condition (record/cover): NM / EX+ (price tag on front) | These recordings by David Atherton and the London Sinfonietta from the 1970s, which form the basis of this album and the larger Complete Works for Chamber Ensemble set, were highly acclaimed. Pierrot Lunaire (Op. 21): A seminal work of 20th-century music, it is a melodrama for reciter (using Sprechstimme vocal technique) and chamber ensemble, featuring 21 poems. Ein Stelldichein: A sombre and evocative fragment for oboe, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano. Herzgewächse (Op. 20): A piece for high soprano, celeste, harmonium, and harp, known for its ethereal and stratospheric vocal demands. Three Pieces for Chamber Orchestra: A set of short, aphoristic pieces showcasing distilled expressionism. Nachtwandler: A sardonic cabaret song (one of the Brettl-Lieder) that presents a more informal side of the composer.
