Anja Silja was an intense singing actress, and her Erwartung with the Wiener Philharmoniker under her husband Christoph von Dohnányi is one of the most theatrical on record. The orchestra plays Arnold Schoenberg's score with a lushness that recalls how close it still is to late Romanticism, even as it dissolves every rule.
The Six Songs op. 8, with orchestra, on texts from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, Petrarch and Heinrich Hart, show the earlier, post-Wagnerian Schoenberg. A 1981 Decca digital recording, with one of Schoenberg's own paintings on the cover and an 8-page booklet with texts.
