That's a good disc. I very much like the performance of Serenade on it as well.

I don't have it any more: it was stolen from me in a breakin several years ago and I've never seen it at a decent price since then. (Oh, the joys of searching for OOP discs.)

I have to ask: What else was taken? (I'm imagining a couple of runny nosed junkies scratching themselves as they paw through your CD collection.  One of them finds the PL and holds it overhead triumpantly.  "Score!" he says.)

Have any idea where I might purchase a copy?

Yes, the Serenade is a wonderful bonus...

A little interim PS to this discussion: I have been fortunate enough to experience PL several times in concert, and the most remarkable was a performance by Cathy Berberian in three languages: the original French, German, and English (her own translation, I believe, as she translated Brecht/Weill so brilliantly). It was strange, sleazy, scary, charming...(you complete the series) in a word, wow. Later the Theater am Turm in Frankfurt offered an LP of this performance (it was in the 70s, and she did several concerts there); I was poor and thought, I can get it later...Now you can't get it for love or money, groan. While I'm on the subject of MagniCathy, her live concert of songs our great-grannies loved (or something, you know, music hall, salon & Clara Butt material) must soon be issued on CD, OR ELSE!

I use to dislike this work at best at worst hate it, but now I'm hook on this LP version by Boulez.

The narration is perfect, the music is somehow Jazzy in a way, the ambiance is warm and starling mysterious, before having a good or fairly god usb  LP player I did not appreciate this work, now it has become a favorite, don't know why it just happen.

It's moody for sure, very pleasant, butt please listen to this on a pick-up table and a Pierre Boulez version, he really understood what Schoenberg try to do, the instrumentation is sublime & top notch, It has many spin on my player, someone mention me if I like Le pierrot lunaire opus.21 I might like le marteau sans maitre  from Boulez, that it's like le pierrot  a kind.

Anymore subjection about similar work I'm hook for good!

Anyone listen to this work everyday has a routine, to ease you're mind and relaxed.

Nitpicky detail: It's actually Opus 21. Schoenberg being a bit fixated on numbers. The Opus number coincides with the 21 Giraud poems comprising the cycle.
