This album presents Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker’s tribute to Arnold Schoenberg on the 150th anniversary of his birth.

Arnold Schoenberg
This album presents Kirill Petrenko and the Berliner Philharmoniker exploring the many facets of Arnold Schoenberg’s music in honor of his 150th anniversary. Too often portrayed as a ruthless modernist, Schoenberg emerges here as a composer in whom intellect and emotion were inseparable. His works, rooted in tradition yet restlessly searching for new expression, are showcased across all creative phases: the late-Romantic intensity of Verklärte Nacht, the bold humor of the Chamber Symphony No. 1, the existential depth of Die Jakobsleiter, and the groundbreaking Variations for Orchestra, premiered by the Philharmoniker under Furtwängler. The Violin Concerto, written in American exile, reflects both personal struggle and resilience. Recorded with today’s immersive sound possibilities, this edition invites listeners to encounter Schoenberg’s art with openness — in both heart and brain.
