Suite, Op. 29; VerklÀrte Nacht; 3 Pieces cover art

Directed by Pierre Boulez, this compilation captures definitive modern performances of the Austrian composer's most vital chamber works. The collection seamlessly tracks Schoenberg's stylistic evolution, pairing the lush, late-Romantic tone poem 'VerklÀrte Nacht' with the strict, twelve-tone serialism of his later 'Suite, Op. 29'. It offers a profound, challenging overview of the Second Viennese School's architectural foundations.
