A Survivor From Warsaw

Album by Arnold Schönberg & Simon Callow & London Symphony Orchestra & Robert Craft

A Survivor from Warsaw is a cantata for narrator, men's chorus and orchestra by Arnold Schoenberg, composed in 1947. Scored in Schoenberg's twelve-tone idiom, it combines stark orchestral textures, speech-like narration and choral outbursts to depict an account of the Holocaust, marking a late-career engagement with political subject matter and exemplifying the use of serial techniques in dramatic, text-driven music.
