ALBAN BERG : Violinkonzert
("To the memory of an angel")
Sunday 19 April, 1936 – Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona
(XIV Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music)
Pau Casals Orchestra, cond. Hermann Scherchen
Louis Krasner, Violin solo
Universal Edition, 1996 (UE 34119)
“The 'Violin Concerto' is in a sense Alban Berg's farewell to this world: a painful, melancholic, devotional language (the last such one) to everything that was dear to him; a purely personal witness of his relationship to the world — to death — to God.”
– Helene Berg (1958)
