Concerto For Violin And Orchestra, "A La Mémoire D'Un Ange" / Chamber Concerto For Violin / Piano And 13 Wind Instruments

Album by Alban Berg & Christian Ferras & Pierre Barbizet & Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire & Georges Prêtre

This album is a recording of works by Alban Berg, comprising a concerto for violin and orchestra composed in 1935 and a chamber concerto for violin, piano and thirteen wind instruments dating from the mid-1920s. Musically, the pieces blend late-Romantic lyricism with twelve-tone technique and expressionist harmony, illustrating Berg's move from early atonal experimentation towards a more integrated, melodic use of serialism and marking a significant transition in his compositional development and in early 20th-century music.
