly.' (Philippe Jordan, 2012)op.9
