Schoenberg's Sheen

[ritter]

I've already enthused about this on the WAYLT thread, but am thrilled to see that this:



has at last, 50 years on, appeared on CD, both in here:

and here:


I've never heard a better Op.9 - not just brilliantly played by the mid-70s Sinfonietta, but every detail of tempo and phrasing exactly & triumphantly right.

Oddly enough, if I click on no.2, it actually shrinks.  But it's the same performers in all 3 (since they're the same performances).

You set the size of each picture in your post to "width=250". When one clicks on it, it returns to its original size (be it larger —as in images 1 and 3– or smaller —2–).

I don't say this as an instruction, but just my preference - I try to always (unless I'm in a hurry) to write in the post the composer, work, and performers since that way if someone wishes to find the recording for either purchase or listening on a streaming serivce they need only to copy and paste the info into the search bar wherever they go.

Question about this set:


Does it contain texts/librettos?

I have this set

But the actual contents seem the same, so if there are texts in the new one, I don't need it.

(Are the contents the same? There are 13 CDs in the newer set versus 11 in the old, but the difference seems to simply result from the newer set being in original jackets format, unlike the old one. The only exception would be the inclusion of Berg's Lyric Suite.)
