Berg / Webern / Schönberg / Brahms

As is well known, Arnold Schönberg's chamber symphony once led to "Watschn" in Vienna; today the virtuosic handwork only takes place on stage when violinist Isabelle Faust takes on the challenging and therefore rarely played piece.

Some of the great works of early new music culminate in the melancholy of Brahms' Clarinet Quintet on this evening of chamber music.
