ARNOLD SCHOENBERG: Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), Op. 4; Chamber Symphony No. 1 Op. 9 - The Smithsonian Chamber Players/Kenneth Slowik - Dorian Sono Luminus DSL-90909 DVD + CD [Release date: Sept. 29, 09]

This is the perfect dual disc combination of a CD and DVD: a standard stereo CD of both Schoenberg works plus their complete performances on video with Dolby Digital 5.1 or 2.0 audio, combined with several extras on the DVD.

With his setting of Stefan George’s portentous poetic text “Ich fühle Luft von anderem Planeten" ("I feel the air of another planet") in the Second String Quartet, Op. 10 (1908), Arnold Schoenberg proclaimed the arrival of a new kind of music for the twentieth century.
