Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostSchoenberg. Pierrot Lunaire.
Patricia Kopatchinskaja, voice.
The Pat Kop Ensemble.
Still trying with this piece. Alas, it still eludes me.
I'm not sure about this recording with Patricia Kopatchinskaja. I admit the score is an acquired taste for many but I have really engaged with Pierrot Lunaire when attending live performances in Munich and in Berlin when the narration was undertaken by professional actors, which makes a big difference to me.

Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View PostHuge respects for still trying, though, PG - one day it will "click", possibly by way of another work of Schoenberg's. Such things are not unknown.
If the public libraries ever open again I’ll try to borrow a score. Mind you, I listened to Schoenberg’s Violin Concerto many times with a score and I’m none the wiser.

For me Schoenberg’s Violin Concerto is one of the toughest works I ever heard. I'm not sure I would reach for it to play again.

Originally posted by pastoralguy View PostI’m listening now. Hmm. It’s very clean with everything in the correct order but, for me, it misses that slightly manic and chaotic character I look out for in these works.

Originally posted by ahinton View PostI confess that for years I just couldn't make head or tail of it but the revelation came when listening to the recording by Hilary Hahn (which is curiously coupled with the Sibelius Concerto!) which I heartily recomend, especially to anyone who finds the piece borderline impenetrable...
Yes, I have that Hahn recording. She is certainly a super player.
