Vienna 1910: the Alban Berg Ensemble Wien in sophisticated and vibrant accounts of works by Mahler, Schoenberg and Richard Strauss
[…] this line-up, and this was intended to be played alongside Pierrot Lunaire. For this disc, Martyn Harry has arranged Mahler's 'Adagio' for flute, clarinet, string quartet and piano (Pierrot Ensemble plus another violin), and Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier Suite for flute, clarinet, oboe, string quartet, double bass and piano (Pierrot Ensemble plus oboe, double bass and another violin) with the Alban Berg Ensemble Wien being joined by oboist Nora Cismondi and double bass player Alois Posch. The fascinating thing about hearing Mahler's Adagio brilliantly boiled down to just seven instruments is that the clarity brings out Mahler's daring and modernism. Whilst Mahler, in his symphonies, was wrestling with the legacy of Beethoven he was also looking forward, and in his tenth symphony his own disastrous personal life makes a significant contribution. His wife had had an affair with the architect Walter Gropius and Mahler had sought counselling with Sigmund […]

[…] combination in the third movement, likewise in the interplay between solo and ripieno writing, any balance problems now resolved. A courtly and characterful procession of dances brought the work to a close, reminding us that Bach’s idea of progression in a multi-movement work is often very different from ours. Sometimes that can cause problems for modern listeners or performers; here the question never arose. Musically directed virtuosity from oboes and horns (Samuel Seidenberg and Sebastian Posch) in ‘their’ Trio proved but one of many delights. To hear one of Hindemith’s 1920s Kammermusik pieces immediately afterwards was instructive, perhaps above all because it suggested contrast rather than underlying affinity (at least to my ears). The first movement was frenetic and sardonic, knife-edge precision as expressive as it was impressive: quite the introduction. The second movement calmed down somewhat, if only comparatively. That calming permitted one to savour the estimable […]
