Erwartung, written in seventeen days in 1909 on a libretto by Marie Pappenheim, is the most extreme score of Arnold Schoenberg's expressionist period: thirty minutes of a woman wandering in a forest at night, without themes, repetitions or anything to hold onto, a stream of consciousness set to music. Here Helga Pilarczyk, a soprano who specialised in modern roles, sings it with the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie under Hermann Scherchen.
A mono pressing from the early Wergo catalogue, with an eight-page insert by Helmut Kirchmeyer on the genesis of the drama and Schoenberg's encounter with Pappenheim.
