Description:

Schoenberg & Varèse, conducted by Kocsis! Pelléas et Mélisande", Schoenberg's only symphonic poem, consists of a single movement and uses complex counterpoint in a late Romantic style, but it also shows various innovations that lead to his later works using the twelve-tone technique. Varèse's "America" is the first work in which Varèse, who had been writing in the late Romantic style, began to use percussion instruments more extensively under the influence of Stravinsky and others. Zoltán Kocsis, a renowned pianist, was a founding member of the Budapest Festival Orchestra, was appointed music director of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, and was also active as a conductor.
