There is a link between the style of the early masters and that of the innovators” asserted Schönberg. The programme of this disk seeks to prove this saying of the master of the Second Viennese School.
Hortense Cartier-Bresson sets up a dialogue between the fathers of serial music and Bach. Interweaving the Toccatas BWV 910-913-914 with the first Sonata of Berg, the Three Pieces of Schönberg and the Variations of Webern, this recording explores the great Austro-Germanic tradition and its inheritance.
