Arnold Schoenberg's two late concertos, written in America: the Violin Concerto op. 36 (1934-36), which he said needed a soloist with six fingers, and the Piano Concerto op. 42 (1942), the most lyrical and approachable of his twelve-tone scores, with its waltz-like opening. A young Alfred Brendel plays the piano part, Wolfgang Marschner the violin, with the Südwestfunkorchester Baden-Baden under Michael Gielen.
The recordings were first released in mono and are here remastered for stereo, with an Oskar Kokoschka portrait of the composer on the cover and notes by Hans Keller. A 1977 Italian pressing of the Turnabout edition, distributed by Fonit-Cetra.
