Artur Schnabel: Symphonies 1 & 3

by THE BBC SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA; THE PRAGUE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA; PAUL ZUKOFSKY, conductor

supported by

ROWIAL My first encounter with Artur Schnabel. Great! According to Sven (see below) and to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artur_Schnabel#Orchestral_works he was a rather close friend of Schoenberg; as well as (Wikip.:) ’Among the 20th century's most respected and important pianists ...’
I.m.o Schnabel offers remarkable and quite melodic variations/ alternatives to Schoenberg here. It's absolutely rewarding to "invest" some time - and, please, also a little money - discovering these symphonies.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) It was a fan named "Rivendell Record Shopp" who triggered my purchase of these two symphonies, as well as another one by Arthur Schnabel from the same label. Admittedly, I didn't know this composer before, but after reading that he was contemporary and even a friend of Arnold Schönberg sparked my interest. Indeed, there's some similarity in the way these two composer relaxed the laws of tonality in a quite convincing way, paving the way for atonal music. Favorite track: Schnabel: Symphony No. 1 - IV. Allegro Molto.

Isn't that a hopeful title in these days (jan. ’23)? But I still have to mine such reliable sources out of this wonder- and colorful bassoon concert; performed by a ±30 piece wind orchestra; including piano, bass and 4 percussionists. It's complex, adventurous, demanding but also inviting/alluring to get blissfully lost in it ... So it's a perfect companion to compile with ’We Carry Our Homes Within Us’ by yMusic (also here on BC). ROWIAL

Most recent listen commenced with entering a 54-mile road with no clear exists in Colorado, full of mountains, ice, snow, and no guard rails. Didn't think I was coming back. But, boy, was this opening track made all the more vivid. Love this record! Ongoing Box
