Violin Concerto "To the Memory of an Angel" / Three Orchestral Pieces, op. 6

Album by Alban Berg & Pinchas Zukerman & Pierre Boulez & London Symphony Orchestra & BBC Symphony Orchestra

Violin Concerto "To the Memory of an Angel" / Three Orchestral Pieces, Op. 6 is a compilation recording of orchestral works by Austrian composer Alban Berg, featuring the violin concerto completed in 1935 alongside the Op. 6 orchestral pieces from the mid 1910s. The programme juxtaposes Berg's later synthesis of twelve‑tone technique and sustained lyrical lines in the concerto with the earlier expressionist orchestral experimentation of the Op. 6 pieces, highlighting the composer's development from early modernist textures to a more integrated late style in his career.
