Album Notes
In the early years of the 20th century Arnold Schoenberg came to precipitous crises in both his professional and personal lives. This seems entirely manifest in his music, which became increasingly atonal and dealt more and more with disturbed emotions. Perhaps it is not surprising that he was perceived by some critics as entirely hostile, a man wielding "sharp daggers at white heat and paring away at his victims' flesh."
This is a dynamite double bill, two works of utter alienation, both otherworldly psychodramas in which demented characters wander about in the night in a haze of fear and hallucination. Yet the two are quite different. 'Pierrot Lunaire,' originally written for a cabaret performer, is the farce, using the commedia dell'arte figure of Pierrot as a front for what Schoenberg described as a "light, ironical and satirical tone," while 'Erwartung' is the horror movie, whose heroine floats in a stream of musical consciousness, searching in the dark for her lover, who is lying dead on the ground. Giuseppe Sinopoli, the only maestro around with a psychology degree, makes the most of his education, getting wonderful responsive performances from his soloists and gorgeous, creepy sound from the Dresden Staatskapelle.
