Franz Schreker’s Chamber Symphony is a fascinating oddity, written in the middle of Word War I for the teaching staff of Vienna’s Academy of Music. The liner notes describe Schreker as a “consummate artist in timbres” and the symphony as “phenomenal. It is Schreker’s only genuinely symphonic work.
Austrian cellist Heinrich Schiff made his debut in Vienna and London in 1971, launching a stellar solo career that has led to performances with all the great orchestras and pre-eminent conductors in the major music centres of the world. For years he has taken a special interest in contemporary music, working regularly with many leading composers of our time and premiering their works.
A highly regarded composer, Transylvania-born Peter Eötvös is, as conductor, one of the best known interpreters of 20th century music. In 1978, at Boulez’s invitation, he conducted the inaugural IRCAM concert in Paris, and was subsequently musical director of the Ensemble InterContemporain. He has worked extensively with the BBC Symphony and Budapest Festival Orchestras and Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra – with whom he has recorded Elliott Carter’s What Next? (472 1882) and the all-Hungarian Bartók/Eötvös/Kurtág CD with Kim Kashkashian (465 4202) for ECM New Series.
