Pierrot lunaire; Herzgewächse; Ode to Napoleon
by Arnold Schoenberg
Featuring pristine modern recordings of the pioneering composer's most influential vocal works, this collection highlights his radical departure from traditional tonality. The chilling Sprechstimme vocal delivery and stark, atonal chamber instrumentation perfectly capture the terrifying, deeply psychological unease of the Expressionist movement.
