Dating from 2005 and 2012, these are the Vienna Philharmonic’s first recordings of two of Schoenberg’s works: the Piano Concerto with soloist Daniel Barenboim under Pierre Boulez and the extremely challenging Violin Concerto starring father and son: Michael Barenboim as soloist under the direction of his father Daniel. Even today the virtuosity of the Violin Concerto instils a sense of awe in many violinists; for a time Jascha Heifetz regarded the work as unplayable.

“Spiritual and not sentimental, intellectual and not emotional were Schoenberg’s performance values, according to the conductor Hermann Scherchen…overall, however, Barenboim and Boulez prove Scherchen’s dichotomy to be artificial, more successfully so than any previous version I’ve heard.” – Gramophone Magazine August 2015

“Where other orchestras wrestle with the difficulties, the Viennese may do so as well, but they then discover themselves in the music and this is really wonderful.” – Daniel Barenboim
