This new recording presents arrangements for piano 4‐hands or two pianos by orchestral works by Arnold Schoenberg (the two Chamber Symphonies and the Five Pieces Op. 16), arranged by Alban Berg, Anton Webern and Schoenberg himself.
The arrangements are not merely a piano reduction for practical purposes but can stand on their own, shedding new light on these complex scores, and bringing out new details and sonorities.
Excellent performances by the Italian piano duo Matteo Fossi and Marco Gaggini, who already recorded a successful Bartók Complete Works for 2 Pianos CD for Brilliant Classics (BC94737).
Chamber symphony No.1 Op.9
Four‐hands piano version by Alban Berg.
Five pieces for orchestra Op.16
Two pianos version by Anton Webern.
Chamber Symphony No.2 Op.38
Two pianos version by Arnold Schönberg.
