Arnold Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire
Igor Stravinsky: Octet |
 Two quintessential
early 20th-century masterpieces that remain ineluctably
modern.
The New York New Music Ensemble,
conducted by Robert Black, returns for its second GM
release. (Also see GM2028.)
Their performance of Pierrot produces moments
of pure revelation, and Phyllis Bryn-Julson's rendering
of the famous Pierrot 'Sprechstimme' is finally
done as it was meant to be.
For the CD's finale, Gunther Schuller
has assembled an elite cast of New York chamber
musicians, and their reading of the Octet splendidly
captures the beauty and refined craft of Stravinsky's
neo-classic gem. |
"Perhaps the best new
music group in the country."
—The New
York Times
"A gem of a
group."
—Los
Angeles Times
