Arnold Schönberg: Transfigured Night
Audio CD Verified Purchase. Arrived safely and on time. Purchased mainly for the Verklarte Nacht, but the other pieces are interesting to have as well. MP3 Music Verified Purchase. Gorgeous playing, expressive virtuostic and elegant. This is a recording of members of the Ensemble Intercontemporain. I consider this to be one of Schoenberg's masterpieces, and this performance and recording is the standard by which others are measured. While in general I find works of Schoenberg's later atonal and tone periods to be more impressive, this is a fine early piece in the late Romantic idiom.
This disc in Sony's Pierre Boulez series is an excellent combination of early and late chamber works -- I find both to be thoroughly convincing and compelling. Also included is the short "3 Pieces For Chamber Orchestra," a fragment found after Schoenberg's death, a piece for an ensemble of Years later, in , Schoenberg crafted a new arrangement for string orchestra including basses , though still without winds or percussion.
A couple is walking in the night.
They are in love, but the woman is pregnant with the child of another man, not her present lover. She fears that her lover will condemn her and abandon her, yet the beauty of the evening and the intensity of their love overcome their difficulties.
Help us improve this article! No fingering indications in this edition. The string orchestra version had its premiere in the English city of Newcastle upon Tyne in December , conducted by Schoenberg's champion and former student Edward Clark. It is generally agreed that Schoenberg's writing falls into three periods, an early Romantic period , the free atonal expressionist period , and the 12 tone period See all 7 reviews.
Cast in a single extended movement with several tempi, the work opens with a tentative mood, built upon a repeated falling phrase. First heard in the lower strings, then reappearing in the higher strings, its gentle pace offers a mood of deep poignancy. Restless phrases of almost dissonant harmony appear as the woman confesses her condition.
The work ultimately builds to a prolonged viola solo of impassioned regret, but calm returns with serene lines for the full ensemble.

You can make it easier for us to review and, hopefully, publish your contribution by keeping a few points in mind. Your contribution may be further edited by our staff, and its publication is subject to our final approval.
Unfortunately, our editorial approach may not be able to accommodate all contributions. The third movement, marked Allegro misterioso is a kind of scherzo. The quartet conjures up images of nocturnal insects, fidgeting and nervous. The string effects are thrilling, with pizzicato and what sounds like sul ponticello creating a stark and diaphanous array of colour.
The fourth movement is expressive and imbued with passion. In the fifth movement, the daring rhythmic aggression is breathtaking. I have a great fondness for this work, and have several recordings. The woman shares a secret with her new lover that she bears a child by another man. The man loves her and is prepared to accept the child.
This is the subject of the poem by Richard Dehmel of the same title from which Schoenberg drew his inspiration, but the music also reflects his feelings towards Mathilde von Zemlinsky, sister of the composer; he was later to marry her. The Belcea conveys the troubled emotional narrative, with their intimate conversational style.
The mysterious opening is effectively evoked. What also adds to the success of the performance is their sensitive dynamic control and the subtle tempo relationships between the various sections. The intricate instrumental detail has clarity and definition throughout.
