Maps and Legends: Disc 4 (2010)

<em>Maps and Legends:</em> Disc 4

Disc 4 brings together three of the twentieth century’s most commanding compositional voices. Dmitry Shostakovich’s name has become virtually synonymous with the intensity of his musical reaction to Stalinism, his work serving as a musical chronicle of the harsh conditions under Stalin’s regime. His countryman and contemporary Sergey Prokofiev fled Russia after the October Revolution of 1917 and ultimately settled in Paris, where he composed the Opus 39 Quintet, a work of razor-sharp wit and duplicitous charm. Arnold Schoenberg became the most notorious of the three as Western music’s first composer to abandon the tonal system. His audacious compositional language that so revolutionized music in the twentieth century remains as fresh and provocative at the dawn of the twenty-first.   |   Liner Notes
