Lieder [Import]

Description du produit Lorsqu il s agit de musique moderne dont l encre est encore humide, Het Collectief est l une des meilleures formations européennes. Pour leur sixième disque chez Zig-Zag Territoires, l ensemble revient aux racines du répertoire moderne ; avec la soprano Katrien Baert, ils interprètent les Sieben frühe Lieder de Berg, les Maeterlinck Gesänge de Zemlinsky et la Passacaille de Webern. Critique The concerts of the Society for Private Music Performances,run by Schoenberg and his pupils in Vienna between 1919 and 1921,is the starting point for this delicious collection,which is wonderfully presented by up-and-coming Dutch soprano Katrien Baerts with the Flemish ensemble Het Collectief,conducted by Reinbert de Leeuw.Many of the works performed by the society were given in chamber arrangements made by its members,and one of those,Schoenberg's own version for string quintet,harmonium,piano flute and clarinet of Busoni's Berceuse Elégiaque begins this sequence.De Leeuw contributes his own reductions of Berg's Seven Early Songs,exquisitely sung by Baerts,and of Webern's orchestral Passacaglia Op 1,but the highlight of the disc is Alexander von Zemlinsky's Six Maeterlinck Songs,invested with a wonderful mix of mystery and allure by Baerts,with luminous rescorings shared between Erwin Stein,who worked with Schoenberg in Vienna,Leonard Stein,who assisted him in Los Angeles,and De Leeuw again. --The Guardian -Andrew Clements
