Schonberg: Kammersymphonie Op. 9/Sechs Kleine Stucke

Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Heinz Holliger

In februari 2021, toen openbare concerten maandenlang moesten worden afgelast, konden de musici van het vermaarde Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne tenminste achter gesloten deuren bijeenkomen op het podium van de Opéra de Lausanne om deze opmerkelijke opname te maken met twee van de belangrijkste componisten van de Tweede Weense School, onder leiding van Heinz Holliger.

Schoenberg:
 Chamber Symphony No. 1 in E major, Op. 9
 Kleine Klavierstücke (6), Op. 19

Webern:
 Five movements for String Quartet, Op. 5 (1909)
 Symphony, Op. 21

"[Schoenberg's Kammersymphonie] It calls for considerable virtuosity from each of its 15 solo players, and the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra under Heinz Holliger acquits itself very well...Holliger gives a meticulous account of Webern’s enigmatic Symphony, Op. 21, with its intimate series of canons."
BBC Music Magazine - September 2022 ****

"Holliger and his players preserve the rhythmic spine of the music’s delicate polyphony as expertly as Pierre Boulez and a few others have managed before them."
