Berg, Schoenberg, Webern (La Nuova Scuola di Vienna, Vol. 1 - Grandi maestri dell'interpretazione)

The labyrinth-like density of the counterpoint juxtaposed by the complexity of the thematic relationships and the extraordinary logic with which everything is developed from the opening bar was ever to be the recurring theme of the la nuova scuola di Vienna. Yet the appeal behind their respective masterpiece is derived from the tension created by the co-existence of the bold and passionate contents and the self-effacing rigor of the form, the concentrated thematic invention and the austerely meditative lyricism. The expressive intensity of their work clearly reflects the tastes of the first decade of the 20th century.
