Immerse yourself in the rich, expressive world of Alban Berg with this captivating album, released on September 16, 2002, by Naxos. This collection showcases Berg's mastery of opera and orchestral composition, offering a profound exploration of his unique musical language.
The album opens with Berg's Violin Concerto, a piece that beautifully balances intensity and lyricism. The concerto is followed by three movements from Berg's Lyrical Suite, each offering a distinct emotional landscape. The first movement, "Andante amoroso," is tender and intimate, while the second, "Allegro misterioso," is marked by a sense of intrigue and playfulness. The final movement, "Adagio appassionato," is a powerful, emotional climax.
The album concludes with three orchestral pieces from Berg's Op. 6. These pieces, including the lively "Praludium," the playful "Reigen," and the majestic "Marsch," demonstrate Berg's versatility and innovative spirit.
With a duration of just over an hour, this album is a perfect introduction to Berg's work for those new to his music, and a delightful addition to the collections of those already familiar with his compositions.
