John Carewe talks about Schoenberg’s “Erwartung” (Expectation) Simon Rattle presents Schoenberg’s sensuous side
In this concert, Simon Rattle presents Arnold Schoenberg’s sensuous side: in his Begleitmusik zu einer Lichtspielszene and the monodrama Erwartung we hear nightmarish brutality and psychotic fear. Schoenberg’s orchestration of Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 is quite different – music full of exuberant high spirits. As the soloist in Erwartung, Evelyn Herlitzius makes her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
