Music reviews of Schoenberg in Hollywood
Music Review: Not so degernerate Schoenberg.
Rating: 4 Stars
'Schoenberg in Hollywood' with two late 'tonal' works from the pioneer of atonal composition will probably disappoint any listener like me who trolls the less well travelled corners of musical works in search of the delightfully unusual. On top of Schoenberg's reputation for a ground breaker in compositional theory, this recording is being issued as part of London's Entartete Musik, or, music considered degenerate by the Third Reich. As these are both relatively late works and as both were composed 'in exile' in America, I doubt Herr Goebbels ever even heard them, much less issued any edicts against their performance. They are certainly less provocative than the great renditions of Berlin Cabaret songs by Ute Lemper issued in this same London series.
To my ear, these pieces are relatively ordinary mid-20th century orchestral works, a bit better than your standard movie music, but not up to Schoenberg's best, or Stravinsky's best, or Berg's best, or Bartok's best, etc.
